Stimulating Scalp Oil - Alopecia
For a period of 20 years I suffered from the uncertainty of Alopecia Areata. I remember the nightmares I caused me, as well as the embarrassment. Recently, a properly run double blind study was done by a team of dermatologists. The abstract of the study is available HERE.
Now, the study does not indicate which chemotypes of the essential oils were used, nor the proportions of the blend. Here, at Nature's Gift, we have put together a synergy of the named oils in amounts that "seemed right" to us. Equal parts of the two carrier oils named in the study, with a five % dilution of the essential oil synergy seemed appropriate for the recommended daily scalp massage. We make NO claims as to whether this synergistic blend will give you the results found in the study, however we would welcome replies from any who try it.
A personal aside: I know that for me, episodes of Alopecia were triggered by extreme stress, and I think it is no co-incidence that the period of remission coincided with my introduction to the healing power of the essential oils. I would strongly recommend you further explore the emotionally calming oils and synergies available to you, here, or elsewhere.
