Stinging nettles have been a home remedy for hair loss for a long time. They can be ground into tea and consumed without fear of nasty side effects. If you are unfamiliar with stinging nettles then it is worth noting that you should not be touching them yourself! Along every single stinging nettle is a line of little hairs that will cause rashes and discomfort. It is not a nice sensation, and you will thank yourself for not diving into them.
What Do They Offer?
The main thing that stinging nettles do is reduce DHT in men and women. DHT is a nasty hormone that when it builds up in excess, attacks and kills hair follicles. Stinging nettles are enough to prevent hair loss due to DHT and even regrow hair that has been lost due to DHT.
How you take stinging nettles is almost irrelevant, they will have the same effect on your body and its metabolism. This means that if you take them topically, in your tea, or as a supplement you will see the same effect.
It Takes Time
The good effect of stinging nettle root extract is not an immediate thing. Like all good things in life it does not crash into your body and devastate things in its wake as it fixes a few things for you. Instead it gradually shifts your body chemistry into a healthier state and reduces and prevents hair loss over time. In the long term it will even reverse hair loss and allow your head to grow back the hair that it has lost through long term exposure to excessive DHT.
There are other changes to your lifestyle that you can make too that will also assist you such as a change in your diet. Stinging nettle root extract is one step in the right direction that will do you a lot of good. A broader shift in your habits and lifestyle can lead to larger changes overall in your hair’s health and regrowth.
