What Causes Hair Loss in Women?

Published under Health by George Mole. No Comments .

Hair loss in women is a major cause of concern for them because women are more vain than men. For women, their hair is a huge part of their looks and thinning hair or hair loss can cause stress and depression. The cause of female hair loss can be linked to many things. There are many possible reasons why a woman may have hair loss or thinning hair and these can be natural causes or due to exposure to factors that can trigger hair loss.

The outside factors that may be the cause of female hair loss can be an illness, medications, childbirth, trauma of surgery and some other diseases. Exposure to some chemicals and elements may also contribute as a cause of female hair loss but these are rare cases and can almost always be diagnosed immediately.

Actually, hair loss is expected every day because of the normal growth cycle of hair. This growth cycle is every two to six years wherein the hair grows until such time that it reaches a rest period and then it dies off. It is because of this growth cycle that we shed hair daily. The number of hair strands we shed daily will depend on how many hair strands have reach their peak in their growth cycle.

Some women prefer a specific hairstyle which might be responsible for hair loss. Wearing your hair in a tight ponytail can irritate the hair follicles by continually pulling on the hair. This makes the hair follicle die out and release the hair. This female hair loss cause can be easily rectified by finding a different hairstyle or wearing the hair loose.

Childbirth is one of what causes hair loss in many women. When a woman gets pregnant, her hormones accommodate the baby and secrete more in order to meet the needs of both mother and unborn child. This influx of hormones is what gives expectant mothers their healthy glow and beautiful hair. When childbirth comes, there is no need to saturate the mother with hormones so the body reduces its production. This is what causes hair loss in women who have just given birth.

As you can see, any one of the above can be blamed to the cause of female hair loss. They are easy to spot as they are noticeable factors. Other causes not mentioned here are often the result of outside factors or diseases.

Homeopathy as Alternative Medicine

Published under Health by George Mole. No Comments .

by Mark Archer

What is homeopathy? You may have heard the term but not understood what this approach to health care entailed. You may have confused it with an Eastern art such as aromatherapy. Homeopathy is a European concept that began in the 18th century and was, at one time, more highly regarded than traditional medicine. Today, homeopathy is the second most sought after treatment in the United States next to traditional medicine.

The foundation of homeopathy is the law of similarities. This is similar to the theory behind vaccinations. When you get a vaccination for say, the measles, you get a very small, diluted dose of the disease. Your immune system detects it and fights it off, creating antibodies. The majority of healthy people who get vaccinated will suffer a minor illness which clears quickly. This is because their immune system was stimulated and fought off the disease. Once the disease has been cured by the immune system, you have the antibodies to detect it should you ever come back in contact with it.

Homeopathy is based on those same principals. There are about 30 different remedies that are commonly used in treating a variety of ailments in homeopathy. They are generally a small dose, very heavily diluted, of the same cause of your ailment. Homeopathy depends on the immune system to rally and fight off any disease. This is why any disease cured by homeopathy does not return.

When a patient goes to see a homeopath, the first thing that will happen is the practitioner will take a thorough history of the patient. This history will include the emotional, mental and physical states of the patient, their current life situation as well as any physical or mental illnesses. The homeopath takes all this information and applies it to a formula of all symptoms, likes, dislikes, predispositions and body type. They will then determine the remedy for the problem at hand. You get a tailor made solution for your ailment. An ordinary doctor would just hand out a “one cure all” pill.

Let’s look at cancer, for instance. Traditional medicine uses radiation and chemotherapy to treat cancer. This sickens the entire body in the hope of killing off a few cells, kind of like using a cannon to kill a fly. Homeopathy uses the immune system to fight cancer. It has been shown to be effective in some cases. Studies have shown a medical link between the immune system and cancer. Most people, however choose traditional methods to treat cancer. It is familiar to them. Suzanne Somers, the actress, used homeopathics to treat her breast cancer successfully, even though she was criticized for doing so.

Homeopathy may or may not work on each individual. Most homeopaths believe that disease or ailments come because of a disturbance in the life force. When an ailment refuses the remedies of homeopathy, it is thought that the disease was inherent and would have been unable to be treated even with traditional medicine. This happens often when people, as a last resort, use homeopathy as a way to cure certain diseases after traditional medicine has failed.

Homeopathy is not a new fad, merely it is seeing a resurgance in popularity as more people question the effectiveness of modern medicine.

Solar Power - The Basics

Published under Science by George Mole. No Comments .

by Paul Woods

Solar power is an energy source which is renewable, totally free of charge, non-polluting and always available. Experts have been experimenting for a long time how to make the best and most efficient use of it. Here are some facts about how solar power is being used at the moment.

Solar power is very versatile. By using photo voltaic cells it can be converted into electricity. It can be used directly to heat water. When it is used this way it is known as ‘passive solar’ using it to convert to electricity is known as ‘active solar’. Solar energy is received in a weak form which does make it somewhat limiting. If we are to use it effectively then we have to discover a way of harnessing the power and concentrating it.

In its passive state, solar power has been used for centuries. It has been used for lighting fires, heating water and drying wood. Today, solar water heaters are widely used in places where the sun is available all year round. Addtitionally, there are in existence solar power plants which harness the sun’s energy and concentrate it enough to generate electricity. These power plants are very economical and useful in remote areas where conventional electricity plants are not feasible. It is even being used in satellites and space crafts.

Recently, much interested has been generated in the idea of using solar power as a means to run power motor vehicles. This is still very much at an experimental stage. The huge amount of power required by a car’s engine would mean using very large solar panels. This is impractical due to the size and fragility of the panels. There is also the problem that when the sun is not shining, they wouldn’t run for very long. In this instance, we are along way from using solar power to run our cars.

Solar power demand is on the up but right now the costs prevent it from being a widely used energy means. The technology is available but the cost of converting the solar power into energy is too high. Fuel costs are also rising however which means that solar power will be a viable alternative if this continues. Present day fuels also have an environmental impact and people are becoming more aware of this and want to find environmentally friendly alternatives using clean energy. Manufacturers will find it more feasible to produce solar powered devices because of this rising demand.
