Naturopathic medicine is holistic and preventative by nature; therefore, a good hair and skin hygiene, sufficient diet and nutrients, balanced activity and exercise, good night sleep and an overall healthy lifestyle are always on top of the recommendations.
Some homeopathic treatments such as herbal therapy might be advised according to your unique circumstances.
For the hair that is already falling, there are natural and non invasive treatments offered by integrative medicine centers:
PRP Therapy
PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma and is a naturopathic therapy that applies your blood to your scalp to initiate hair regrowth to improve you aesthetically.
Plasma is the liquid section of the blood. It is mostly made of water and proteins to perform a medium-like role for white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets to freely move inside the body. Platelets or Thrombocytes are blood clotting cells that contain growth factors, which are responsible for main phases of cell creation, repair, and healing.
PRP is the same plasma, but with 10 times more concentrated platelets which turn it to a more potent agent due to the amount of proteins and growth factors present in concentration.
PRP is incorporated for hair restoration specifically in Androgenetic Alopecia or pattern baldness, which responds positively to this therapy because PRP decreases the inflammation that has caused the hair loss in the first place.
For hair loss treatment, the plasma with more concentration is directly injected into your hair follicles. The procedure has minimal discomfort; therefore, you will not need any numbing or recovery after therapy.
After first injection session, you need to receive additional injections once a month for a total of three months before transitioning to a once every three to six months schedule. In the first few months of injections, you will notice reduction in hair loss until improvement in thickness or eventual re-growth of your hair is observed.
Vitamin Injection
Vitamin Injection is a naturopathic therapy to provide your body with essential vitamins fast. It’s not an alternative for a healthy diet and lifestyle but it helps to replenish nutritional deficiencies, which is the root cause of all physical and mental symptoms.
The vitamin shot bypasses the digestive tract and pushes directly into cells and tissues. It takes a few hours for nutrients to be absorbed in the digestive system; therefore, by bypassing this root, the vitamin injection has an immediate therapeutic impact. Considering the amounts present in a vitamin shot are higher than normal, any nutritional deficiencies will be solved immediately, which makes you feel nurtured and nourished resulting in elimination of hair loss and initiation of hair regrowth.
B vitamins group, antioxidant, vitamin D, high doses of vitamin C, MIC and CoQ10 are among the most common vitamins in injection therapy, which are all essential for hair maintenance and regrowth.
IV therapy
Intravenous therapy (IV) is a naturopathic solution to infuse essential nutrients into your vein in high doses to overcome nutritional deficiencies.
IV therapy is equal to a multivitamin and mineral pill in mega doses, which bypasses your GI tract to directly enter your bloodstream to absorb quickly. Vitamins and minerals compete for absorption in your digestive system and because some minerals like calcium are stronger, they will always dominate other vitamins leading to deficiency. Bypassing digestive tract gives all vitamins and minerals equal opportunity to absorb.
Electrolytes, magnesium, calcium, potassium, zinc, iron, selenium, amino acids, carnitine, glutathione, ALA, poly MVA, Phosphatidylcholine, NAD and chelating agents are the most frequently infused compounds for hair loss and hair regrowth purpose.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a naturopathic treatment to replace hormones that are lower than normal in your body in order to restore balance in your body, mind and life and eliminate excessive hair loss and initiate hair regrowth.
Your body produces many hormones throughout your life that fluctuate during a normal day and also has critical periods in your life such as puberty, pregnancy and menopause or andropause. All these stressful periods disturb hair life cycle, which leads to rapid hair loss or lack of hair regrowth.
Bioidentical hormones such as HGH, cortisol, DHEA, thyroid hormones, estrogen, progesterone and testosterone are often affected by life circumstances and require replacement.
