Hairloss:Thyme-Lavender-Rosemary-Cedarwood-Grapeseed-Jojaba Oil

The results of one research study suggest that the essential oils of

thyme, rosemary, lavender, and cedarwood mixed with an oil andapplied on the areas of hair loss may stimulate hair growth. This doubleblind, placebo-controlled study enrolled 84 people who who massagedeither these essential oils or a non-treatment oil into their scalps eachnight for seven months. Results showed that 44% of people in thetreatment group had new hair growth compared to only 15% in thecontrol group.

Treatments for Hair Loss- rosemary, essential fatty acids, zinc

Heads Up!

By Bonnie Jenkins, Advanced Natural Medicine Bulletin

Back in the days when I was a smart-aleck kid, I used to tease my dad relentlessly about his horseshoe

haircut. Fortunately, he was a good sport about it. But many men are less jovial about their hair loss andtheyll try practically anything to reverse the fallout.

If youve noticed your hair isnt as thick as it once was, youre not alone: By age 50, more than half ofCaucasian men will have some degree of balding. And about 40 percent of women will be affected by the

time they settle into their 70s. Aside from surgical plugs or dubious drugs, can herbs or nutrition help you

hang on to your hair?

Bad Hair Days

Theres no getting away from it. Every time you look in the mirror, you see that receding hairline. Each day,

theres more hair left in your hair brush or clogging the shower drain. But, while you can see whats

happening on the outside, its also important to understand how hair loss begins inside your scalp.

Hair is produced by follicles, tiny bulb-shaped appendages embedded in your scalp. Most of these mini-

factories are busily sprouting hair, but at any given time about 10 to 15 percent of them are resting. Aresting follicle sheds its hair after a few months, then it starts production again. Normally, all of us shed

about 50 to 100 of the more than 100,000 hairs on your head each day. But problems begin when too manyfollicles enter this rest phase permanently or are damaged or killed. When this happens, your rate ofreplacement may not keep up, eventually causing your hair to thin out visibly. This excessive hair loss is

called alopecia.

The most common type of alopecia happens gradually over several years. Known as androgenetic alopecia,this type of hair loss results in a receding hairline or a balding crown. Susceptibility in men likely is linked to

genetics and to conversion of the male hormone testosterone to DHT (dihydrotestosterone). DHT can forcetoo many follicles into early retirement. In women, hormonal changes arising from menopause, aging and

thyroid sluggishness might be at play. Many drugs, including beta blockers, anti-cholesterol medications andblood thinners, also can aggravate hair loss.

Another, less common type of alopecia, called alopecia areata, shows up as patchy areas that appear within

weeks or months of an illness or allergic reaction. Common triggers include chemotherapy, advancedinfections, severe allergies, autoimmune flare-ups and acute emotional stress. Remove the acute trigger, andhair usually grows back eventually with good nutrition.

Boost Your Antioxidants

Theres been a lot of focus lately on a family of flavonoids known as procyanidins antioxidants that arepresent in many plants like apples, barley, grape seeds, cocoa, blueberries, green tea and rosehips.

Japanese researchers have discovered that procyanidins help hair regrow in some balding men. Working withan apple procyanidin, the Japanese double-blind trial found that a twice-daily topical application of a 0.7

percent solution increased new hair production, whereas the untreated men continued to lose hair. After sixmonths, the men receiving the treatment sprouted about three new hairs per square centimeter of treatedscalp. While that might not sound like much, it adds up for better overall coverage.

Because procyanidins (also called oligomeric proanthocyanidins or OPC) are antioxidants, they neutralizedamaging free radicals that can cause inflammation and damage hair follicles. Better yet, they block theproduction of DHT. Those inhibitors bind to hair follicles, redirecting them from active growth to rest. So far,

the research has focused on men, but procyanidins might help some women whose alopecia is linked to anestrogen-testosterone imbalance.

Getting these hair-friendly antioxidants is easy. You can take 100 mg. of an OPC supplement like grapeseedextract or pycnogenol. For even more hair protection, consume more OPC-rich fruits and beverages likecranberry, black currant, green tea, black tea and red wine. On the flip side, certain foods may exacerbate

hair loss. Saturated fats, for example, are pro-inflammatory, so youd be wise to bypass the burgers andfries. For some people, allergies to dairy or animal products cause inflammation and hair loss.

