Hijama for Hair Loss & Alopecia

Understanding Hair Fall

The human body naturally loses hair every day. But when a person starts losing more than 100 strands a day, it becomes a matter of concern. Hair loss, also known as alopecia, can have various causes, both genetic and environmental.

Some Leading Causes of Hair Loss

Androgenetic Alopecia (Male and Female Pattern Baldness): This is the most common cause of hair loss and is often genetic. In men, it can lead to a receding hairline and baldness on the crown. In women, it typically results in overall thinning of the hair.

Chemical Hair Treatments: Excessive use of hair treatments, such as perms, relaxers, and dyes, can damage hair and lead to breakage and loss.

Telogen Effluvium: This type of hair loss is often triggered by stress, illness, surgery, or hormonal changes, causing a large number of hair follicles to enter the resting (telogen) phase simultaneously. Hair shedding becomes more noticeable, but it is often reversible.

Medications: Some medications, such as chemotherapy drugs, anticoagulants, antidepressants, and blood pressure medications, can cause hair loss as a side effect. Hair often grows back once the medication is discontinued.

Nutritional Deficiencies: Inadequate intake of essential nutrients, particularly iron, zinc, biotin, and protein, can lead to hair thinning and loss.

Alopecia Areata: An autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks hair follicles, causing hair loss in small, round patches on the scalp or other areas of the body.

Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions and illnesses, such as thyroid disorders, lupus, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can lead to hair loss as a symptom.

Physical or Emotional Stress: Sudden and severe physical or emotional stress can lead to temporary hair loss. Chronic stress may also contribute to hair thinning over time.

Traction Alopecia: This type of hair loss is caused by repeated and prolonged pulling of hair, often due to tight hairstyles.

Age: As people age, hair naturally becomes thinner and may gradually lead to hair loss.

Role of Hijama in Treating Hair Loss

If the hair fall hasn’t been very severe & follicles are still alive, there is still hope for hair growth with Hijama/Cupping therapy.

Hijama treatment is postulated to increase the blood flow by increasing the Nitric oxide levels.

Hijama therapy can help open the follicles and promote blood circulation to help maintain the hair.

It reduces the oxidative stress from the body.

When bad blood along with DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) is removed, it controls the amount of DHT in blood, the blood is allowed to increase the amount of nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles & this will prevent any further shrinkage of the hair shaft & allow it to grow stronger and fuller.
