home remedies?

[mdrew]

I have found a couple home remedies for my (female) thinning hair and am wondering if they have any scientific merit:

According to Pakistan’s Daily Times, a hair loss treatment of honey, oil, and cinnamon is effective.
"Hair loss: Those suffering from hair loss or baldness, may apply a paste of hot olive oil, one tablespoon of honey, one teaspoon of cinnamon powder before a bath and keep it for approximately 15 minutes, and then wash the hair"

"A mixture of equal quantity of fresh amla juice and lime juice used as a shampoo stimulates hair growth and prevents hair loss"

I would love to hear your thoughts on these and other home remedies. Do you know of any that work the best for thinning hair?

Thank you

Sadly, I've never seen a single shred of proof that any alternative remedies like this work.

Try MSM 2- 4000 mg daily. It was the first thing that lessened my thinning internally.

Hi mdrew, the home remedy in question seems a bit weak, olive oil is very good for your scalp and when mixed with the right ingredients it can stop some types shedding. Both honey and cinnamon have anti-fungal and anti-microbial properties; this helps stop bacteria and fungus growth on the scalp. It also lightens your hair (the cinnamon mimics peroxide) but the hair shaft benefits more from the honey (moisture and detangling).

If your hair loss is because of fungus, you could get good results, it may take some time though.