Topical Stimulation

Rosemary has been used for centuries to treat hair loss and is widely recommended by natural-health

practitioners for stimulating hair growth. According to the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology,rosemary applied topically can promote new cell growth in the scalp, at least in part by curbing the buildup of

scalp oil (sebum), which can plug hair follicles.

Rosemary also contains an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound called rosmarinic acid. This major

constituent reduces the production of leukotriene B4, an inflammatory chemical produced in the body andwhose action might injure the follicle and contribute to excessive hair loss. Rosmarinic acid is also anantiviral and antibiotic, and helps disinfect the scalp. It is well absorbed from the skin or gastrointestinal

tract, so even sipping a cup of rosemary tea might indirectly benefit your hair.

Preliminary research shows that rosemary might even help replenish bald patches. A double-blind study donein Scotland with sufferers of alopecia areata reported that a blend of rosemary and other essential oils

accelerated hair regrowth. One group of patients had a daily scalp massage with the essential oils of

rosemary, thyme, lavender and cedar in a carrier mixture of jojoba and grapeseed oils, while a second groupused only the carrier oils. Two dermatologists then evaluated hair re-growth after seven months. Forty-fourpercent of those receiving the essential oils improved visibly compared to only 15 percent of the other group.

To use rosemary or other essential oils, add 3 to 4 drops to a tablespoon of a light-textured oil like jojoba,

grapeseed or almond oil. Massage gently into the scalp, moving the skin over the bone rather than draggingyour fingers across hair roots; leave in for about an hour, then wash hair as usual. Or add a few drops of

essential oil (without carrier oil) to your shampoo.

Feed Your Scalp

Hair follicles need food and oxygen to do their job. To ensure youre getting enough of the right nutrients for

healthy hair, make sure you include the following in your diet:

Essential fatty acidsoxygenate cell tissues, reduce inflammation and transport fat-soluble vitamins A, D, Eand K to hair follicles. Unfortunately, omega-3 fatty acids often are lacking in our diets. The best sources areflaxseeds, flaxseed oil or cold-water fish such as salmon. Other good sources are avocados, nuts and nut oils.

Zinc supports protein synthesis. Deficiencies of the mineral are typical in Western diets, which can alsocontribute to celiac disease and other inflammatory conditions that aggravate hair loss. Get zinc from oysters

(the richest source) and other shellfish, lean red meats, skinless poultry or lowfat cheese. Or supplementwith 30 mg a day.

Silicic acid(silica) helps maintain the integrity of blood vessel walls for good circulation. Superior sourcesare unrefined oats and other whole-grain cereals.

One Last Thing . . .

Most people know saw palmetto for its ability to treat prostate enlargement. But it may also help stem hair

loss, thanks to its ability to disrupt the formation of DHT. Preliminary studies have shown that saw palmettois just as effective as the prescription finasteride for hair loss.

The men were given either 200 mg. of saw palmetto and 50 mg. of beta-sitosterol twice a day or a matchingplacebo for 14 weeks. The patients were then asked to evaluate any changes in their hair. Assessments were

also performed at baseline and at the studys completion. Sixty percent of the subjects were rated asimproved at the final visit.

If youd like to give saw palmetto a try, most herbalists recommend taking 160 mg. twice a day. Look for a

standardized supplement containing 85 to 95 percent sterols and lipids.

This Just In . . .

Got inflammation? That might depend on what youre eating, say Greek researchers after they found that adiet rich in choline and betaine is linked to markers of inflammation. The researchers looked at 3,042 menand women, age 18 to 89, and found that those with the highest intakes of choline and betaine had the

lowest levels of inflammatory markers, including C-reactive protein, homocysteine, interleukin-6 and tumornecrosis factor.

Choline helps make neurotransmitters and fats in cell membranes, while betaine helps reduce homocysteinelevels. These findings suggest that both may be key to reducing inflammation, now considered a stepping

stone to heart disease and other chronic conditions. So where do you find this dynamic duo? Rich sources of

choline include eggs, wheat germ, pork, beef, cod, chicken, shrimp, salmon, oat bran, Brussels sprouts,broccoli and cauliflower. Betaine is highest in wheat bran, wheat germ, spinach, shrimp and beets.

