1. Hair Loss Solutions with Essential Oils
=============================================

When people lose their hair it can be devastating,
whatever the reason.

I've known more than one woman diagnosed with cancer
who was more concerned about losing her hair
from treatments than with the cancer.

It is amazing the value people put on hair.

And it is also amazing how many products are out
there that attempt hair regrowth.

I am often asked if there is anything natural
and available in the essential oil arena for hair loss.

There are many causes for hair loss.

Alopecia (the medical term for hair loss),
can be related to different things such as genetics,
hormones, drugs, or illness.

And there are many types of alopecia.

Alopecia areata is a type of hair loss that causes
patchy baldness (this not the "male pattern baldness"
hair loss).

It affects men and women and is most
likely caused by an inflammatory immune response
often followed by stress.

This is the type of hair loss that can respond to
the use of essential oils. A 1998 study was done
with 84 people who had been diagnosed with alopecia
areata who used essential oil applications to their
scalp:
--Cedarwood (2 drops)
--Lavender (3 drops)
--Rosemary (3 drops)
--Thyme (2 drops)
--Placed in carrier oil mix of jojoba (3 mL) and
grapeseed (20 ml)

(FYI-all of these oils have been used to treat alopecia for more
than a century).

Researcher Isabelle C. Hay and colleagues from the Aberdeen
Royal Infirmary in Scotland ran this study and had
half the group use this essential oil mixture and the other half
use a plain carrier oil.

Testing was done several times in during the seven month trial
by photography and scalp measurements.

Of those receiving active treatment, 44 percent significantly
improved, while 15 percent using placebo improved.

One male patient with alopecia areata as well as severe male
pattern hair loss saw improvement in both areas after using the
essential oil blend.

These results suggest that one or more of the essential oils are
biologically able to promote hair growth.

3. Success Tip: ~Ancient Persian Saying
============================================

I had the blues because I had no shoes until
upon the street, I met a man who had no feet.

~Ancient Persian Saying

4. Recipe of the Week: Curried Celery Soup
===========================================

2 Tbsp. Ghee
1 onion, chopped
1 leek, washed and sliced
1 1/2 pounds celery, chopped
1 TBSP medium or hot curry powder (or more to taste!)
3 large red-skinned potatoes
3 3/4 cups water or vegetable stock
1 bouquet garni (Place a bay leaf, a sprig
of thyme, and a sprig of parsley on one piece
of green leek. Cover with the remaining piece of
green leek. Tie securely with fine string, leaving
a length of string attached so that the bouquet
garni can be easily retrieved. )
2 TBSP finely chopped mixed fresh herbs
Celtic Sea Salt and Herbamare
Celery seed and celery leaves to garnish


--Heat the ghee in a large saucepan.
--Add the onion, leek and celery,
cover and cook gently for about 10 minutes
--Add the curry powder and cook for 2 minutes more, stirring
occasionally.
--Add the potatoes, stock (or water) and bouquet garni, cover and
bring to a boil.
--Simmer for 20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
Remove and discard the bouquet garni and set the soup aside
to cool slightly. Puree in a blender or food processor until
smooth.
--Add the mixed herbs, season to taste and process VERY briefly.
--Return to the saucepan and reheat gently until piping hot.
--Garnish with celery sprigs

Nowadays there's a pill for everything --
