Many people have heard of the drug Propecia, the well-known brand of finasteride, a medication commonly used to treat hair loss. While studies show the effectiveness of the drug, it also comes with some serious side effects, including impotence, swelling, headaches, and dizziness. As more and more people seek out natural alternatives to drugs and hormones, saw palmetto is stepping into the limelight.
Used to treat hair loss, this small berry has been used by Native American cultures. Some evidence suggests that saw palmetto is effective in treating a variety of conditions including:
• hair loss
• bladder infections
• prostate cancer
• decreased sex drive
DHT that builds up in the follicle can contribute to gradual hair thinning and eventually has the potential to kill the follicle completely.
In women, DHT can have the opposite effect on hair follicles all over the body, causing excess hair to grow in places like the face, stomach, and arms.
