Treating Hair Loss by Caring for the Scalp Inside Out

It’s a proven fact that massage stimulates healing of hair loss by increasing scalp circulation. In your scalp, this means the healing nutrients from your diet can more easily reach your ailing hair follicles. Almost all hair loss programs incorporate scalp massage, combined with a topical remedy, to stimulate new hair growth and stop hair loss.

In addition to a once-a-day intensive massage combined with a topical remedy, you should also grab any chance you have throughout the day to do a quick massage.

There may be a spare 2 minutes in the afternoon as you take a break from staring at work on the computer screen. You can massage for a few minutes while you wait for dinner to cook. There are many opportunities, so keep an eye out.

This will keep the blood flow stimulated throughout the day, lengthening the healing time. If you’re already using a healthy shampoo which contains nutrients, a portion of those nutrients will be left on your scalp even after rinsing. Giving yourself a massage throughout the day will let those nutrients have better access to your weakening hair follicles.

However, treating your scalp from the outside can only do so much. Sure you can heal the hair follicles externally. But then again, this doesn’t prevent the attack coming from the inside. Abnormal hormones, toxins from the environment, and other symptoms of generally poor health invade your scalp through the bloodstream. They attach to the tissue around the hair follicle, sickening it.

No matter how you nurture the hair follicle externally, another attack will soon make it sick again. The best hair loss treatment programs realize this can be a never-ending process. You’ll eternally have to play catch-up, forever healing your scalp. Forever, that’s, unless you correct the problem internally.
Once you correct the problems inside your body, the attack on your hair will stop. This means your healing scalp treatments will be more effective. You’ll be able to heal the follicle once and for all and finally re-grow hair.
