See book keywords and concepts |  It is included in many blends of South American herbs marketed for treatment of male pattern baldness and erectile dysfunction, typically combined with catuaba, iporuru, and other rainforest herbs. (See CATUABA and IPORURU, both under The Herbs in Part One.)
Mullein
Latin name: Verbascum densiflorum, also known as Verbas-cum thapsus (Scrophulariaceae [spinach] family)
Other common names: large-flowered mullein, orange mullein
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Mullein is native to regions bordering the Mediterranean Sea and to Ethiopia. |
Ronald L. Hoffman, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  It goes far beyond promoting aggression, body and facial hair, and male pattern baldness. Testosterone is anabolic, meaning that it promotes muscle growth. Loss of lean body mass is a major feature of aging in both men and women, and testosterone production offsets this loss.
Studies show that low levels of testosterone in both sexes predict susceptibility to abdominal weight gain, a pattern of obesity that is associated with heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension. |
Arthur C. Upton, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | In men and women, the most common type of hair loss is androgenetic alopecia, or male pattern baldness, which mostly affects the top of the scalp. It can occur in anyone who has the genetic makeup and the required level of male hormones. Women also can experience temporary hair loss due to hormonal shifts several months after having a baby.
Hair Loss from Illness or Trauma
Thinning hair may follow a severe illness, physical stress such as surgery, or psychological stress. |

See book keywords and concepts |  HERBAL TREATMENT
¦ Saw palmetto has been reported to cause some reversal of male pattern baldness in some cases. Choose a standardized extract containing 90 percent essential fatty acids and sterols, and take 160 milligrams twice daily.
¦ There are a number of herbal formulas that are intended to reduce hair loss and support hair growth. Perhaps the best known is a patent medicine called Alopecia Areata. It is a formula designed specifically for hair loss in women, and has been reported to yield impressive results. | | This may help delay hair loss in men prone to male pattern baldness.
NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS
¦ To address possible deficiencies, take a good multivitamin and mineral supplement daily.
¦ If your skin is dry and flaky, take 500 milligrams of flaxseed oil two or three times daily.
¦ To assure proper assimilation of nutrients, take a full-spectrum digestive enzyme supplement providing 5,000 international units of lipase, 2,500 international units of amylase, and 300 international units of protease, plus 500 to 1,000 milligrams of pancreatin, with each meal. |

See book keywords and concepts |  There is no evidence that zinc restores hair to those suffering from typical male pattern baldness. And there is no evidence that supplementation with zinc will prevent hair loss.
12) Beneficial in diabetics—Insulin is the major hormone of sugar metabolism. Zinc appears to be involved with insulin at a few stages. Insulin is stored in the beta cells of the pancreas as a zinc crystal; zinc enhances the binding of insulin to liver cells and is involved with insulin in promoting the synthesis of lipids in fat cells. Rats that are deprived of zinc develop glucose intolerance. |
