The Cause and Treatment of Hair Loss

Hair loss can be distressing, and for most people I see in my clinic, regardless of age or gender, the root cause is stress. Long-term stress takes a serious toll on the body, depleting essential nutrients and disrupting hormonal balance.

As we have seen in traumatised or stressed animals, even they experience this. Imagine what it does to us?

The good news is that hair loss can often be managed naturally by addressing the underlying issues. Naturopathy looks at the body as a whole, helping to restore balance and support hair regrowth.

Here are some key steps you can take:

  • Use a gentle, soap-free shampoo with high-quality ingredients - you can order a litra through my clinic for around $30, which lasts for months
  • Massage your scalp daily with two drops of rosemary essential oil in a teaspoon of coconut or olive oil. Even better, get someone else to do it while you relax
  • Ensure you're getting enough zinc—it’s essential for healthy hair. I can recommend a high-quality brand that actually works
  • If you tend to overthink or feel chronically stressed, let’s work on that together to help quiet the mind and reduce tension
  • Listen to your favorite music - it’s a powerful stress reliever that takes you out of your head and into the present moment
  • Get daily natural sunlight for vitamin D - supplements are rarely as effective as the real thing

If hair loss is affecting your confidence, book a consultation at my clinic by emailing tammy.safi@gmail.com or by using the contact page. Together, we can get to the root of the issue and restore your hair naturally.
