Powerful Grey Hair Natural Remedies

Here are the best grey hair natural remedies that are known to quickly reverse graying hair without the need for any toxic and unnatural looking hair dyes…

To get rid of grey hair you need a combination of internal and external treatments. Internal treatments are the most important, simply because if you do have gray hair then you actually have more sinister and life threatening things going on inside of you!

Grey Hair Can be a Warning Sign for Stroke

The main cause of grey hair is a lack of the essential nutrients, especially vitamin A and B group vitamins, along with the minerals copper, iron and zinc. Copper in particular is not only necessary for hair pigmentation, it is needed by the body to maintain the health of the artery walls and without it you end up with what’s known as elastic fibre breakdown. When this occurs the arterial walls become weak, eventually causing an aneurism (the ballooning of an artery or blood vessel). This is a life threatening condition as it can burst, resulting in either severe stroke or death.

A good case in point is Albert Einstein. If you ever saw pictures of him in his later years you would instantly recognise his bright silver grey hair.

Einstein died of a ruptured aneurism!

Supplements That are Potent Grey Hair Natural Remedies…

So your first course of action to treating gray hair is to start taking a good liquid colloidal mineral supplement. These contain all the minerals your body needs in a highly absorbable form. You may also need to take extra colloidal copper until your grey hair recedes.

Also take black strap molasses as this is rich in essential vitamins and minerals (many people swear by this supplement as a natural remedy for grey hair), along with the very powerful Fo-ti herb, which actually translates to “black-haired Mr. He” (black haired man) in Chinese. This herb has been reported to reverse grey hair very quickly for many people (you can read some positive testimonials here). With Fo-ti, you can either take supplements, or buy it as a tea, or actually buy the root and make your own tea everyday.

In addition to these, cereal grasses such as wheat and barley grass are an excellent source of vitamin A and the B group vitamins along with copper, iron, silica and zinc and should also be supplemented with everyday. You can click on the links on this website or visit your local health food store to purchase any of these supplements.

And finally, remember this important point about curing your grey hair… if the bad stuff’s going away on the outside, it’s definitely going away on the inside as well!!

You May Have to Look a Bit Different for a While

As your gray hair recedes you will find your natural colour grows from the roots outward. This can make your hair look a bit strange at first but stick with it and eventually your hair will return back to its original colour.

The most important thing is to not worry about what other people think.

I remember quite a few years ago working with a guy who was very paranoid about his greying hair. I suggested he start taking a liquid colloidal mineral supplement and cereal grass – which he did. As his hair colour began to return to normal the people he worked with started to make fun of his hair, calling him “Mr Grecian 2000”. The sad part is he actually listened to them and stopped taking the supplements. (All of a sudden he decided he looked better with gray hair). I tried to tell him that by curing his grey hair he was also curing the damage that was going on inside his body, but unfortunately, he didn’t listen. I often wonder how healthy he is today or if he is even still alive.

Topical Grey Hair Natural Remedies You May Want to Use…

So now you know how to treat and cure your grey hair permanently. But if you really don’t like the idea of having different pigmented hair until your original colour returns, here are some topical home remedies to help speed up the process and hide those unwanted grey’s…

Onion Juice Mixed With Lemon Juice is a Powerful Grey Hair Natural Remedy: Onion juice is rich in the enzyme catalase and has been used for centuries as a topical treatment and home remedy for grey hair. In fact, herbalists have been advising their patients to rub onions on their scalps to cure grey hair long before any hair dyes were ever invented!

Back in 2009, Bradford University in the UK discovered that a build up of hydrogen peroxide in the hair follicles and scalp caused thinning and grey hair. They also discovered that the catalase enzyme neutralizes hydrogen peroxide and reverses grey hair.

So rubbing onions and onion juice mixed with lemon on your scalp everyday is a very potent natural remedy for grey hair (the only down side is of course the smell). Wheat grass and barley grass are also rich in catalase so mix up a paste and rub this onto your scalp everyday as well.

Gooseberries as a Gray Hair Cure: You actually drink gooseberry juice every day along with mixing up a combination of dried gooseberries and coconut or almond oil, which you then rub and massage into your scalp every night. The best type of gooseberry if you can find it is the Indian gooseberry known as “amia”.

