Hypothyroidism is characterized by very low levels of the thyroid hormone. The thyroid hormones such as the growth hormones will not be in sufficient supply. This affects a good number of body functions. Growth hormones are essential for cellular growth and development. In the absence of this hormone, hair follicles do not develop well (they under develop). This also affects the strength of the hair strands that are produced by these follicles, as they do not complete the whole anagen phase. When hair strands come out of the anagen phase quickly they tend to be weak. This results in them breaking off easily by just the slightest combing. This is one factor of hypothyroidism causing hair loss. Hypothyroidism is treated by thyroid hormone replacement therapy. When the hormone is replaced, normal thyroid function will result. The natural hormonal balance of the body will be controlled and all the symptoms caused by this disorder will be in check. Hair loss will stop, but hair growth may not be guaranteed. If hair growth does not start, it may be wise to boost it with some hair treatment therapies that are used to boost hair growth in patients that suffered from hair loss caused by disease. A good way to boost hair growth in a patient that had lost hair due to hypothyroidism will be to use natural treatments. Natural herbal treatments are ideal in that they do not affect the chemical or hormonal levels of the body, something which has to be avoided when treating patients suffering from this hormonal disorder. Other natural ways of boosting hair growth in patients suffering from hormonal disorders will be to put them on a special diet that is rich in minerals, vitamins and essential nutrients. A diet rich in vitamins and nutrients will allow not only boost hair growth, but it will also help boost the body's defensive mechanism, thus preventing the incidence of opportunistic infection by other diseases which will cause hair loss. Hypothyroidism causing hair loss can be controlled by supplying the hair with natural oils that are rich in hair vitamins and proteins that help strengthen hair fibers, reducing damage and loss. Hygiene is also to be given special attention. Hair loss in the presence of hypothyroidism may also be speeded up by poor hygiene. It is recommended that people suffering from this condition maintains strict hair and skin hygiene, removing the chances of bacteria adhering and germinating on the skin to cause skin problems that will result in elevated hair follicle destruction, as well as hair loss. Hormonal imbalances may be a result of stress. It is therefore important that in the treatment of hypothyroidism, one has to look at ways in which stress on the body can be reduced. There are ways in which stress can be reduced, some of which include going for sauna baths and massages. Other recreational activities like watching sports and movies can also be helpful in relaxing the mind and helping keep hormones in control.
