Hair loss is one of the most common problems which affect almost 95% people all over the world. Hair loss is of many types but the most common type found in men is male pattern baldness or androgenic alopecia. In this article let us find out more about the causes of such baldness and the alternative treatments available to combat this condition.

Reasons For Male Pattern Baldness The main reason for androgenic alopecia according to medical studies is the excess production of DHT in the body which when deposited to the scalp area prevents the hair follicles from extracting vital nutrients from the blood which results in weakening of hair and finally hair start to loose grip on the scalp and fall off and due to the shrunk hair follicles the possibility of new hair growth is reduced to a very minimum chance. How To Prevent Hair from Falling Treating hair loss is not as difficult as people think. The only thing you have to do is to bring the level of DHT in the body to its normal self.

There is a prescription drug named finasteride commonly known as propecia which can reduce the level of DHT in the body but people have reported adverse side effects of its usage such as growth of breasts in men and erectile dysfunction plus this medicine has not been accepted universally.

Using Natural Herbs To Treat Hair Loss The use of natural medicines has many benefits the first and foremost being lack of any side effects. Herbs like gotu kola and saw palmetto have the same effect as of propecia in helping lower DHT levels but they do not cause any harm to the body instead they provide vital nutrients to the scalp area thereby helping in growth of new hair.

 This is the reason why so many people are turning towards the use of natural medicine to stop the loss of hair.
