Herbal Treament to Stop Hair Loss for Women
While hair loss is less prevalent in women, it is not completely non-existent. In the United States alone, 21 million women suffer from hair loss, compared to 35 million men. Women who suffer from hair loss do so for a variety of reasons such as heredity, stress, poor nutrition and illness. While there are several possible treatments for women's hair loss--including surgery, topical treatments and oral medication--some women prefer more natural methods.Things You'll Need
