How to physically remove DHT from the Scalp, the Natural Way.
We all know by now that the main culprit in Male Pattern Baldness is genetics, which in turn produces a chemical in our bodies called DHT. DHT resides in the bloodstream. In the scalp, this has a devastating effect on the hair follicles. This chemical suffocates the hair shafts from attaining nutrients and oxygen and as a result the hair follicle shrinks and falls out.
FDA registered medications such as Propecia have been scientifically proven to inhibit the production of this chemical. These DHT inhibitors manipulate the function of hormones so there is a reduction of DHT being produced. As a result, hair loss reduces. However, there has been a lot of speculation in terms of how safe these products are and the numerous side effects that come along with it. Over the course of time there have been reports of patients experiencing sexual health problems and the only source of the issue seems to be Propecia.
Consequently, many people are now turning towards safer, natural and alternative methods in removing DHT from the scalp. One such approach is called Cupping. Cupping is a holistic approach which involves using plastic cups on the head and with small, light incisions removes congestion, stagnation and toxins such as DHT from the scalp.
The basic concept behind cupping is suction.
First of all a plastic cup is placed on the scalp and using a hand held plastic pump, suction is applied so that a vacuum is created. This is left on the scalp for a few minutes. This is called Dry Cupping. Then the cup is removed by pinching the valve attached to the end of the cup. The pressure is released and the cup is removed.
After applying antiseptic spray to the area, small, light incisions are made on the point using a sterilised blade. Note: the incisions are very light and are not painful and do not lead to any permanent scarring.
Once this has been done then the cup is placed back on the same area and using the plastic pump again suction is applied creating a vacuum and the cup collects all the bad blood, chemicals and toxins including DHT into the cup. The blood in the cup will be congealed and often very dark in colour. It is a dark, "jelly" like substance and is abnormal and not part of actual blood in the bloodstream. Also we are removing any kind of stagnation of excess heat and pressure which shows when the cup becomes cloudy.
The cup is removed from the scalp and the bad blood is disposed of. The cup is placed back on the scalp on the same point and cupping is repeated. Two points are done on the scalp. One on the crown of the head and the other on the back of the head. This is sufficient as the deep tissue massage performed as a precursor improves the circulation in the scalp so that the toxins collected from these points are from all over the scalp.
This brings about normalisation and removes excess DHT and toxins in the scalp which allows the hair follicles to “breathe” and attain the nutrients and oxygen that they have been deprived of. No chemicals, pills or lotions are involved in the treatment. Thereupon, hair loss reduces and thicker, stronger hair is produced.
Nowadays in modern science there are strict governing bodies controlling alternative therapies in the UK so the public can feel safe and assured they’re in the right hands when experimenting with new therapies. Clinics are providing natural and alternative treatments that don’t harm the bodies in any molecular or hormonal ways. So instead of rushing towards popping that pill consider a natural approach to rescuing your hair.
