Hair health<\/strong> is a relentless mirror of hormonal<\/strong> and nutritional<\/strong> deficiencies<\/strong>. Hair loss and baldness are frequent complaints of patients, for both men and women. It is caused by a combination of nutritional and hormonal deficiencies. Let’s first review the hormones. Thyroid hormones<\/strong> are essential for the health of the hair. Hypothyroidism<\/strong> causes a diffuse hair loss and an alteration of the quality of the hair making them become thin and dry. Sex hormones<\/strong> play key roles for the hair as well. Estrogens<\/strong> help to thicken women\u2019s hair while\u00a0a deficiency in this hormone causes hair loss. Testosterone<\/strong> strengthens the hair of men. During testosterone treatment, it is necessary to block its transformation into dihydrotestosterone<\/strong>, because the latter is responsible for hair loss in men and women.<\/p>\n

What about the other hormones?<\/p>\n

Growth hormone<\/strong> and IGF 1<\/strong> also help to thicken the hair. Melatonin<\/strong> in local application is effective in reducing hair loss. Cortisol <\/strong>with an antimycotic topical solution can locally fight against stress-related plaque hair loss. An injection of ACTH<\/strong> can be helpful for total hair loss.<\/p>\n

Let’s move on to the nutritional<\/strong> aspect. Zinc<\/strong> and iron<\/strong> are essential trace elements<\/strong>, their deficiency can cause hair loss. Vitamins A, B7, C and D<\/strong> are also important for the good health of the hair. An oral treatment with borage oil<\/strong> (rich in omega 6 fatty acids) stimulates hair regrowth. The local application of a mixture of oil, rich in omega 6 also. The amino acids based on sulfur<\/strong> and MSM<\/strong> (methylsulfomethane) are the most useful for having beautiful hair.<\/p>\n

There are a lot of interesting and effective solutions available. With a comprehensive blood test, 24-hour urine test<\/strong> and a test of minerals and heavy metals<\/strong>, we can identify and correct hormonal and nutritional deficiencies. The results can be noticed after a few weeks for the nutritional treatment, it often takes a little more time for the hormonal treatments (because one uses almost physiological doses).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
