Hair Restorers and Natural Treatments for Hair Loss

Hair Restorers – a Case for Suitable Treatment?

I have been asked countless times whether it is wise to use the many so-called hair restorers, some of which are only available on prescription from a doctor, and others that can be bought over the counter at your local chemist.

My personal view is that it is best to leave such things well alone.  Although my own hopes have been raised every time a ‘new discovery’ has come on the market, I have yet to find anything better than the treatments available here from Eucaderm.

One of the recent products to come on the market is Minoxidil.  Minoxidil was discovered in the USA and during its use as a cardio-vascular drug it was found that it caused patients to grow unwanted hair.  This led the manufacturers to think of using it as a topical lotion.  It is an expensive treatment that may now be purchased over the counter.  It can work in certain cases, if the hair loss problem is caught early enough and if the patient is young enough when they start the treatment.  The lotion needs to be applied for up to a year before results can be seen and even then the hair growth will stop as soon as the treatment is discontinued.

Some Trichologists and chemists now believe that Minoxidil has been over-sensationalised and has give some hair loss sufferers false hope.  In my own experience, I have found little to recommend about the lotion and many of my patients have found that massages after using the Eucaderm Hair and Scalp Stimulator and cold water Treatment has proven equally, if not more effective, and has been much less costly.

I have mentioned Minoxidil because it is probably the best known of the hair loss treatments available, but there are others that make similar claims and that are more or less expensive than Minoxidil.

My own preference is for the Natural Treatments…

Eucaderm Hair and Scalp Home Treatment

There is no doubt in my mind that pure, natural products can be more effective in the treatment of hair loss and scalp problems than synthetic chemical formulas and I have developed my Eucaderm Hair and Scalp Home Treatment Packs with this in mind.

During my research, I have discovered that the careful blend of various essential oils in combination with natural products such as camphor, witch hazel and camomile will produce creams, lotions and shampoos that prove extremely successful (please see details here) **

Home Care Pack No1Two of the main ingredients of Hair and Scalp Home Treatment Pack No 1 are lemon oil and camphor.  It is used to recondition chemically over-treated hair, for general reconditioning and for the treatment of light dandruff conditions.

 

Home Care Pack No2Hair and Scalp Home Treatment Pack No 2 contains orange oil and witch hazel and is a complex formula designed to help hair loss and greasy scalp problems.  It will remove grease gently without stripping the natural oil out of the hair.

 

Home Care Pack No3Hair and Scalp Home Treatment Pack No 3, combining among other ingredients eucalyptus oil and camomile, is used in the control of heavy scaling, psoriasis and eczema.

 

All three packs consist of a lotion, a cream, a medicated anionic shampoo, a cationic conditioner and a vitamin nutritional supplement.  I have gained excellent results in my clinic by using these products and by suggesting ways – such as massage and the hot and cold water treatment – in which people who suffer from premature hair loss and scalp problems, can help themselves in their own homes.

In treating hair loss, it should be realised that a change in the hair growth pattern will not be seen for some time.  New hair growth will take ten weeks to show even if the treatment has an immediate effect.  However, while you are waiting, you will see an immediate improvement in the condition of your existing hair and feel reassured that something good is indeed happening.

Stress – and Why does this Affect our Hair and Scalp?

I guess every one of us will suffer from stress at some point in our lives.  But the big question is:  Why should Stress affect your Hair and Scalp?

In a nutshell, stress promotes subum flow, which can make dandruff worse, can increase hairloss, and it affects everybody all the time.  Just living in a society that demands so much of us, and asks us to conform to a way of life that is often unhealthy, is stressful.

This is not a new phenomenon; our ancestors were under stress too.  They had to cope with the shortage of resources, hunger, hostility, even the odd attack from a sabre tooth tiger!   In our development as human beings we have evolved many ways of dealing with problems, but if stress is continuous or accumulative it can lead to a situation in which our physical and emotional health is endangered, and which in turn can lead to hair and scalp disorders.

Remember, your hair is an important barometer of what is going on in your body, and you must take notice of it.

A Miracle Cure for Alopecia?

Recent statistics show that over eight million men in Britain are suffering from premature hair loss.  At the same time doctors, dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons in both Britain and America are seeing an increasing number of women with thinning hair and bald patches.  Already another two percent of the population is suffering from Psoriasis and other allied scalp conditions and their numbers are increasing as well.

Statistics suggest that the build-up of Stress, Nutritional Deficiencies, Environmental Pollution and the use of Chemical Treatments, such as hair tints and perming lotions, as well as basic genetics, all play a big part in the cause of these problems.

Got a Hair or Scalp Problem and Need Some Expert Advice?

Here at Eucaderm we have a saying:  Seeing is Believing

There are many different diseases of the scalp, and it’s important to understand the causes, before you can apply any treatments.

To show the kind of success that can be achieved – in a totally natural way – I am going to relate the experiences of a few of my patients.

You will notice that I mention the use of Hair and Scalp Care Packs, and you will find more information about these in the Eucaderm Shop.

