Certain essential oils used for hair loss in Aromatherapy include Bay, Grapefruit, Cedarwood, jojobal oil, lemon, lavender, rosemary, roman chamomile. Two drops of these essential oils can be added to the water used for rinsing hair or to a vegetable oil, and can be massaged on to the scalp and a warm towel can be tied around the hair for effective absorption of oils.

    Hi,
    I’ve been suffering from alopecia areata for the last 5 years, i have hair missing from the back of my head and from behind the right ear, the patches are getting bigger, i am becoming very worried as i am only 37 years old. I have tried many herbal remedies, but with not much luck. A friend of mine who i have now lost contact with once bought me to lotions from India, one was clear and smelt like eucalyptus oil and one was a brown colour which smelt like tincture. I found that these helped and the hair came back. But unfortunately they did not have a name on the bottles, so i couldn’t get any more. Could you please help me . I am very depressed and just want my hair to come back. I live in London.
    Thank You
