Quick fixes for healthy hair and scalp

Dryness in the scalp can happen anytime round the year. But it is most common during winters. White loose powdery flakes in the hair are the common symptoms of this. The sebaceous glands produce oil for scalp. Due to extreme climate changes, not drinking enough water or any scalp problems these glands are dehydrated and not produce enough natural oils. Some people confuse this with dandruff. Dandruff is caused by yeast like fungus and grows very fast. The dead skin cells start to shed from the scalp and make it itchy. The mild inflammation is irritating and socially embarrassing.

Natural oils can treat the condition- Use natural oils to fight the dryness in the scalp. The oils which absorb easily in the scalp are highly recommended. Jojoba oil has similar properties of sebaceous gland’s natural oil. It also protects the scalp against bacteria’s. Olive oil and coconut oil have antibacterial properties.

Drink plenty of water. This will resist the gland to be dehydrated. Cover your head while going out. This way you will save your head from sudden temperature change. Tie the hair when it's too windy. Cold waves can harm your hair as well as scalp. Rinse your hair with half a cup of apple cider vinegar mixed with three cups of water. It gives you relief from itchy scalp.

A closer look at untimely baldness in men

Hair loss in men is caused by Androgenetic alopecia. It is also known as male pattern baldness. Heredity, stress, prolonged illness and reactions of certain medications etc are few of the reasons for this. A genetic compassion to DHT (dihydrotestosterone) can shorten the life span of a hair follicle. These follicles then stop producing new hair. Thinning crown and a receding hairline is the most common symptoms. This pattern of hair loss further evolves on whole top area of the head, making a pattern of horseshoes. There are many pharma drugs and oils available to regrow them. Homeopathic remedies for hair fall are very successful in treating male pattern baldness.

What causes it? - Hair loss in men is generally triggered by growing age. It is very common after the age of 50. But shedding unusual amount of hair in early 20s is a matter of concern. Few people say that always wearing a cap or running fingers in hair can damage them. But it is not true. You protect your hair from sun and pollution by wearing a cap. How can a cap damage them? Running fingers in hair or brushing them circulates more blood in that area and promotes further growth.

How can you treat it? - Technically, hair loss is not a serious health issue. It has a social impact. Baldness can make you look a few years older. You can prevent it if you start observing the symptoms at an early stage. Timely and proper treatment is necessary to stop hair fall. Homeopathy has a solution for almost every problem. Consult a homeopath and start treating the root cause of the problem. Homeopathic remedies for hair fall don’t have any negative effect. Regrown the hair through transplantation is also another option. Although it is a bit costly, but is 100% successful. In a span of six months, your hair starts to look natural.

Make lifestyle changes – Smoking has a significant role in hair loss. Stop smoking and see the difference yourself. Eat a well-balanced diet. Handle your hair with care. Use a mild shampoo to keep them clean. Maintain good hair hygiene. Avoid excessive use of chemical based products for styling. Hair loss can be treated with ayurvedic oils, medicines and homeopathic remedies. Choose the treatment carefully as most of the lucrative advertisements are shams. Regular massage can also help in getting stronger and full head of hair.

Is the overdose of homeopathic medicines safe?

Homeopathy is a branch of medical science which works on the principle of ‘like cures like’.  If the body is suffering due to particular element/substance, the same substance can be used in curing the disease. Homeopaths believe that the human body has the power to heal itself. It needs something to kick start the process. These homeopathic remedies give the kick start to this process. It is a holistic approach of treatment which is widely accepted across the world. But there are few disbelievers as well who spread rumors about the authenticity of these medicines. They compare these medicines with traditional drugs and claim things which are baseless.

An overdose of any drug can kill – Overdose of any pharma drug can kill a person. This is the reason that a warning is printed on the package as well. But this is not the case with homeopathic remedies. Critics have tried taking an overdose and nothing happened to them. Then they claimed that these medicines don’t work because their overdose is not harmful.  They don’t understand that homeopathy is not a chemical based drug. How can a natural substance dangerous? Making them understand this simple thing is as difficult as making the people believe that the earth is round.

Homeopathy is not a chemical drug - You need an elevated worldwide view to understand the philosophy behind homeopathy. As it is not made with chemicals, you can safely consume the overdose. Let me make my point clear here that this is the biggest advantage of this therapy. It is non-toxic and therefore non-dangerous too. These remedies are just diluted water with some active substance. It is the harmonious way of healing and you just can’t overindulge on harmony. You can drink a few drops to a few bottles of water at a time, but it will not harm your body.

Medicines should be safer to consume – Why we take medicines? Because we want to bring back the original health of our body. What if the same medicine produces ill effects after a bit of an overdose? This is actually happening with chemical based drugs. They are making people dead by suppressing the actual disease. They don’t treat the root cause in the rush to produce quick results. I don’t understand why are we in a hurry every time? Try homeopathic medicines and remedies to feel the difference.  Don’t let your body fight with chemicals alone.
