Eat antioxidant-rich foods, including fruits (such as blueberries,cherries, and tomatoes), and vegetables (such as squashes and peppers).

Avoid refined foods, such as white breads, pastas, and sugar.

Eat fewer red meats and more lean meats, cold-water fish, tofu (soy, ifno allergy) or beans for protein.

Use healthy oils in foods, such as olive oil or coconut oil.

For alopecia and hair shaft disorders:

Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) standardized extract, 40 - 80 mg, 3 times daily, for antioxidant support and blood flow.

Herbs Topical applications of essential oils may benefit skin infections and

stimulate new hair growth. Use 3 - 4 drops each of peppermint (Mentha piperita), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), and sage (Salvia officinalis) in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil or olive oil. Massage gently into affected area 1 - 2 times daily. If using topical medications such as Minoxidil consult your health care provider regarding possible interactions between topical natural products.

For hirsutism:

Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) standardized extract, 160 mg, 2 times daily, for hormonal support. Saw palmetto may interact with some hormone therapies, including birth control, and may increase the blood-thinning effects of certain medications, such as aspirin and warfarin (Coumadin).
