The problem begins when new hair does not grow fast enough to replace the normal daily loss caused by the body's fluctuating rhythms and hormone levels. As the thinning process continues, new growth stops altogether in certain parts of the scalp.

Most permanent baldness is due to a common hereditary condition sometimes combined with other factors such as stress, poor diet or poor circulation that affects men more than women. Thinning usually begins at the temples and crown, and can start as early as the teens, although it is generally most noticeable in middle age. Hair loss is often slow and all the hair is seldom lost. Women are rarely as severely affected, and usually not until after the menopause.

Temporary baldness or loss of hair can be caused by anemia, a deficiency of the thyroid hormone, scalp infection, illness, pregnancy, or drugs such as the contraceptive pill, steroids or antibiotics. People between ages 12 and 40 can occasionally develop bald patches for no apparent reason, but usually their hair grows back after six to 12 months.

What the Natural Doctor Recommends

Self Help: To improve your general health, try a whole food diet rich in protein foods such as pulses, fish, lean meat, eggs, cheese and nuts. A cup of fresh lettuce juice every day may also help.

The naturopath doctor will give advice about diet, coping with stress and learning to relax. They will tell you about hair care and recommend the best products for you; supplements prescribed may be brewer's yeast, vitamin B complex, or multi-minerals, for example. To improve your circulation you will be advised to take regular outdoor exercise and not to smoke.
