Hair loss can be seen in varying rates in both men and women. The most important cause in men is the type of hair loss that we call androgenetic alopecia. In other words, hair loss due to genetic reasons.
This type of hair loss is responsible for 95% of all hair loss. Here, the hormone responsible for hair loss is Di Hydrotestesterone (DHT), which we call “bad” testosterone.
Hair follicles, which are sensitive to this hormone, begin to miniaturize with the effect of DHT and their life is shortened, and they start to grow normally, which makes itself felt in the form of opening in the temporal areas and thinning in the crown area and the hair roots becoming visible in men. This form of shedding can then progress until the entire top of the head is opened and finally there is only a narrow area of hair on the nape of the neck.
Saw Palmetto plant is a plant used in women and men to prevent hair loss. This herb is actually a natural DHT blocker used to inhibit prostate enlargement; but it is also known to cure baldness to some extent.
The advantages of this herbal and natural DHT blocker are that it has no side effects and is natural, not a chemical agent. Finasteride, the most important drug in this regard, can cause serious side effects in men and is prohibited for women (it can lead to congenital anomalies in babies). However, Saw Palmetto can be used safely in female pattern hair loss, it has no side effects. Moreover, it is much cheaper than minoxidil and finasteride, which are not covered by health insurance.
While patients are struggling with hair loss and a healthy, natural diet regimen, unnecessary chemicals do not enter their bodies. A healthy diet, nutrients, lots of water and Saw Palmetto can provide serious improvement in hair loss. But of course, the first requirement is to be able to reveal the cause and underlying causes of hair loss. For this, it is necessary to get professional help.
