Thyroid dysfunction and hair loss.

[Guest guest]

NaturalNews) Vitamin E is a vital nutrient known mainly for its benefits to

heart health. But vitamin E has many other properties that maintain health and

has long been used both internally and externally. Vitamin E has been shown to

help with the growth of hair as well as preventing hair loss. The exact

mechanism is not known but vitamin E may prevent hair loss by the same mechanism

that it prevents heart problems. Vitamin E helps with the growth of capillaries.

When there are more capillaries, the circulation improves and it is thought that

the improved circulation to the scalp is the trigger for preventing hair loss.

Vitamin E Grows Hair

Because it causes capillary growth, vitamin E can help hair to grow. The

increased circulation speeds the growth of hair in many people. The additional

nutrition can prevent split ends, help heal hair damaged by excessive use of a

hair dryer, and cure dry hair as well.

Vitamin E Heals Dry Hair

Vitamin E can be used as a leave-on conditioner for dry and damaged hair. A

small amount daily will treat dry hair and heal the hair shafts. It is always

better to add nutrition to the diet, but for those with very dry hair and scalp,

adding a small amount of vitamin E to the hair after shampooing will remedy dry

hair, if not treat the cause. To treat the cause, the vitamins need to be taken

internally. To make a healing mask of vitamin E, cut open a number of capsules

with a small scissors and blend into the hair. Completely cover the ends of the

hair, so it feels oily. Leave on for an hour or longer, and then shampoo out for

silky, manageable hair.

Daily Recommended Dosage of Vitamin E

The recommended daily dose of vitamin E is 400 IU a day according to the website

www.all4naturalhealth.com. Doses of vitamin E above 1000 IU a day may be toxic

and doses over 10,000 IU a day taken over time have been shown to cause the loss

of hair. The hair will grow back when the overdosing stops.

Natural Sources of Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that is found naturally in vegetable oils,

dark leafy greens, liver, eggs, and nuts. To supplement vitamin E, add these

foods to your diet or purchase nutritional supplements

I thought some of you may find this interesting. I can also vouch for the fact

that Liquid vitamin E oil can prevent the pain of a burn - say you burn your

finger run under cold tap and then put an ample amount of Vitamin E oil on the

burn and cover with a piece of clean tissue or kitchen roll and low and behold

the pain will disappear and will not cause a blister if you get to the burn

quick enough,.
