Hair loss for women is a multi-dimensional problem. Not only is there the obvious stigma for a woman to have others see her prominent hair loss, but there is also a deep psychological trauma for women who lose their hair. Much of a woman’s self-perception can be wrapped up in how her hair looks. This can be especially true if the hair loss is sudden or drastic.

Fortunately there are quite a number of homeopathic remedies and treatments for this situation.

What Causes Hair Loss?

Most people are not aware that hair goes through two phases. The first is a growth phase, known as Anagen and the second is a resting phase known as Telogen. As women age, hormone changes make the resting phase longer and the growth phase far shorter. Things like stress, medications that change the immune system and emotional disturbances all contribute to hair loss.

Another cause of hair loss are nutritional concerns. Because the hair shaft is made up of proteins, a lack of them can cause the hair to thin. Biotin, Folic Acid and other vitamins and minerals can help supplement a diet that lacks protein to encourage hair growth.