Skin Section Through a Hair Shaft and Follicle

The follicle is an oblique tube that surrounds the root hair. The follicle always extends into the dermis andsometimes into the subcutaneous layer. There are two principal concentric layers of the cells of the follicle

walls. There is an outer connective tissue root sheath, which originates from the dermis. There is also aninner epithelial tissue root sheath, which originates from the epidermis.

There are also two parts to the epithelial tissue root sheath: an internal root sheath and an external rootsheath. Peripheral cells of the matrix produce the internal root sheath. This layer of cells is destroyed quicklyso it doesnt extend the full length of the follicle. The external root sheath generally contains the sameepidermal cells as the skin surface and extends between the skin surface and the hair matrix. However, all ofthe cells resemble those of the stratum basale where this sheath joins the hair matrix.

There are thin ribbons of smooth muscle, collectively known as the arrector pili muscle, that extend from thedermal papillae. Emotional states such as rage or fear, or exposure to cold temperatures stimulates thearrector pili, pulling on the follicles and elevating the hairs. Thus, goose bumps are produced.

Hair Type and Distribution

Hair anatomy.....Another name for a single hair is a pilus. Its shape is a slender filament, and is composed of

keratinized cells growing from follicles that extend deep into the dermis. They often project into the

underlying subcutaneous layer. Texture and pigmentation causes the primary differences in hair density.

There are three types produced during your life. These three kinds are called lanugo, vellus, and terminal.

Lanugo This is the fine, unpigmented , downy kind that first appears on the fetus in the last trimester ofdevelopment.

Vellus This is a similarly fine, unpigmented or lightly pigmented ind that replaces the lanugo at birth.

Terminal This is usually a coarser, pigmented, and longer kind than the vellus. It grows on the scalp,comprises the eyelashes and eyebrows. At puberty, terminal replaces vellus in the axillary, or underarmarea, and the pubic regions. The beard that forms on males is also terminal, as well as on the male arms,legs, and trunk.

Hair Color

The synthesis of melanin in the matrix adjacent to the papillae results in hair color. Genetically determined

differences in the structure of the melanin are what cause the different variations in color. Other factors that

influence color are environmental factors and hormonal factors. Pigment production decreases as you age.

This results in lighter color. When there is gradual reduction in melanin production with the follicle, gray hair

is the result. No pigment at all results in white color. Usually, color changes gradually.

Function of Hair

There are millions of hairs on the surface of your body. They have important functions.

Protection The scalp in protected from injury and sunburn by the ones on your head. The ones within thenostrils protect the respiratory system by preventing inhalation of large foreign particles. The external earcanal is protected from insects and foreign particles by the ones that are there. Eyelashes and eyebrowsprotect the eyes. The lashes protect the eye from particles and the brows from sweat running down the

forehead.

Facial Expression The eyebrows also function to enhance facial expression.

Heat retention- The ones on the head helps to prevent the loss of conducted heat from the scalp into thesurrounding air. People with a full head of hair lose far less heat then those who have lost theirs. The onlyplace where it is thick enough to retain heat is on the scalp.

Visual identification Hair characteristics are important in determining species, age, and sex as well asidentifying individuals.

Sensory reception- They have associated touch receptors or root plexuses that detect light touch.

Chemical signal dispersal They help disperse pheromones, which are chemical signals involved inattraction of the opposite sex and in sex recognition. After pheromones are secreted by selected sweat

glands, such as those in the axillary and pubic regions, they are released onto the hairs in these regions.

Hair Growth

Hair anatomy.....One hair on the scalp normally grows about 1/3 of a millimeter or 13/1000 of an inch per

day, for two to five years and may reach a length of about a meter or 3 and 1/4 feet. After this growth phase

it normally enters a dormant phase of three to four months. A new one begins to grow inside the follicle

internal to the older one. The new one eventually pushes out the old and it falls from the follicle.

