Facts About Hair Loss And How Therapro Can Help

Did you know that 70,000,000 men and women in the U.S. are experiencing excessive hair loss?  About 30% of people have hair loss by age 30, and about 50% have hair loss by age 50. Hair loss is so common that most of the time it is considered a normal variation and not a disease.

There are a number of internal and external causes that can contribute to a thinner head of hair. Somewhere around age 20 our hair is at its thickest. As we age, a combination of factors can prevent the hair from following its regular growth process which results in thinning, brittle hair.

The primary cause of hair loss is a genetic predisposition called Androgen Alopecia. Androgen Alopecia is responsible for 80 – 90% of Male and Female hair loss. The bottom line is that androgenetic alopecia initiates a process which creates DHT, a powerful androgen hormone, on the scalp. DHT binds to the hair follicle and slowly degrades and destroys it. When the follicle is closed off, hair can no longer grow in that follicle.
Other Causes of Hair Loss:

• Natural aging
• Medical disorders
• Hormonal imbalances
• Nutritional deficiencies
• Scalp Disorders

Men and women tend to experience hair loss and thinning differently.

Male androgen alopecia is the most common cause of male pattern baldness and hair loss. It can begin at puberty when genetically sensitive follicles are exposed to Testosterone. Actual hair loss doesn’t typically begin until the late teens or early twenties. Male hair loss is normally first noticed at the crown creating frontal receding.

Female androgen alopecia is the most common type of women’s hair loss. Fluctuation and decline of Estrogen hormones expose genetically sensitive follicles to androgens (DHT) which slowly degrade the hair follicle. Women normally see a decrease in hair density but rarely become bald.

There are many treatments available today to help combat hair loss and thinning ranging from serums, vitamins and even lasers combs. Some treatments do have side effects so it is important to thoroughly research the treatment you are considering. Non-drug therapies utilizing plant medicines are recognized as safe, proven alternatives to their prescription drug counterparts. Phyto Medicines, or “plant” medicines have been used for centuries around the world, and now there is a strong revival of Phyto Medicine as consumers react to the potential side effects of conventional medicines.
