Can these techniques help with telogen effluvium?
Yes. Telogen effluvium, including chronic telogen effluvium (CTE) usually develops slowly (over many years) due to a nutritional deficiency, especially iron. Male and female vegetarians as well as women who experience heavy periods (i.e., involving a large loss of blood) are most at risk of CTE. Treatment using nutritional supplements (iron, L-lysine and vitamin C) may be recommended. However, it will take time to recover your iron levels. So it naturally follows that it will also take time for healthy hair growth to return. Once you start correcting your nutritional deficiency, there’s no reason why you should be losing any more hair. These techniques will encourage your dormant hair follicles to rapidly start growing healthy hair again. Back to Top of Page – reversing thinning hair and skull expansion FAQ.
