When we are talking about the “inside” home remedies for hair loss, it is useful to take a good quality vitamin and mineral substitutes containing sufficient amounts of vitamin A, B6 and biotin, as well as iron, copper, zinc and iodine. It will help prevent hair loss.
As for the “outside” remedies, there are many plants that operate on the health of the scalp, like the ones mentioned above. If you were thinking about buying products for hair loss prevention, you should know that those products often contain small amounts of plant extracts, so it is sometimes better for health of your hair, but also your wallet, to take matters into your own hands. So let’s get to work.
First we prepare a tincture for preventing hair loss, and then lotion.
Weigh in a glass bowl some dry herbs: 40 g of nettle root, 20 g of burdock root, 20 g of rosemary leaves and 20 g of sage leaf and drizzle them with 500 ml of 50% ethanol.
Close the jar and leave it to macerate for three weeks, then strain the tincture and store in a dark bottle.
The lotion that increases blood circulation, nutrition and health of hair is made like this: put 100 ml of tincture on low heat and leave it to evaporate until there is 50 ml of the tincture. That way the alcohol will evaporate.
In 50 ml tincture add:
- 50 ml of Sage hydrosol
- 2 g of Vegetable Glycerine
- 20 drops of Rosemary Cineole chemotype essential oil
- 20 drops of Himalayan cedar essential oil
- 20 drops Cypress Essential Oil
- 10 drops of Sage Essential Oil
The lotion should be shaken well before use, and applied twice a day by gently massaging the scalp with 15-20 drops. A drop of the above essential oils can also be used in your dose of shampoo – apply shampoo on the hair and leave it for a few minutes to allow essential oils to penetrate the scalp.
