earthly matters

by Martine Carlina

Over half of all men will suffer some form of male pattern hair loss over their lifetime. Most of these will be due to genetic factors, which are referred to AGA or androgenic alopecia.

Although genetics play a big part in AGA, it is also thought to be influenced by a hormone imbalance which stems from the conversion of testosterone to DHT (dihydrotestosterone) in aging men. High levels of DHT prevent vital nutrients from reaching the scalp and can contribute to thinning hair.

Fenugreek has a rich history in the treatment of the hair and scalp. In ancient India a mixture of coconut milk, black pepper and fenugreek powder was mixed and applied to the scalp to enhance hair growth. As hair strength can be adversely affected by a protein poor diet, fenugreek’s unique mix of chemical constituents and bioavailable proteins can help correct this deficiency and promote a thicker hair shaft and increase the strength of the hair.
