Most men live in fear of losing their hair and will try literally anything to prevent it, but plenty of women are affected too. People battling hair loss spend millions of dollars a year on all kinds of pills, potions, drugs and treatments to try to hang on to their crowning glory. Here are some natural remedies for hair loss that are well worth a try:

Saw Palmetto as a Natural Cure for Hair Loss- Saw Palmetto is best known for its use to maintain prostate health but increasingly it is being used by some as a treatment to slow down hair loss. The theory is that because it is so effective in the treatment of an enlarged prostate its effects on testosterone help combat male hair loss as well.

Rosemary and Sage as Natural Remedies for Hair Loss – Shampoos containing rosemary and/or sage have been shown to be effective for some battling hair loss. They are both astringent in nature so it is believed that a combination of the two stimulates hair follicles and may even encourage new growth. You can make your own rosemary and sage shampoo by boiling the two herbs (leaves and stems) then adding the mixture to castile soap.

Bhringaraj oil as a Natural Remedy for Hair Loss - Bhringaraj oil has been used in the practice of Ayurvedic medicine for centuries as a way to prevent baldness. It should be applied directly to the scalp on a regular basis or you could choose one of the many specialist Bhringaraj oil shampoos that are readily available online these days

Yucca as a Natural Remedy for Hair Loss – Yucca – not be confused with yuca, a potato like food – is a plant common to the Southwest United States. Native Americans used it to combat hair loss. If you want to try it, take a piece of yucca root (this includes the above-ground "trunk" of the plant) and peel off the brown outer layer to expose the fleshy white interior, then smash it up. Run this under water and it will lather up just like soap, so that you can use it as a “shampoo”.
