It is used extensively in France and Germany to treat prostate disorders in men. Its origins date back to Native Americans who used it for stomachache and dysentery. Today it is the only herbal ingredient approved to treat thin hair and balding. Research studies show that saw palmetto is one of the best natural thin hair treatments against hormone drive male pattern baldness and works by lowering levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT); the hormone though to be the cause. Saw palmetto is taken orally and usually combined with other natural ingredients such as pumpkin oil and biotin to enhance its effectiveness. Both male and female pattern balding are a major concern for many people. It is thought to be responsible for nine out of ten cases of balding and thinning hair in men and one out of four or five in women. The drug most often used to treat this condition topically is minoxidil (Rogaine). It is widely available, generally considered affordable, and works well when protecting existing hair is the goal. Studies show it has an over ninety percent success rate when asked to slow the progression of male pattern baldness. On the other hand, when the goal is to re-grow hair to cover that newly formed bald spot results were a bit disappointing, with new healthy growth occurring about twenty percent of the time.

These specially formulated treatments can be used both as a preventative tool, starting before hair loss becomes severe, or after loss of hair has become noticeable. Whatever the level of balding or thinning you are experiencing these products could be just what is needed to overcome this latest life challenge.
