Article: Although more scientific studies are needed, onion juice may promote hair growth in patients who suffer from alopecia areata. According to a small study of 23 participants, applying crude onion juice to the scalp twice a day promoted hair regrowth within six weeks in 20 participants.  Although this study was done in patient with alopecia areata, you may want to give it a try if you suffer from androgenic alopecia. Extract onion juice by grating an onion and then straining the juice. Apply onion juice to your scalp twice a day for 30 min, then wash off. Try this for at least six weeks to see if this natural method will help your hair loss. Massaging your scalp will increase blood flow to the hair follicles, which can promote scalp health and strengthen your hair’s roots. However, this method has not been scientifically proven to reduce or prevent hair loss and you should try it with that in mind.  Use coconut or almond hair oil, or other oils such as olive, castor, or amla (Indian gooseberry) oil. Optionally, you can add a few drops of rosemary oil or lavender oil to make a mixture. Apply the oil by lightly massaging it into your hair and scalp. If you are using coconut oil, do not try to melt the oil using a microwave, use your hands instead. Coconut oil does not need much heat to melt. Repeat at least twice a week for a minimum of two months to see some results. Fenugreek (also called methi) seeds contain ingredients that may stimulate hair growth and enhance rebuilding of hair follicles.  Mix one cup of fenugreek seeds and water. Let it soak overnight. Grind the mixture and make a paste that you then can apply to your hair. Cover with a plastic bag or shower cap and let it sit for about 40 minutes. Rinse your hair and repeat every morning for a month. As with the other natural therapies for hair loss, this method has not been scientifically proven to reduce or prevent hair loss and it might not work for you. There are numerous other home or natural remedies you can try. However, keep in mind that these are not scientifically proven methods and might not work. Always consult your doctor if you have doubts about a home remedy.  Try aloe vera gel, which may help optimize your scalps pH and promote healthy hair growth. Massage aloe vera gel to the scalp and leave it on for an hour. Wash off and repeat three to four times a week. Try licorice root paste, which has properties that may help soothe the scalp and help reduce irritation. Mix ground licorice root (1 tablespoon), saffron (quarter teaspoon) and a cup of milk. Apply the mixture on bald areas, cover and leave it on overnight. Rinse off in the morning and repeat once or twice a week. Try Chinese hibiscus flower that may help promote hair growth, cure dandruff, and thicken hair. Mix flowers with coconut oil, heat until charred and strain to collect the oil. Apply to the scalp at bedtime and leave it on for overnight. In the morning, wash your hair and repeat a few times a week. Other remedies you can also try include beetroot, flaxseeds or coconut milk.

The ugly duckling method is especially useful for people who have a lot of moles, particularly if some of those moles are benign irregular moles. Because melanomas look different from regular moles, compare all of your moles to each other. Any mole that looks different from the rest is suspicious and needs to be checked.  Consider the size and shape of your moles to see if one is bigger or smaller. The suspicious mole should stand out in appearance from the others. Look at the color of your moles to check for an odd one. For example, if all of your moles are dark brown, but a light brown mole has appeared, then get that one checked out. A suspicious mole may have more than one color and up to three, brown, light brown and purplish. Anytime you get a new mole or lesion, have it checked out. Sometimes a new mole is benign, but it’s also a risk factor for melanomas.  New moles or lesions are more questionable if you don’t have many moles. People with few moles are less likely to develop a new one that is benign. New moles can be more questionable in elderly people. Symptomatic moles have issues that are atypical of normal moles, such as bleeding, itching, or hurting. If you have one mole that starts to show symptoms, make an appointment to get it checked.
