Hair Loss Preventing With Nettles

As an alternative treatment, nettles products are generally made from the roots and leaves. The herbal plant contains numerous substances, which assist in preventing hair loss and improve its appearance and growth (including vitamins C, B2, B6, histamine, chlorophyll, A and B).

Hair rinse:
  • 100 gm chopped nettle.
  • Half liter of boiling water.
  • Half liter 4 percent vinegar.
Pour the boiling water over chopped nettles, when cooled add the vinegar. The preparation, warmed and used daily for 10 days will visible improve the hair and scalp.

Young nettles can be incorporated into "detox" drinking either as a tea or cooked and eaten as spinach. To make tea, add 2 to 3 teaspoons dried leaf to a cup hot water, and allow to steep 10 to 15 minutes. Make young fresh leaves into a tasty soup or even favor an omelet. Nettle juice can be used as a substitute for rennet to make cheese.

Nettle fibers were used to weave cloth up until the late 18th century. Fabric from nettles makes strong, durable, self-dyed linen. Yellow and green dyes from nettles were once used in the making of Harris Tweed.

I have just finished 6 months of herbal shampooing treatment and whenever I reviewed my self in the mirror I was amazed at the results. The treatment definitely works and as long as you stick with the natural healing, the positive results will come. I have signed up iht9 for another 6 months.