The scalp normally loses about 10 to 100 per day, though the growth rate and duration of the growth cycle

will vary. If a health problem exists it can cause continuous losses of more than 100 a day. Temporary lossesmay be caused by:

Drugs Dietary factors High fever Radiation Stress

It can occur in either sexes.

Diffuse hair lossis a condition that is both dramatic and distressing. It's loss from all parts of the scalp.This condition is primarily seen is women and can be caused by:

Drugs Hormones Iron deficiency

Male pattern baldness is a condition in males causing loss of hair first from only the crown region of the scalprather than uniformly. Its caused by a combination of genetic and hormonal influences. At puberty the testesbegin secreting large amounts of male sex hormones, primarily testosterone.

As one effect of sex hormone production, males develop a typical pattern of underarm, facial, and chest hair.The relevant gene for male pattern baldness has two alleles, one for uniform hair growth and one forbaldness. The baldness allele is dominant in males and is expressed only in the presence of a high level oftestosterone.

In men who are either heterozygous or homozygous for the baldness allele, testosterone causes the terminalkind of the scalp to be replaced by thinner vellus, beginning on the top of the head and later on the sides.

The baldness allele is recessive in females.

This is a sex-influenced trait in which an allele is dominant in one sex and recessive in the other. Changes inthe level of sex hormones found circulation in the blood can affect development on the scalp, causing a shiftfrom terminal to vellus production.

Hair Anatomy

Anatomically, hair is a distinct part of the skin referred to as an appendage.Other skin appendages include sweat glands, fingernails and toenails. Skin iscomposed of three main layers. The outer layer of skin is the epidermis. Thislayer is less than a millimeter in thickness and is composed of dead cells thatare in a constant state of sloughing and replacement. As dead cells are lost,new ones from the growing layer below replace them.

Beneath the epidermis is the dermis, a tough layer of connective tissue(collagen) that is about 2 to 3 mm thick on the scalp. This layer gives the skin

its strength, and contains both sebaceous glands and sweat glands.

Beneath the dermis is a layer of subcutaneous fat and connective tissue. Thelarger sensory nerve branches and the blood vessels that nourish the skin rundeep in this layer. In the scalp, the lower portions of the hair follicles (thebulbs) are found in the upper part of this fatty layer.

An interesting characteristic of hair is that, in contrast to the commonly heldnotion that it grows as individual strands, it actually emerges from the scalp ingroups of one to four (and sometimes even five or six). The reason for this is

that hair follicles are not solitary structures, but are arranged in the skin innaturally occurring groups called follicular units. Although skin pathologistsrecognized this fact in the early 1980s, its profound importance in hairtransplantation was not appreciated until the mid-1990s. The use of graftscomposed of naturally occurring, individual follicular units, rather than anarbitrary number of hairs, has revolutionized hair transplant surgery.

Each hair follicle measures about 3-4 mm in length and produces a hair shaftabout 0.1 mm in width. The hair follicle has five main parts. Starting from thebottom of the follicle, they are; the dermal papillae, matrix, outer root sheath(ORS), inner root sheath (IRS), and the hair shaft.

The dermal papillae contains specialized cells called fibroblasts that regulatethe hair cycle and hair growth. The dermal papillae contains androgenreceptors sensitive to DHT. For many years, scientists thought that hairgrowth originated from the dermal papillae. Recent evidence has shown thatthe growth center extends from the dermal papillae all the way up to theregion of the follicle where the sebaceous glands are attached. It is nowbelieved that the primary function of the dermal papillae is to regulate folliculargrowth and differentiation. If the dermal papillae is removed (this sometimeshappens during a hair transplant), the hair follicle is often able to regenerate anew one, although the growth of the new hair will be delayed.


13/22

The matrix sits over the dermal papillae and contains actively dividing,immunologically privileged cells. Together, the dermal papillae and the matrixare referred to as the hair bulb. The size of the bulb and the number of matrixcells will determine the width of the fully-grown hair. The cells of the matrixdifferentiate into the three main components of the hair follicle: ORS, IRS and

hair shaft.

The outer root sheath or trichelemma (Greek for coating sac), surrounds thehair follicle in the dermis and then blends into the epidermis on the surface ofthe skin, forming the structure commonly referred to as the pore (from whichthe hair emerges).

