Reversing Hair Loss Naturally Through Detox
Cures for Thinning Hair & Alopecia Using Detoxification & Diet
Jul 18, 2008
Losing hair is distressing since it is the "crowning glory" that says much about one's personality, gender, health, virility, etc. Thankfully there are many types of hair loss that can be totally reversed using natural methods.
Types of Hair Loss
Hair loss can be in patches about the size of a large coin (Alopecia Areata), complete hair loss (Alopecia Totalis) or it can be hair thinning that affects the whole scalp.
Contributory Factors to Premature Hairloss
1. Long Term Stress
Long term stress is a common factor in hair loss. Long term stress undermines the way the body works by creating imbalances in the hormonal system. It is often important to make radical lifestyle changes in order to reduce stress levels so that the body can function correctly. Holistic therapies and counselling help to identify stress areas.
2. Poor Uptake of Nutrients caused by Dysbiosis
When absorption of nutrients is compromised the body cannot access enough of the correct building blocks for repair and maintenance. It will ration them so that the internal organs like the heart and liver will get most of the nutrients, leaving less for the skin and hair. For example, hair loss is often a sign of insufficient essential fats in the diet. When the gut is compromised by invasive yeasts the uptake of nutrients can be significantly lowered.
3. Poor nutrition
A poor diet also reduces the amount of essential nutrients that are available for repair and maintenance of the body. The body loses condition and we may experience poor healing as well as hair loss or hair thinning.
4. Yeast Overgrowth in the Digestive Tract
Many people have an intestinal yeast problem without knowing it. This gives rise to food intolerances and symptoms like bloating, gas and Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Intestingal Yeasts are a major cause of illness in the 20th century and give rise to a host of "modern diseases" that haven't been around before, e.g. the so called Type 2 Diebetes.
5. Toxicity
Many hair loss sufferers are also quite toxic. This can be caused by excessive medications or through an incorrect diet. Unfortunately many pre-prepared foods contain preservatives, sweeteners and other chemical additives. The air we breathe is often polluted with car emissions and other toxic substances. There comes a point where the body needs to be detoxified. This can be achieved through diet or through ionic foot detox.
Natural Cures for Hair Loss
The key to reversing hair loss is to tackle all of the contributory factors individually. Reducing stress levels could mean a change of job or attending to a relationship problem. One patient suffering from Alopecia Totalis had to learn to forgive her husband for a disastrous bankruptcy. After that she was able to heal.
Nutrition has to be brought higher up the list of priorities. This might entail including more salad meals and spending more time thinking about having a balanced diet. It could also mean taking a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement if the gut function is compromised. If you aren't eating oily fish then also consider taking a supplement as many people are deficient in these "essential fats".
Ridding the body of intestinal yeasts is often key to recovery. This is obtained by using probiotics in various forms – often it is best to use a good quality tablet or capsule form, especially if there is intolerance to yogurt and yogurt probiotic drinks.
Detoxifying the body through Ionic Food Detox during this process will speed up recovery.
