Turmeric May Potentially Slow Hair Loss and May Trigger Hair Re-Growth

(Newswire.net — March 17, 2017) Las Vegas, NV — Turmeric has long been believed to offer a range of health benefits and it has been used for thousands of years. It may also be an excellent alternative for individuals who are having issues with their hair health.

Turmeric may potentially slow hair loss and may even trigger hair re-growth. Many men are vulnerable to hair loss, which may be caused by certain diseases, stress, and unhealthy diet. Individuals who suffer from this condition often experience embarrassment due to lack of hair.

The bioactive ingredient called curcumin in turmeric is believed to be responsible for many of its potentially positive effects. Curcumin is believed to contain antibacterial, anti-carcinogenic, antiseptic, antiviral, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Curcumin is believed to have the ability to prevent TGF beta one growth. The TGF beta one causes the death of hair follicles, which eventually leads to hair loss. Turmeric combined with milk and honey is believed to help such a growth and prevent hair loss.

This powerful phytochemical is also believed to provide possible benefits to conditions such as eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, and other scalp conditions. These conditions usually cause undesirable symptoms, such as inflammation, itchy and flaky skin, as well as thinning hair.

Cicatricial alopecia may develop due to inflammation. This scalp disease may be damaging to hair follicles and may prevent the regrowth of hair. Fungal infections effecting the scalp may also result in hair loss.

Stress may also cause hair loss. Since turmeric may potentially reduce stress, it may also reduce thinning of the hair and hair loss.

According to experts, the enzymes called Type II 5a-reductase can transform testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the hormone that causes androgenetic hair loss.

Studies showed that curcumin may have the potential ability to stop the growth or development of 5a-reductase enzymes. This type of enzyme may also be inhibited by certain pharmaceutical drugs.  However, the use of these medications has often been linked with side effects, such as erectile dysfunction.

Curcumin has been believed to aid in the activation of the vitamin D receptors (VDR) genes, which produce the certain types of protein that control the signals in the hair growth cycle. These genes also take care of telling the hair follicles to begin regrowing.

While turmeric is available in powder form, it can also be taken through supplementation. Supplements are believed to contain higher levels of curcumin, and this may provide more potential health benefits.
