Hair loss may be due to negative stress, lack of stimulation or poor circulation of the scalp, a diet deprived of proper balances of amino acids like Lysine, minerals such as Zinc or Iron, or vitamins B1 or C. Here are some simple, yet calming, exercises for the promotion of hair care;

1.      Have someone (or yourself) rub your scalp with fingertips.  A little baby oil may make the experience more pleasurable and less chafing.

2.      Boil dry pieces of Amla (Indian Gooseberry) in coconut oil. Mix even parts fresh Amla juice and lime juice.  Apply as a shampoo.  The Romasanjana variety is traditionally known to specifically stimulate hair growth.

3.      Drink 30 drops of red clover tops liquid extract daily.

4.      Make a mixture of sage tea and apple cider vinegar and place in a plastic bottle.  Use this mixture after shampooing, as a rinse.

5.      Hot and cold cloth applications have been beneficial in stimulating the scalp.

6.      Take 30-60 mg supplemental zinc daily.

7.      Cut a garlic clove and rub it on the problem areas about an hour before bedtime. Just prior to turning in, massage your scalp with olive oil and put on a shower cap. Sleep.  When you wake up in the morning, make sure you shampoo.  Do this for a few weeks.  Hair should stop falling out and new hair may begin to grow. Warning – be careful of lingering odors.  Have spouse or friend let you know if you smell like a deli. Odor

8.      Rub Aloe Vera into the scalp.

9.      Take one and a half Tbsp of apple cider vinegar and mix in a half tsp of cayenne powder.  Dab the mixture onto your scalp 1 hour before shampooing.  Warning – It can sting your eyes so keep the solution and your fingers away from them! Very promising results!