I also talk about individual treatments which were undertaken at the Eucaderm Clinic and which can now be made available to everyone reading this article.  The suggestions I make can all be applied at home and in time the results can be equally effective.

There are many people who claim to be able to alleviate hair problems, but the ones I find most alarming are the ‘hair specialists’ who use ‘frightener tactics’ to extract vast sums of money from their clients.  They are the ones who use endless, confusing jargon, but who commit themselves to nothing.

Here are some of Eucaderm’s Case Histories…

Michelle
Michelle came to see me after seeing one of these ‘specialists’ when she realised her hair was falling out.  She was told she wouldn’t be charged for the consultation, and was seen in a hotel room which had been rented for the day as an examination room.
She was eighteen years old, in good health, had no blood pressure problems and wasn’t taking any medication.  Although she had no scaling or irritation and her hair only came out when she washed it, it was very dry.
The specialist blamed her perm, which Michelle thought strange as her hair was naturally curly and she hadn’t had a perm.  He showed her pictures of bald women and told her that was how she would look in a few weeks time if she didn’t undergo his treatment
Understandably, she became very upset and when she was totally in despair, he told her not to worry and that the bill for the treatment (which she would have to administer herself at home) would be only four hundred and eighty-three pounds. Michelle paid the money and left the hotel in tears…. read more

Darren
Darren is a musician.  When he contacted me he was very concerned about the loss of his hair, particularly in the frontal region.  He was only eighteen and obviously anxious not to go completely bald.
At our first consultation he told me he had been to various hair treatment centres in London, and paid vast sums of money for special lotions that he had been using for a considerable time.
He had been attending one particular centre on a regular weekly basis and the combined cost of treatment, travel and time off work had forced him to begin selling his musical instruments.  When the course of treatment ran out and he was presented with yet another huge bill, a friend advised him to come to my Eucaderm Clinic… read more

Ann
Ann went through a very traumatic time when her husband suffered a heart attack.  He was off work for four months and is now fit again and back at work.  However the shock affected Ann so badly that she began to lose her hair and within six weeks had to resort to wearing a wig.
Obviously she found this very depressing.  But then she remembered reading an article in the local paper about my Hair Research Clinic in Eastbourne and decided to make an appointment…  read more

Trevor
When Trevor came to see me, he had a particularly severe case of Neuro-dermatitis.  His scalp was highly inflamed and very scaly and the condition spread down below the collar line.
Although he had tried many different treatments without success…  read more

+++++++

Carole
Carole came to me having had a thyroid operation that had not been very successful.  Her thyroid had become under-active and she was prescribed Thyroxin.  This resulted in her hair becoming very weak, limp and lifeless, and dropping out at an alarming rate.  Her scalp became scaly and she was deeply distressed.
This was a very awkward case because I knew that while her thyroid was under-active and she was taking Thyroxin, treatment would be very difficult… read more

Suzanne
One of the biggest successes of the Eucaderm Hair and Scalp Care Packs is in the treatment of Pityriasis Amientacea.
Suzanne came to see me with the most severe case of this condition.  Both the left and right sides of her scalp were thickly coated in the asbestos-like scale, which builds up along the hairs, encasing them tightly against the scalp.  The scales hang from the hair and feel like rough plaster to the touch… read more

What is Alopecia and How to Treat It

Alopecia is a very distressing condition that can cause widening patches of baldness but which is sometimes only temporary.

What causes Alopecia?

Many factors – including illness, pregnancy, trauma, thyroid problems, diabetes, anaemia, crash dieting, and the use of steroids and chemotherapy can cause it.

Little appears to be known about alopecia even though many clinical studies and trials around the world are taking place.  Much has been written about the various causes and treatments for the disease.  It is generally accepted that alopecia is an autoimmune disease.

Hair is a bi-product of blood and so, it is important to address the haematological aspect of treatment as well as the dermatological.  The two key areas that need addressing   Continue reading

What is Dermatitis and How Can You Treat it?

The Simple Definition of Dermatitis is Inflammation of the Skin.

Many people think of dermatitis as synonymous with eczema but this is actually not true. Almost any rash can be thought of as a dermatitis based on this definition – including psoriasis, seborrhoea, or even skin cancer. Not every rash appearing on the scalp is dermatitis.

I have come across many different types, and causes of dermatitis during my time working with hair and scalp problems…  Continue reading

Hair Loss Problems, and Natural Treatments

Over the years there have been many different approaches to the treatment of scalp disorders. However I have felt for some time that there needed to be a new approach for treating hair and scalp problems; one that can give realistic hope to those sufferers of Alopecia and other scalp diseases; revolutionise the way hair care is understood, and solve many of the existing hair and scalp problems. It’s essential for the sufferer to obtain  effective and practical advice, combined with much needed psychological support.

Extensive research has been carried out to find out exactly what causes the hair and scalp problems that are becoming more and more apparent in today’s modern life. The results of this research have actually changed the way we approach hair and scalp care.

Here are some tips everyone can use to help prevent hair loss and thinning hair:   Continue reading
