Alopecia Aromatherapy Recipe for Promoting Hair Growth

One of the first things a person is likely to notice about you is your hair and if you have a condition like alopecia, you just might rather hide behind a hat or scarf instead. Alopecia is a condition in which your hair falls out and there is no rhyme or reason as to why it happens. There are many remedies to be found on the internet and even drugstores but you might want to try an alternative treatment such as the use of an alopecia aromatherapy recipe.

Hair loss can result from a number of health conditions such as hormone imbalances, lack of proper nutrition, lack of proper hair care and even stress. These conditions, when not resulting in alopecia, are often treated with essential oils used in aromatherapy. Therefore, it stands to reason that an alopecia aromatherapy recipe could be created to directly combat the result of the stress, hormone imbalance or lack of proper nutrition.

Essential oils have special properties which have been used for thousands of years to treat common ailments which are why many people believe in the healing power of a real alopecia aromatherapy recipe. Stress is often calmed with chamomile, clary sage and ylang ylang so it stands to reason that is would work well in the hair care recipe. Thyme and rosemary are calming and therefore may work well in an alopecia aromatherapy recipe, particularly if one of the problems is hormone

imbalances.

When it is time to mix up your alopecia aromatherapy recipe, you cannot use any essential oils directly onto your scalp. Rather, you must blend them with carrier oil as most essential oils should not be used straight onto skin. A few carrier oils that would work wonders with any essential oils are coconut oil, almond oil or even olive oil.

Most alopecia aromatherapy recipes should be mixed in a container which could serve also as the applicator like a spray or squeeze bottle. This allows for less mess as well as a way to apply the aromatherapy treatment directly onto the scalp without making a mess. Besides, you have to be careful when mixing and applying the essential oil mixtures as it can stain clothing and certain surfaces.

Starting with a your bottle dispenser, pour about two ounces of the carrier oil of your choice along with 5 drops of ylang ylang, thyme and rosemary. With two drops of lavender, thyme, chamomile, cedar wood and clay sage, your alopecia aromatherapy recipe is complete. The next step is to thoroughly mix the different essential oils together with the carrier oil and then test it on an inconspicuous spot on your skin to ensure no major breakouts occur.

The best way to use your alopecia aromatherapy recipe is to massage a few drops onto your scalp which will likely stimulate the hair roots and hopefully kick start new hair growth. Because there are quite a few essential oils in the world, you should research a few others to see what their medicinal properties are and whether they would work.
