A high level of stress in our modern lifestyle is not uncommon and like all the other systems within the body, it affects hair too. Stress causes the overproduction of the hormone cortisol from the adrenal glands. Cortisol, in turn, causes hair loss and slows down the growth of hair. One of the best remedies for stress related hair loss is the herb, Ashwagandha. When applied on the scalp, it helps increase antioxidants, reduce cortisol and produces melanin which is required for the growth of new hair.
