If you are a part of the large group of men that are suffering from hair loss, you are also likely to be looking for a cure. Of course, those that have been bald for some time now do not have much of a chance, but if you can catch the hair loss early you might be able to at least slow the process down a little. No matter when in your life you could be dealing with hair loss, it can be a traumatic event.
Most of the time it happens in men at some point and can even be passed down from other generations. There is a loss of confidence in those that lose hair and become bald so there has been a good amount of research done to see if it can be slowed, if not halted altogether. You have been bombed with commercials about Rogaine and other “overnight” success stories, but there is a new option on the market.
According to sources, there is a natural remedy to hair loss that comes from beehives. If you know a local beekeeper, you might want to let him know that you are on the way to check out the hives. Scientists from Japan have discovered that propolis encourages hair growth in shaved mice. The propolis is a resin like substance you get from the beehive and that is where the local beekeepers come into play.
Propolis is nothing new, in fact it has been used as a acne treatment, as well as a treatment to healing wounds. Researchers say that certain types of hair loss are caused by an inflammation and propolis has inflammatory properties and that is the logic behind the treatment. Other properties of the resin like substance include keratinocytes, which are the predominant cells in the outer most layers of the skin and also play a major role in the growth of hair cells. If there is inflammation in that layer of skin, the hair growth can be almost stopped.
If you have hair loss that is caused by inflammation, researchers say that the propolis could help with the reversal of the hair loss. Even though balding men might have a chance to slow the process down, there is no reason that they should grab the resin and start spreading it all over their heads. Researchers are looking to expand the research and expand the research behind the findings. The main thing is that it would be a natural remedy that has no side effects compared to other chemical options.
