Alopecia Aromatherapy Recipe for Promoting Hair Growth

By Amy Cantwell

One of the first things a person is likely to notice about you is your hair and if you have a condition like alopecia, you just might rather hide behind a hat or scarf instead. Alopecia can stem from a multitude of things. There are many remedies to be found on the internet and even drugstores but you might want to try an alternative treatment such as the use of an alopecia aromatherapy recipe.

Hormone imbalances, lack of proper nutrition and hair care, and stress are all reasons for receding or loss of hair. If these symptoms don't point to alopecia, then you can usually treat them with aromatherapy oils. With this is mind, it makes sense then that an alopecia aromatherapy recipe would have a direct impact on your stress levels, any hormonal imbalance or malnutrition.

Lots of people believe in the healing powers of a real alopecia aromatherapy recipe because it's essential oils have properties that have been used for over a thousand years to cure some of the most common ailments. Because chamomile, clary sage, and ylang ylang can lower your stress levels, it's only natural that they can lower your hair loss, as well. Two of the more effective herbs used in an alopecia aromatherapy recipe are thyme and rosemary. They are soothing and usually work well, especially if the cause is hormone imbalance.

When it is time to mix up your alopecia aromatherapy recipe, you cannot use any essential oils directly onto your scalp. Instead, many essential oils must be mixed with a "carrier" oil that will dilute them, so they won't go directly on the skin. When combined with essential oils, coconut oil, almond oil and olive oil have amazing effects.

If you mix an alopecia aromatherapy recipe for alopecia in a squeeze bottle or spray container then it can also be used as the applicator. This will cause things to be less messy because you can apply the aromatherapy treatment directly onto your scalp. Besides, you have to be careful when mixing and applying the essential oil mixtures as it can stain clothing and certain surfaces.

Into your bottle of carrier oil, add five drops each of thyme, ylang, ylang, and rosemary essential oils. Use only 2 droplets of lavendar, thyme, chamomile, cedar wood and clay sage, and you will have all that is required for your alopecia aromatherapy recipe. The next step is to thoroughly mix the different essential oils together with the carrier oil and then test it on an inconspicuous spot on your skin to ensure no major breakouts occur.

All you need to do to kick start new hair growth with your alopecia aromatherapy recipe is massage a few drops onto your scalp so as to stimulate the hair roots. There are many essential oils available, so you should do some research to see how each one works and what the medicinal properties are. - 14130
