Homeopathy is a complementary therapy. Homeopaths claim that like cures like. Essentially, homeopaths believe that if a substance causes a disease, then you can cure it by taking a very minute, diluted amount of the same substance.

The herb Chaste berry (Vitex agnus castus) does not contain progesterone, but it may indirectly help you produce progesterone over the course of several months by stimulating your pituitary gland to produce LH. Chaste berry has unpleasant side effects, such as an itchy skin rash, nausea, dry mouth, digestive upset, hair loss, headaches, rapid heartbeat, and bleeding between periods. Vitex is called chaste berry and monk’s pepper because it was used for centuries to reduce libido. Do not use chaste berry if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have endometriosis, fibroids, cancer of the ovaries or breast, schizophrenia, or Parkinson’s disease. It is unsafe to take chaste berry in conjunction with these prescription drugs: bromocriptine; cabergoline; carbidopa-levodopa; chlorpromazine; Clozaril®; Haldol®; Mirapex®; oral contraceptives; Reglan®; Requip®; Risperdal®; Seroquel®; thioridazine; trifluoperazine; and Zyprexa®. Inform your doctor and pharmacist that you are taking chaste berry before starting any new medication to avoid adverse drug interactions.
Types of Hair Loss
Alopecia is the general term for human hair loss, either on the body or on the head. As we know, hair loss mostly occurs in men, but certain conditions may cause women to lose some or all of their hair too. The most common type of hair loss, however, is Male Pattern Hair Loss, which – as the name suggests – is a typically male affliction. MPHL usually starts at the temples or on the crown of the head and causes the hair to progressively thin out over the course of a number of years. Eventually, this could lead to complete baldness or – more commonly – loss of hair on the top surface of the scalp.
Medical Solution for Hair Loss
There is a wide range of treatments on the market today, which claim to combat hair loss, ranging from specialist shampoos to hair transplants. These ‘solutions’ can be very costly and are often ineffective at best, especially in the long term. If you suffer from hair loss, the best thing to do is turn to your doctor for professional advice combined with prescribed medication.
One of the most effective medications for reducing Male Pattern Hair Loss and stimulating hair growth is Finasteride.
Parkinson’s disease is a debilitating condition that affects the lives of millions of people across the globe and severely limits their ability to function on a daily basis. Generic Eldepryl (Selegiline) can restore some of these functions, such as the ability to move, walk, dress and exercise. At the same time this medication improves certain symptoms of the disease, such as shakiness, muscle stiffness and the inability to move. Generic Eldepryl (Selegiline) also helps prevent so-called “on-off problems”, the constant switching between normal movement and stiffness. This medication is usually taken in combination with other treatments against Parkinson’s.
