Turmeric for Hair Loss http://turmerichealthbenefits.org
One of turmeric’s biggest health benefits is being able to help with hair growth. It has long been used in India (where it is known as haldi) to reduce the appearance of facial hair. It is usually mixed in the powder form with wheat flour and milk (soy milk is best). The paste is then applied to the skin. The paste will dry quickly, remove it after 5 minutes and wash face well, if you see a yellow stain wash with milk which helps to remove the staining better than water. For best results remove with cotton buds and milk. Applying turmeric this way is also good for the skin. It will feel softer and smoother. This is not a quick fix however, persistence is needed to see results. It is common in India for women to use it all over the body in this paste form as it reduces hair growth and also reduces scars and acne. It makes skin look and feel much better in general too (once you remove the initial yellow stain).
Can Turmeric help with hair loss? Studies are few and far between but it seems that turmeric is used to treat hair loss. It is taken orally instead of applied to the outside of the body. Turmeric doesn't absorb well into the blood stream so it is best to seek specialist products if you are interested in using turmeric to prevent hair loss. It can be consumed as a supplement, added to Asian food, or used as a drink in a spicy tea.
