Question:
I am interested in knowing if holistic medicine or alternative medicine will help with hair loss to stimulate those follicles to come back on out...my hair is extremely shedding (to the point my hair appears thin when it is actualy thick), there are a lot of herbs envolved with alternative medicine, so will it help to stimulate hair growth and stop shedding? Please let me kow if you have any real life stories envolving this or whatever you think will help. My hair has thinned out on the top to the point I can see my scalp it's not completely gone but as you can see it's not good and all my dr says is it's normal, blah, blah, so now I'm looking into alternative medicine...I have made an appointment, how long should i try this to see results...I have tried to google this and pics pertaining to it with no luck...please help me. I'm 24 and the pharmacist said I'm too young for this...but what will work? My grandmothers both have thick hair all over .
