Hair Loss/Baldness

Hair loss is a subtle metabolic disorder. It may be due to disease like typhoid, diabetes, fungal infection on the scalp, or hormonal imbalance. And there is a hereditary factor also, in which genes appear to trigger hair loss at a certain age. A deficiency of calcium, magnesium, and zinc may affect the nourishment of the hair.

Home Remedies

Sesame seeds: Eat a handful of white sesame seeds every morning.
Lettuce and spinach: Apply mixture of lettuce and spinach juice regularly to prevent hair loss due to vitamin deficiency.
