One of the first things a person is likely to notice about you is your hair and if you have a condition like alopecia, you just might rather hide behind a hat or scarf instead. Alopecia can stem from a multitude of things. You can find remedies on the internet and in drugstores, but alternative treatments like using an alopecia aromatherapy recipe could be useful.
Hair loss can result from a number of health conditions such as hormone imbalances, lack of proper nutrition, lack of proper hair care and even stress. These conditions, when not resulting in alopecia, are often treated with essential oils used in aromatherapy. With this is mind, it makes sense then that an alopecia aromatherapy recipe would have a direct impact on your stress levels, any hormonal imbalance or malnutrition.
Essential oils have special properties which have been used for thousands of years to treat common ailments which are why many people believe in the healing power of a real alopecia aromatherapy recipe. Because chamomile, clary sage, and ylang ylang can lower your stress levels, it's only natural that they can lower your hair loss, as well. Thyme and rosemary are calming and therefore may work well in an alopecia aromatherapy recipe, particularly if one of the problems is hormone imbalances.
When mixing your alopecia aromatherapy recipe, it's not a good idea to get the oil right on your scalp. Rather, you must blend them with carrier oil as most essential oils should not be used straight onto skin. Almond, coconut as well as olive oil are all carrier oils that are extremely complimentary to essential oils.
Most alopecia aromatherapy recipes should be mixed in a container which could serve also as the applicator like a spray or squeeze bottle. Doing it this way allows for the aromatherapy treatment to be applied directly to the scalp with less mess. Besides, you have to be careful when mixing and applying the essential oil mixtures as it can stain clothing and certain surfaces.
Starting with a your bottle dispenser, pour about two ounces of the carrier oil of your choice along with 5 drops of ylang ylang, thyme and rosemary. An alopecia aromatherapy recipe consists of two drops of each of the following essential oils: lavender, thyme, chamomile, cedar wood and clay sage. The next step is to thoroughly mix the different essential oils together with the carrier oil and then test it on an inconspicuous spot on your skin to ensure no major breakouts occur.
The most effective method to employ your alopecia aromatherapy recipe is to gently rub several drops onto your scalp to invigorate the hair follicles and hopefully promote new hair growth. There are many essential oils available, so you should do some research to see how each one works and what the medicinal properties are.
