HAIR LOSS TREATMENT WITH NO SIDE EFFECTS

Aside from its use in prostate treatment, saw palmetto is fast becoming a popular hair loss treatment. Saw palmetto is also known by its common names cabbage palm and American dwarf palm and also scientifically as Serenoa repens and Sabal serrulatum.

Saw palmetto palm has an extensive trunk with yellowish-white flowers with large reddish-black fruits. This slow-growing fan palm can live up to 500 years and is mainly found along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.

Saw palmetto fruits have for ages been valued as food source as well as for their medicinal uses. Traditionally, fruits were used as expectorant, antiseptic, tonic, and also as useful treatment for urinary problems, infertility, and menstruation problems.

In older men, it was used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia or enlarged prostate gland. Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a common male problem that begins in the 30s but symptoms usually show after the age of 50.

It has been said that saw palmetto extract relieved urinary symptoms associated with BPH. It is now the most common herbal treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia, used by thousands of men to ease symptoms.

Saw palmetto is also used as a hair loss treatment. Androgenetic alopecia or male pattern baldness is the result of a sensitivity of the hair follicles to male hormones or more specifically DHT. This causes follicles to shrink and eventually stop producing hair leading to baldness.

Saw palmetto works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to DHT to stop hair loss at the roots. This makes saw palmetto extract a useful hair loss treatment option for those who prefer herbal management.

Taken orally, saw palmetto does have its side effects. Although mostly well-tolerated by most users, it can cause stomach discomfort and may adversely affect sex hormones. Some men using saw palmetto treatment have reported erectile dysfunction and decrease in sexual desire.
