Phytotherapy in the treatment to reduce hair loss due stress and anxiety

Part III: Hawthorn, Ashwagandha

Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) 

The ideal plant for anyone undergoing periods of stress and an accelerated pace of life is one that helps to calm.

The pharmacological properties of Hawthorn are found in its flowers. Hawthorn is very useful in cases of stress and nervousness due to its effects as a nervous and cardiac sedative.

*Mixing a combination of Valerian, Passionflower, and Hawthorn has been shown to increase effectiveness compared to taking each of them separately. Together, they better reduce symptoms in people who suffer from anxiety or stress.

Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera)
It is an ancient medicinal herb well-known in Asia. It can reduce anxiety and stress, normalizing cortisol levels, thereby reducing the stress response. Ashwagandha is considered an adaptogen, meaning it can help the body manage both mental and physical stress, similar to the previously described ginseng.

My recommendation is that you always consult your doctor first because each case of stress or anxiety is different for each person and your doctor will know which dose to recommend better.

Controlling stress will also help our hair when the cause of hair loss is just that.
