For a few years now, I have directed part of my treatment schemes to the natural area; and as hair follicle strengtheners, on the scalp, as well as strengthening the hair itself, I have always indicated Nettle and Rosemary in combination; because they have the specific antioxidants and corresponding phytochemicals to create an adaptive and regenerative process that provide excellent hair growth.
This is not a new treatment. For many years in America our indigenous people and inhabitants before the Spanish arrival, here in America, used it and recommended it together with other plants such as Maca and Cat's Claw, and also Wild Yam.
Subsequently, with scientific studies we have been able to understand that our ancestors used stimulants of hormonal secretion, both male and female, as well as strengtheners of the immune system, to prevent hair loss and so that the scalp was always strong and nourished.
Both adaptogens that stimulate the hormonal function as rosemary and nettle, specifically as strengtheners of the hair follicle that is where the hair grows, are used today in a modern way as a way to assist in the overall treatment of hair loss or thinning hair.
As we can see, there is still a lot to learn about natural medicine, as we have focused on traditional medicine only.
I, as a physician, can testify to the number of people who have strengthened their scalp, but also adapted their metabolic systems, thanks to the consumption of adaptogens and other plants.
Nowadays getting rosemary and nettle for hair is very easy; they are already available in baturist stores and pharmacies as topical preparations and shampoo for hair; and also, we can prepare them ourselves by boiling the same portion of Nettle and Rosemary in a pot for a few minutes; we let it rest and then apply that water as if it were a mask for a few hours, once or twice a week.
