It is never fun to lose hair. Losing ones hair can be depressing, and even devastating to some people. Whatever the reason, there seems to be a certain value of having hair in society.

People that lose hair place value on the hair that they do have. There are a lot of products currently available in the hair re-growth industry. A lot of these treatments, unfortunately, are not very effective.

Hair loss, known in the medical world as alopecia, happens for a variety of reason. It can be caused because of hormones, drugs, cancer treatments, illnesses, and even genetics. Hair is lost in a few different ways as well.

If you know the reason for the hair loss, then there can sometimes be a natural way to treat it. Organic essential oils have medicinal value to them. Depending on the type of hair loss, organic essential oils may be the perfect choice for you.

In 1998 a group of researchers wanted to see the impact that organic essential oils can have on individuals suffering from alopecia areata. Alopecia areata is often known as male pattern baldness. It was suspected to be caused by an inflammatory immune response.

Organic essential oils have been used for hundreds of years to treat baldness. Researchers wanted to see how indivudals suffering from alopecia were affected by the use of essential oil treatments that were applied to their scalp.

They split the group in to two groups, with one group using the organic essential oil mixture, and the other half using a plain carrier oil mixture.

The results were that those that received active treatment with the essential oil treatment significantly improved by 44%. The placebo group that used carrier oil only improved by 15%. This suggests that essential oil treatments can promote hair growth.
