Hair Loss and Essential Oils

Hair care is important to everyone no matter their age or ethnicity. There are probably hundreds of thousands of remedies for treating hair loss. Depending on hair type, texture, scalp condition and heredity not all treatments work for everyone, but there is one that has proven effective for many.

These oils are highly concentrated and have been removed from the leaves, stems, flowers or roots of plants.

You have probably heard of or read about the use of Essential Oils for help with relaxation, meditation, immunity against diseases, but what about treating baldness, thinning hair, dry hair and scalp or dandruff?

Both men and women complain of these conditions.

There are approximately 400 essential oils. Lavender, Basil, Hyssop, Jasmine, and Thyme are a few. Because they are highly concentrated essential oils, they are often diluted with a vegetable oil made from the seeds of kernels or almonds, peanuts and sesame etc. before applying to the skin or scalp.

To treat hair loss, dry scalp or dandruff, mix 3-4 drops of each of these 4 essential oils, rosemary, thyme, cedarwood, lavender and a teaspoon of grapeseed oil and jojoba oil in a bowl. Next, blend the oils and massage into scalp for two to four minutes before sleep. Wrap head in warm towel or scarf and leave on overnight. Wash hair with a mild or natural shampoo to prevent dryness of the hair and or scalp. Treatment can be applied nightly or a few times per week.

Massaging will soften and condition the scalp increasing blood circulation to the head and relax the scalp allowing the oils to be absorbed. The oils will lubricate the scalp preventing flakes and dry scalp.

Essential Oils are a natural and effective treatment for hair loss.

TIP – For a warm soothing massage heat the blended oils by placing container inside a bowl of warm water.
