The document describes how hair and plants are symbolically linked in Indo-European traditions, leading to practices like burying hair to promote plant growth and using plants to treat baldness.
Managing hair loss with treatments such as finasteride, minoxidil and microneedling. Advice is given to not overfeed or overwater, and to make sure the tiller is clean.
A 21-year-old experienced hormone changes after using self-made topical finasteride for hair loss, including a 20% decrease in DHT, a 47% increase in testosterone, and a 39% increase in estradiol. The user previously used minoxidil and microneedling but is now seeking ways to balance hormones, possibly through supplements or dosage adjustments.
The conversation is about someone who initially had positive results with Minoxidil for hair loss, lost those gains due to a hospital stay, and is now not seeing the same results upon resuming treatment. They plan to add microneedling and/or tretinoin to their regimen and are seeking success stories from others who did not respond to Minoxidil alone.
The conversation is about a user experiencing positive hair regrowth results after using finasteride, minoxidil spray, dermapen, and low-level light therapy (LLLT) for four months. The user recommends using a specific device for LLLT and mentions using the Hims spray for finasteride and minoxidil.
Finasteride stops hair loss by blocking DHT, while Minoxidil promotes hair growth by increasing blood flow to hair follicles. Using both can help regrow hair, but results vary by individual.
