How to Stimulate Hair Growth

Massage and aromatherapy can help some people to stimulate hair growth. Massage improves blood and oxygen flow to the scalp, helping your hair to grow faster.

Try this formula to stimulate the scalp: blend 6 drops of both lavender and bay essential oils in a base of 4 ounces of either almond, soybean or sesame oil. Massage the mixture into the scalp and leave it for 20 minutes.

After this time, wash your hair and scalp with your regular shampoo but add 3 drops of bay essential oil.

Bhringaraj oil or brahmi oil applied to the scalp often stimulate hair growth. The Ayurvedic herbs ashwagandha and amla are also reported to have the same effect.

Herbs which could be considered to help with hair growth include:

Rosemary; Ginkgo; horsetail tea; Han Lian Cao; tincture or infused oil of Arnica; Birch oil in combination with Queen of the Meadow oil.

Aromatherapy recipe for stimulating hair growth:

3 drops of rosemary essential oil
3 drops of lavender essential oil
3 drops of thyme essential oil
3 drops of cedarwood essential oil
1/8 cup of jojoba oil
1/8 cup of grapeseed oil

Mix the ingredients together and apply several drops of the mixture to areas of hair loss every night, massaging gently into scalp for three to five minutes.
