You may be shocked to know that some people are treating there hair loss with products other than medications. These are natural and not prescribed by a doctor so you can get them over the counter at your local drug store. Everyday, people are using and finding products that are natural to cure there hair problems. We will go over a couple of the more common hair loss herbs used to treat hair loss and other hair related issues.

You must remember that if you chose to use any of the herbs that we suggest, you know that they are not medications. Therefore, there is no guarantee on how well they will work, even if you read about them working well for someone else. However, you should not have to worry about them causing you harm if you do decide to try them.

All the herbs, which we are suggesting for a hair loss treatment, work in a variety of different ways. Below we look at what some of these are and how they affect the way your hair looks and grows.

1. Chamomile - This is not only a great herb for helping to promote healthy new hair growth but is superb for helping to reduce stress levels. In some cases, the cause of hair loss can be that a person is under extreme pressure, which causes their stress levels to rise.

2. Burdock or Catnip - These two herbs can help with making your hair more healthy. This will help with making your hair stronger and thus less likely to suffer the effects hair loss may cause. These two herbs are usually found within a solution like, Hair loss shampoo or conditioner. Then all you would do is use them like you would normally use one of these products.

3. Saw Palmetto - One herb that seems to be having more written about in than many other herbs used for treating hair loss is this one. It helps to promote health growth by reducing the levels of DHT, a hormone in the body that if produced in excess amounts eventually weakens the hair follicles.

4. Green Tea - There was a study done in Japan that showed a benefit by drinking green tea. The tea helped by increasing the sex hormone binding globulin. The effects of this are that testosterone production is lowered; a major cause of hair loss in women is testosterone.

Along with the hair loss herbs that we have mentioned above, there are plenty of suggestions on other herbs that can help to treat this condition. Ones like apple cider vinegar, and sage tea, or psoralea seeds, which you apply directly to your scalp, or you can try ginger or liquorice extract instead.
