Can homeopathy block DHT?

International clinical studies have corroborated the fact that homeopathic remedies such as Thuja Occidentalis and Sabal Serrulata have the ability to act as natural DHT-inhibitors and, thus, control, stop, or reverse hair loss effectively. There are other, equally useful 'hair-remedying' homeopathic medicines.

Homeopathy treats hair loss safely

Losing hair is no joke. It can sometimes be a serious sign. Hair loss in certain individuals is suggested to reflect an underlying, or waiting-to-happen, illness. Studies suggest that hair starts thinning five or six weeks before diabetes mellitus is detected. Likewise, hair loss can imply a three-fold increased risk of heart disease, especially in men. Hair loss is more than what meets the scalp. There are about 40 different types of hair loss. Statistics suggests that approximately 45 million men and 20 million women are affected by the problem. Studies also indicate that there has been a 250% increase in hair loss cases during the last five years — the age-group most affected being 16-25. The most common type of hair loss is androgenetic alopecia, or male pattern baldness, that worsens with age. Triggers for the condition are hormonal imbalance — dihydrotestosterone (DHT) — body-building steroids, prostatic problems, diabetes, high blood pressure, besides stress-related or emotional issues and scalp disorders. The typical presentation is a receding hairline with 'baldness' on the crown. There’s no need to push the panic button on your scalp. Hair loss is treatable; also preventable with timely homeopathic hair fall treatment. Homeopathy treats hair loss from the root — not just on the surface — safely. It treats the likely cause of the problem, taking into account the individual’s unique nature, temperament, sensitivities and also sensibilities. For example, hair loss in a business executive who is dominant, finds sweets irresistible, but has an extremely poor appetite, because he feels 'full' too quickly, can be effectively treated with Lycopodium Clavatum. Acid Phosphoricum is, likewise, useful in hair loss after prolonged mental or emotional grief. Phosphorus is effective in the 'falling off' of hair in bunches — along with dandruff —while combing. International clinical studies have corroborated the fact that homeopathic remedies such as Thuja Occidentalis and Sabal Serrulata have the ability to act as natural DHT-inhibitors and, thus, control, stop, or reverse hair loss effectively. There are other, equally useful 'hair-remedying' homeopathic medicines. However, it must be emphasised that the best hair fall treatment outcomes can emerge in a clinic consultation with a professional homeopathic physician trained in trichology — the scientific study of hair and scalp.

Does turmeric improve brain function?

A small clinical study shows that taking a specific curcumin branded ingredient (Theracurmin) 90 mg by mouth twice daily for 18 months improves memory and attention in healthy, older adults. The study also shows that taking curcumin might prevent the buildup of amyloid in certain parts of the brain.

Does turmeric improve memory?

Turmeric is an increasingly popular supplement. It is often used for pain and inflammation in people with arthritis. New data shows that it also might improve memory. A small clinical study shows that taking a specific curcumin branded ingredient (Theracurmin) 90 mg by mouth twice daily for 18 months improves memory and attention in healthy, older adults. The study also shows that taking curcumin might prevent the buildup of amyloid in certain parts of the brain. The buildup of amyloid in the brain is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. While this new study is getting a lot of media attention, it’s still too soon to know if it can really help memory in people with Alzheimer’s disease. Some of the patients in this recent study had age-related memory problems, but none of these patients had Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. Also, the improvements seen in this recent study might not apply to all curcumin or turmeric products. An earlier study showed that taking 1-4 grams of a different curcumin product daily does not improve mental function in Alzheimer’s patients. But it’s possible that this other product was not absorbed in large enough amounts to have an effect. Although the recent results are promising and warrant additional research, it's still too soon to recommend curcumin or turmeric for improving memory and mental function.
