Centuries-old Mediterranean secret an herbal alternative for hair restoration
No matter how many times you’ve seen yourself in the mirror…
Your reflection can still be SHOCKING.
You might NEVER get used to that receded hairline… the thinning patches… or the bald spots that have emerged as you’ve gotten older.
And you might not HAVE to get used to your hair loss – because there could be a way to SLAM THE BRAKES on it.
You might even be able to REVERSE it!
The key could be an ancient symbol of remembrance…
One that could help RESTORE lost hair… so it’s more than just a faded MEMORY!
Even though it may look like a tiny evergreen tree, you may be surprised to know that this sacred Mediterranean treasure is actually closely related to members of the mint family (like oregano and sage).
You’ve read before right here in eAlert how rosemary can help ease pain associated with headaches and arthritis… and even help boost brainpower…
But there’s something ELSE this culinary herb can do – something you might’ve NEVER heard about before.
It could help your hair grow back!
Now, this may sound like a “wives’ tale”… or just a “folk cure”…
But there’s SOLID evidence backing up why Mediterranean cultures have been rinsing their hair in rosemary oil for HUNDREDS of years.
First off, it contains the vasodilating antioxidants carnosic acid and rosmarinic acid – and widening blood vessels helps STIMULATE blood circulation in the scalp, which can help promote hair growth.
But that’s not all.
Rosemary oil also helps REJUVENATE nerve endings in the scalp…
And, according to animal research, can help keep levels of the hormone DHT from getting too high.
That second one is really important, as hair follicles tend to SHRINK in response to high levels of DHT.
And SHRUNKEN follicles produce LESS hair!
DHT levels also tend to RISE in both older guys and gals.
But here’s the science you’ll REALLY want to pay attention to…
In a 2015 clinical trial on real people, rosemary oil went head-to-head against the pharmaceutical “hair restoration” drug minoxidil (also a vasodilator)…
And it turns out they BOTH helped significantly regrow lost hair at the 6-month mark… and in EQUAL amounts!
Now, essential oils are notoriously POWERFUL – so to avoid irritation, you’ll want to combine rosemary oil with a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba.
Perform a patch test first to make sure you don’t have any particular sensitivities or allergies. If it seems OK, you can apply this diluted oil mixture directly on your scalp by massaging it in.
In fact, in just the right amount, rosemary oil has shown in studies to help RELIEVE scalp irritation!
Another option is to add a few drops of rosemary oil to your existing shampoo or conditioner or to purchase a rosemary-based hair product from a quality brand. Check with the Environmental Working Group’s online database to make sure the rest of the ingredients they’ve included are up to snuff.
Be VERY careful when lathering up under the shower head. If you get even just a little bit of rosemary oil in your eyes… you’ll IMMEDIATELY regret it!
Hair today, not gone tomorrow,
