Men with hair loss turn to trichoanalysis
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
A new homeopathic strategy for combating hair loss is trichoanalysis, which consists of an evaluation of the patient's scalp and hair, followed by personalized treatments.
Mihir Bhatia is a typical example of thousands of young men across the globe who go bald every year.
In fact, according to recent statistics, a major section of the adult male population globally suffers from the typical male pattern baldness.
The latest scientific research reveals that the male hormone, testosterone, is converted to another male hormone, 5-DHT, in the hair follicles.
Over the years, physicians have tried to find a cure for this problem.
In fact, men have been attempting to treat their hair loss for over 5000 years, beginning perhaps with a compendium of medical knowledge dating back to approximately 3500 BC that included prescriptions for hair loss treatment.
This list of treatments was passed on from generation to generation.
"Individuals who have excess pitta in the sebaceous gland, at the root of the hair, or folliculitis can start losing hair," he says.
Hair loss is treated in Ayurveda with a combination of diet, herbs, oil massage, meditation, aromatherapy, breathing and yoga.
Around 30-50 per cent of males in the age group of 30-50 years are affected by male pattern of baldness that is mostly caused due to factors like heredity, skin disorder of scalp, stress and illness," says the spokesperson for Batra clinic.
The latest buzzword in this hair care scenario is Trichoanalysis, which helps to determine three important technical fundamental parameters of the hair and the condition of the scalp.
During hair transplantation, a strip of hair filled with follicular units is removed from the back of the scalp and then placed where it is balding.
Cosmetic surgeon Sawant Sawhney points out that obsession with hair is so great among the males that most of them are willing to shell out exorbitant sums to find a cure.
