The easiest and most promising natural treatment for alopecia areata is a combination of essential oils. A clinical trial at the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in Scotland enrolled 84 individuals who massaged either essential oils or a non-treatment oil into their scalps every night for 7 months. At the end of the study, 44 percent of the treatment group experienced new hair growth compared to only 15 percent in the control group. The treatment oil, frequently referred to as the alopecia aromatherapy recipe, contained essential oils of cedarwood, lavender, rosemary, and thyme.

You can read it in my book, Healing without Medication, but here’s the alopecia aromatherapy recipe for your convenience.

You need essential oils of cedarwood, lavender, rosemary, and thyme, 3 drops of each in a tablespoon of jojoba oil. Apply the mixture to bald areas of the scalp nightly.

Simple, isn’t it?

And these four essential oils are not the only herbal therapy for alopecia.

Khellin is a gentler alternative to treatment with prescription anthralin creams or ointments. Anthralin was originally a coal tar derivative. It is irritating to the skin to which it is applied, hands, and eyes. It also leaves a brown stain. Khellin is activated by exposure to ultraviolet light, so it is essential to expose the scalp to sun or a sun lamp for at least 30 minutes a day while taking the herb.

Khellin can cause nausea and stomach upset, but this side effect usually subsides after the first week of treatment. About two-thirds of people who take the herb experience no unpleasant side effects of any kind.

Global warming impact: candle vs. energy efficient lightbulbs???

Just curious, if I used an oil-burning lamp to make my way around the home, would it be better than turning on energy-efficient bulbs from room to room? The oil burning lamp would use a fossil fuel and emit CO, but the lights in each room would have the energy use of the “big draw” when you first turn them on. And if energy efficients are better, would nuclear power plants have more or less global impact than coal-burning ones?

If you are just “going room to room” why not use a LED flashlight with rechargeable batteries? NOt much energy use there. Or put “low glow low wattage” night lights along the floor? If burning lamp oil, you are actually using kerosene which is a fairly high grade fuel and was refined and processed. If using a candle, you are actually using the last little bits left over from all the cracking processes of a barrel of oil. What else could we do with it? So burning it is probably not such a bad thing.

If you are really into either using candles or burning lamp oil you might look into getting a candle heater (see heatstick.com) that actually converts the heat of a candle into dry radiant space heat. Then you would get both light and heat from the candle.

France is running almost 80 per cent of electrical need on nuclear power — that is huge! Not sure exactly how they are handling the by-products, but they have obviously got the nuclear power plant pretty well dialed in. I can not remember a major nuclear power incident in France, can you?

I think you may be more “earth friendly” using the candle or lamp — but mainly because it keeps your awareness up there. You are doing something to make (create) the light you need — you are directly involved. Flicking a switch is so easy it makes us think that everything should be like that, just push a button (or whatever) to get our needs met. The carbon impact of your question is probably a wash, especially since the house you are in already has the wiring. So I would suggest that you do what seems to be the best at the moment. Just don’t forget to turn the lights off, and always be cautious of an open flame.