Henna – Another Very Good Natural Remedy for Grey Hair: Mix up some castor oil and lemon juice until it goes frothy then add some henna. Apply the mixture to your hair and scalp and leave it on for at least an hour before washing and shampooing your hair. Repeat every day.

Rosemary and Sage – Excellent Home Remedy for Gray Hair: Take half a cup of rosemary and half a cup of sage and boil in water for 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 2–3 hours then apply to hair and scalp. Leave on until it dries then shampoo off with natural shampoo. Repeat every week and eventually all grey hair will be gone.

Black Seed Oil and Olive Oil Are Also Excellent Grey Hair Natural Remedies: Black seed oil and olive oil have both been used for thousands of years to treat and cure gray hair. The other big benefit of using black seed and olive oil is they make your hair look shiny and healthy and also promote the growth of new hair follicles. Simply mix up an equal amount of olive oil and black seed oil and massage into the scalp. Wash out with warm water after an hour. Repeat daily. You can also take black seed oil internally for extra benefit. A teaspoon twice a day will do the trick.

Grey Hair Natural Remedies – Things to Avoid…

This last home remedy for grey hair is very important. Make sure you stay away from all chemical shampoos, hair colourings and dyes. These nasty products not only damage your hair and scalp, they can literally kill you with their toxic poisons! Only ever use completely natural shampoos and conditioners (you need to get good at reading labels).

Also avoid all processed foods and coffee as these leach valuable nutrients such as copper, iron and zinc from the body. Instead, substitute coffee for green tea (it’s no coincidence that you rarely see a Japanese person under the age of 60 with grey hair and they also happen to be the biggest consumers of green tea in the world) along with eating plenty of organic fruits, vegetables and herbs such as garlic if possible.

Finally, avoid smoking and stress. Not only are these two of the biggest killers in the world today, they actually contribute to grey hair more than anything else!

New research finds that gray hair and vitiligo may share a common cause and solution.

An April 2013 study will no doubt leave the hair dye industry seeing red.

According to a joint group of researchers at Germany’s Institute for Pigmentary Disorders at E.M. Arndt University of Greifswald and the UK’s Centre for Skin Sciences at the University of Bradford, they’ve come across a cure for gray hair.

First, a mini science lesson: Gray hair is the result of oxidative stress that causes hydrogen peroxide to accumulate in the hair follicle. In response, the hair strand then essentially bleaches itself, from the inside out.

In the study, the process appears to be thwarted with the application of a topical complex called PC-KUS, which converts hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. The research also revealed that the compound worked similar magic for a group of 2,411 patients with the skin condition known as vitiligo, which is marked by white patches on the skin caused by pigment loss.

Could it really be true—finally, a cure for gray hair?

Quite possibly, says Joshua Zeichner, M.D., director of cosmetic and clinical research at Mount Sinai Medical Center’s department of dermatology.

“The idea that loss of pigmentation in the hair and skin are related is extremely interesting on a basic science level,” he says. “The traditional treatment of gray hair with hair dye is cosmetic and doesn’t get to the root of the problem,” he explains. “A treatment that prevents or reverses the underlying graying process would revolutionize our approach to hair care.”

While the news may have blondes, redheads and brunettes of every tone rejoicing worldwide, the news is also groundbreaking for patients who suffer from vitiligo, a common condition that significantly impacts quality of life, says Zeichner.

And the findings once again show how oxidative stress plays a role in many diseases, from cancer and heart disease, to wrinkles and now even gray hair.

“The role of oxidative stress in depigmenting conditions further reinforces the need for antioxidants, both topically applied and ingested through a healthy diet,” advises Zeichner.

Luckily, there’s no deprivation here; antioxidants are often a deliciously sweet and energizing diet addition. Simply serve up another helping of super antioxidant-rich foods like blueberries, strawberries, Red Delicious and Granny Smith apples, cherries and green tea. If you’re a fan of beans, red, kidney and pinto varieties pack the most antioxidant punch.

This potentially life-changing news is still in the research stage, but we’ll be sure to report back the second there’s a treatment available.
