Alopecia Aromatherapy Recipe for Promoting Hair Growth

by Amy Cantwell

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 are treated with essential oils used in aromatherapy if the condition is not a result of alopecia. One should create an alopecia aromatherapy recipe directed towards reducing stress, addressing hormone inbalance and lack of proper nutrition.

Lots of people believe in the healing powers of a real alopecia aromatherapy recipe because it's essential oils have properties that have been used for over a thousand years to cure some of the most common ailments. 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. Two of the more effective herbs used in an alopecia aromatherapy recipe are thyme and rosemary. They are soothing and usually work well, especially if the cause is hormone imbalance.

When mixing your alopecia aromatherapy recipe, it's not a good idea to get the oil right on your scalp. It is better to mix them with carrier oil as most essential oils should not be used straight onto skin. When combined with essential oils, coconut oil, almond oil and olive oil have amazing effects.

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.

Into your bottle of carrier oil, add five drops each of thyme, ylang, ylang, and rosemary essential oils. Use only 2 droplets of lavendar, thyme, chamomile, cedar wood and clay sage, and you will have all that is required for your alopecia aromatherapy recipe. 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.

All you need to do to kick start new hair growth with your alopecia aromatherapy recipe is massage a few drops onto your scalp so as to stimulate the hair roots. It is recommended that you study essential oils and their healing properties in order to find what will work for your situation.
