Article by Chetana

Each of us experiences some form of hair loss, although we wish not to. You wake up in the morning and brush your hair to see extra strands falling. What is your immediate reaction? …..Utter disappointment. And while you may have tried a billion of tricks on how to control this growing menace, nothing seems to be working? Don’t lose hope, you are not alone. We do understand your plight!

Benefits of green tea include the effect of reversing the hair menace as it contains antioxidants. Also, it contains few stimulating effects which are classified as alkaloids. This group of alkaloids contains theobromine, theophylline, and caffeine.

Green Tea Stimulates Hair Growth

If you are unhappy that you hair is growing too slowly and wish that it to grows quickly, then this nature’s miracle may be the solution to your problem. As per hair experts, a component called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) present in green tea helps in preventing hair loss effectively. This amazing antioxidant has been proven to be a potential hair growth stimulant.

EGCG inhibits the production of Tumor Necrosis Factors (TNF), a molecule which has been identified to cause hair loss. Also, this molecule plays an active role in causing cancer and arthritis. Hence, drinking green tea will not only ensure prevention of hair loss and stimulation of hair growth but also provide you protection from various other health conditions.

Using Green Tea to Control Hair loss

Today we will talk about how we can make the best use of the benefits of green tea to control hair fall.

• Green tea has recently become a popular drink in the world for its innumerable health and skincare benefits. Unlike in the past when many people did not know the benefits of green tea that control hair fall.

• Green tea has six benefiting compounds that keep hair problems at bay. It also controls free radicals in the body that damage cell. The main ingredient in green tea is antioxidants – this is the main reason why it is considered healthy for the body as well as skin and hair.

• Thinning of hair i.e., loss of unnatural amounts of hair is more common in women. It’s due to the hormonal changes they experience. It’s present in men, too. They call it alopecia. Alopecia shows baldness at the side or top or front of the scalp. You can address your hair fall issue with the help of green tea.

• Green tea contains a high amount of antioxidants. It’s believed that the catechins found in green tea have 5-alpha-reductase inhibiting properties. This means that DHT (dihydrotestosterone – the substance that causes hair loss in men and women) could be repressed and ultimately hair loss could be avoided. But later on, it was discovered that the anti-inflammatory properties in green tea help to stop hair loss and even promote the growth of new hair.

• Drinking a cup of green tea daily over a prolonged period of time will help lower the hair fall rate and help its regrowth. However, there are also green tea supplements which provide the same benefit.

• Green tea can also be used to rinse your hair after shampoo three times a week. Using this natural rinse along with other natural hair masks stimulate the hair follicles and provide nourishment to the scalp.

Please Remember

1. Drink at least a cup of green tea each day for two to three months to get the required results.
2. The hair rinse can be used as you wish since it’s natural.

So from today onward add this useful drink to your daily diet and control hair loss.

Now it is your turn to tell me about your experience with green tea. Do you drink green tea?  Have you noticed any health benefits?
