Essential Oils to Treat Hair Loss

The market is rife with hair loss products, ranging from natural, ayurvedic, naturopathic and allopathic products which claim to reverse all signs of hair loss and help you in promoting hair growth. The question is if these hair loss products actually do what they claim to do. Two natural products in the market include the ReGrow Scalp Massage Oil and the ReGrow Plus, which is a capsule that helps maintain hair strength by providing essential vitamins and minerals that are important for a healthy mane.

The ReGrow Scalp Massage Oil contains essential oils and trace elements which have been found to promote hair growth. Overall, the massage oil is said to work only if a wholly healthy attitude is developed such as eating healthy food, exercising, quitting smoking and alcohol and avoiding harsh chemical treatments such as straightening and curling hair. Doctors and hair loss experts anyway suggest incorporating a healthy lifestyle to promote hair growth but it is not known if the massage oil seeks to work based entirely on these changes. The main component of the ReGrow Scalp Massage Oil is avocado oil, which is recommended for its nutritional value. In addition to avocado oil, the massage oil also contains vitamin E and other nutrients.

The essential oils that constitute this hair loss product include chamomile, rosemary, and sage. All of these increase blood flow to the scalp thereby, increasing the hair growth. A lot of chemotherapy patients support the use of this massage oil and have given the product five stars. Priced at $50, the massage oil is enough to last a month. The massage oil must be massaged into the scalp for 10-15 minutes every day at night and washed off in the morning.

The oil must be applied sparingly since over application of the essential oils can cause superficial burns. You do not need to cover your hair to the tips, covering the scalp and the root is more important. Again, it is not clear if the essential oils alone are enough to promote hair regrowth or it is caused due to the everyday massage, which even a regular oil can achieve.

The manufacturers of these hair loss products, suggest using the product for at least three months in order to see a positive change. Because the product contains all natural ingredients it takes some time to push the hair follicles into action. The massage oil is sold with the ReGrow Plus, another hair loss product which provides essential minerals and vitamins to the body to help it recover lost nutrition and promote hair growth. The product is not recommended for pregnant women.

While the product is not FDA approved, patients who have used it successfully have benefited from the ReGrow massage oil. Apart from eliminating hair loss, the massage oil is also helpful in relieving stress and fatigue owing to the essential oils in the product. Some patients admit that the oil helps them with a restful sleep and they wake up feeling fresh in the morning.