The inner root sheath essentially forms a mold for the developing hair shaft. Itis composed of three parts (Henley layer, Huxley layer, and cuticle), with thecuticle being the innermost portion that touches the hair shaft. The cuticle ofthe IRS is formed by a layer of overlapping cells that interlock with the cuticle

of the hair shaft. This overlapping mechanism holds the hair shaft securely inplace, but also allows it to grow in length.

The cells of the IRS keratinize giving it rigidity and strength. Racial variationsare felt to be due to the asymmetric formation of the IRS. If you look at thecross section of the IRS, the shape is oval in Europeans, flat in Africans, andround in Asians.

The hair shaft is the only part of the hair follicle to exit the epidermis (thesurface of the skin). The hair shaft itself is also composed of three layers. Thecuticle, the outer layer that interlocks with the internal root sheath, forms thesurface of the hair and is what we see as the hair shaft emerges from thefollicle. The middle layer, the cortex comprises the bulk of the hair shaft and iswhat gives hair its strength. It is composed of an organic protein calledkeratin, the same material that comprises rhinoceros horns and deer antlers.The center, or core, of the hair shaft, is the medulla, and is only present interminal hair follicles.

Hair Loss in MenHAIR LOSS EVALUATION

The diagnosis of androgenetic alopecia in men is generally straightforward. Itis made by observing a patterned distribution of hair loss (i.e. baldness thataffects the front, top and crown)and by noting the presence of miniaturizedhair in the areas of thinning. Miniaturization, the progressive decrease in hairshaft diameter and length, can be identified using an instrument called adensitometer and is seen only in genetic balding. The diagnosis of malepattern hair loss is supported by the progression of the hair loss according to

a recognizable pattern and by a history of baldness in the family, although afamily history is not always present.

Hair Loss in Women

In women, the diagnosis is more complex, as the most common presentationof balding, a diffuse pattern, can have a variety of non-androgenetic causesincluding pregnancy, gynecologic problems, birth control pills, and thyroiddisease. Because underlying medical conditions can produce hair loss thatcan closely mimic the diffuse pattern seen in genetic hair loss, a carefuldiagnostic evaluation is particularly important.

Hair Loss in WomenHAIR LOSS EVALUATION

Click here to schedule a hair loss evaluation

Hair loss is relatively common in women with about 30% experiencing at leastsome degree of thinning in their lifetime. Because female hair loss tends to bediffuse (less hair all over), rather than showing the characteristic patternedalopecia of men, and the fact that the frontal hairline in women is oftenmaintained, there is a misconception that hair loss in women is rare but it isnot.

The psychological effects of hair loss can be significant, and many women areemotionally affected even when thinning is in its very early stages. This is, in

part, due to the assumption that few women lose their hair and that, incontrast to men, where it is OK to be bald, any hair loss in women is sociallyunacceptable. Both of these erroneous perceptions make dealing with hairloss particularly difficult for women.

To add to the problem, the widely used medication, Propecia, is not indicatedfor women, so there is a perception that medical progress in treating femalehair loss is not as advanced, or that the medical community does not take thetreatment of female hair loss as seriously. Lastly, because hair loss in womencan so often be disguised with existing hair, many women choose to hide theirhair loss from others. Not sharing their problem tends to isolate them andmakes the ability to deal with their hair loss more difficult.

Hair loss in women is generally very gradual, with the rate accelerating duringpregnancy and at menopause. It is more often cyclical than in men, withseasonal changes that reverse themselves, and it is more easily affected byhormonal changes, medical conditions, and external factors.

Fortunately, since most of the time womens hair loss is relatively mild andprogresses very slowly, it is rare for women to lose so much hair that theycant hide the thinning with creative styling techniques and it is extremely

uncommon for women to develop an area that is totally devoid of hair.

The most common pattern of hair loss in women is diffuse and since a diffusepattern can be caused by a number of medical conditions other than commongenetic hair loss, a thorough evaluation is particularly important. If anunderlying medical cause can be found and treated, the hair loss can often bereversed.

