A study conducted on aromatherapy

There was a study based on aromatherapy which focused on using oils as a hair loss treatment in Dubai.  In the study 80 patients suffering from alopecia areata were used as main subjects. They only used oils and stopped all other topical treatments and oral pills for hair loss.  This study lasted for about 7 months. Half of the patients used following concoction for treating hair loss.

·        2 drops of Cerdar wood oil

·        3 drops of lavender oil

·        3 drops of rosemary oil

·        2 drops of thyme oil

·        ½ teaspoon of jojoba oil

·        4 teaspoons of grapeseed oil

The other half of the patients didn’t use any essential oils rather focused only on carrier oils. The used following concoction:

·        1 teaspoon of jojoba oil

·        5 teaspoons of grapeseed oil

Patients were advised to massage their scalp for about twenty minutes and follow with a warm towel wrap around their head.  This method was to be followed daily. 

Results of a natural hair loss treatment in Dubai

To record the results, photographs were taken at the beginning, then after three months and then after six months. Moreover bald bathes were also measured in order to determine the results accurately.

The group using essential oils showed remarkable results. About 50 percent of the people in that group stopped hair fall completely and also saw hair growth.  While in the group which used only carrier oils, only 15 percent of people reported reduction in hair fall. But, the texture of hair improved equally in both the groups.

These results show that aromatherapy can be used as a safe hair loss treatment which has no side effects. But it is important to notice that when it comes to natural hair therapies, no one solution fits all. May be you are at the stage of hair fall that natural remedies won’t work for you at all. In such case, it is important to visit a hair specialist to determine the root cause and find a suitable solution for it.
