Alot of hair loss, resulting in hair thinning. Please help‏

Hello Joe De Livera,

I think it is by pure chance that i stumbled across ABC Homepathy. I was looking for Arnica Montana essential oil to add to some base oils, as suggested to me by a herbal doctor because i am suffering from a lot of hair loss. but i discovered there is no such thing as arica montana essential oil but there is mother tincture. he suggested i use equal amounts of almond and jojoba base oil with 3-5 drops of arnica montana and lavender essential oils. apply it to my scalp twice a week. do you think this is just as good as your remedy?

you could say my hair began to fall out when i was about 21/22yrs old. Usually when i washed my hair and then detangled it. Each strand is fine, so there was never alot of density, but now i have about 1/10th of what i had when i was 21. but as the hair loss was not so much i never payed any attention.
Real hair loss began in 2006 when i was 32. i noticed that more than usual was falling out, but didn't know what to do about it.Then in june 2007 i went to india for 2.5 months and i lost more than 1/2 the amount of hair i had before i went to india. It was terrifying. i didn't know what to do. it was comming out in strands and strands. when i washed it, combed it or just ran my fingers thru it. it was as if my hair had become week at the roots and and anything made it drop out. i was scared and depressed to even wash or comb it. when i returned to the uk, i had blood tests done. everything was normal except i was low on iron so my doc put me on iron supplements. i still take about 1 or 2 a week to keep my levels up. my doc said there is nothing that can be done as it is female patterned baldness. my mums hair is also thin and sparse but she is now 65 and it was never thick. At its peak i was loosing more than 500 strands a day. now i loose about 100-150 a day but when i wash my hair i loose about 500-600. although some new hair is coming back it is much finer than old hair and falls out when it reaches about 3 inches long.
i have noticed more hair falls out when my hair is oily and and my hair becomes oily after 2 days of washing it. ends are dry. my hair has thinned out a lot, i hate looking at myself. you can see lot of scalp, esp at the back of head, middle parting and and front of head.

i want to try your remedy
Get a vial of Arnica 30c and a 10ml bottle of Arnica Q or Mother Tincture.

Insert 3 pellets of Arnica 30c into a 50 ml bottle of spring water from your nearest supermarket and shake in hard to ensure bubbles. Sip a teaspoonful thrice daily for the first month reduced to twice daily thereafter. Shake the bottle hard every time you sip your teaspoonful.

Mix the Arnica Q to make a 20% solution with virgin Coconut Oil and shake it to ensure that it is mixed in completely. Apply a few drops on your finger tips to the area in the scalp or even all over and massage it into the scalp.