The development of new surgical techniques, particularlyFollicular Unit HairTransplantation,allow many women who are losing their hair to have acompletely natural restoration. When performed on a good candidate, this

female hair transplant procedure can produce a dramatic change in a

It is particularly important, however, for any women considering a surgicalsolution, to have a careful physical examination to make sure that the

diagnosis is correct and to determine that they have an adequate donor hairsupply. For those women in whom surgical hair restoration is indicated,special surgical skills are required to achieve optimal results. It is a mistakefor a surgeon to assume that hair loss in women can be treated the same wayas in men.

The hair follicle is even more complex than the skin. It has numerous components:

The sebaceous glandis a very unique structure within the hair follicle. It producessebum, which acts as a natural conditioner for our hair and scalp.

The inner root sheath protectsand molds developing hair shafts. It surrounds the

hair shaft and ends below the opening of the sebaceous gland.

The outer root sheathserves much the same purpose of the inner root sheath.Essentially it forms the outer layer of the hair follicle. Instead of ending at thesebaceous gland however, it extends past it towards the dermis.

The dermal papilla directs the embryonic generation of the hair follicle. The DP isessential for hair follicle development and cycling. For this reason, many newtherapies are being targeted to harness the regenerative power of the dermalpapilla.

The bulb exists at the lower portion of the hair follicle. It surrounds the dermalpapilla and contains many inner matrix cells. These inner matrix cells areresponsible for the formation of hair shafts. They differentiate themselves intodistinct layers as they reach the upper part of the bulb.

Finally, the hair shaft itself has 3 layers:

The cuticle is the surface layer of the hair; this layer protects the inner structureof the hair. The cuticle is made up of transparent, protective-like scale cells.

The cortex is the middle layer of the hair that provides strength and support;contains pigments that give hair its color.

The medulla is the innermost layer of the hair shaft; it is only present in fullygrown hair

Genetic Resources and Biotechnology Division, Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants

(Council of Scientific and Industrial Research), Lucknow, India.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the antimicrobial activity potential of the essential oil of rosemary specifically

for its efficacy against the drug-resistant mutants of Mycobacterium smegmatis, Escherichia coli, and

Candida albicans.

METHOD:Antibacterial, antifungal, and drug resistance-modifying activity was evaluated both

qualitatively and quantitatively following disc diffusion and broth dilution assay procedures.

RESULTS: The rosemary essential oil was found to be more active against the gram-positive

pathogenic bacteria except E. faecalis and drug-resistant mutants of E. coli, compared to gram-negative

bacteria. Similarly, it was found to be more active toward nonfilamentous, filamentous, dermatophytic

pathogenic fungi and drug-resistant mutants of Candida albicans.

CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that characterization and isolation of the active compound(s) from

the rosemary oil may be useful in counteracting gram-positive bacterial, fungal, and drug-resistant

infections.

Abstract

Rosmarinus officinalis extracts were investigated by a combination of bioassays and biochemical

analysis to identify bioactive compounds. The 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydracyl hydrate (DPPH) radical

scavenging method, Folin-Ciocaulteau method and HPLC chromatography were used to study the

distribution and levels of antioxidants (AOXs). Antimicrobial activity analysis was carried out using the

disk diffusion and broth dilution techniques. A good correlation between the AOX activities and total

phenol content in the extracts was found. Although all rosemary extracts showed a high radical

scavenging activity, a different efficacy as antimicrobial agent was observed. Methanol extract

containing 30% of carnosic acid, 16% of carnosol and 5% of rosmarinic acid was the most effective

antimicrobial against Gram positive bacteria (minimal inhibition concentration, MIC, between 2 and 15

mug/ml), Gram negative bacteria (MIC between 2 and 60 mug/ml) and yeast (MIC of 4 mug/ml). By

contrast, water extract containing only 15% of rosmarinic acid showed a narrow activity. MIC value of

the methanol and water extracts is in a good correlation with the values obtained with pure carnosic acid

and rosmarinic acid, respectively. Therefore, our results suggested that the antimicrobial rosemary

extracts efficacy was associated with their specific phenolic composition. Carnosic acid and rosmarinic

acid may be the main bioactive antimicrobial compounds present in rosemary extracts. From a practical

point of view, rosemary extract may be a good candidate for functional foods as well as for

pharmaceutical plant-based products.
