Saw palmetto is a fruit from the native American Serenoa Repens tree. Native Americans have utilised it for millennia as a natural cure for a variety of diseases. It has gained popularity in recent years as a natural supplement for prostate health and urinary tract disorders. And now, you probably saw it coming: Saw palmetto is on its way to rescue people with hair thinning issues.
1
Potential Health Benefits of Saw Palmetto, Including How It Helps with Hair Loss
Many people who use saw palmetto as a hair care supplement may be unaware of how effective it is. Even though saw palmetto is unfamiliar to many of us, it has a long history of use in folk medicine. It has been used therapeutically ever since ancient times.
The Native Americans used saw palmetto for both its nutritional and therapeutic value. Reproductive issues, coughs, and other ailments were all treated with it. Also, it seems the ancient Egyptians were using it medicinally as early as the 15th century BC. Here are some further benefits that this one-of-a-kind plant can provide to the human body:
Reduce inflammation
Inflammation is a normal reaction of the immune system to damage or infection, but it can become chronic and contribute to a variety of disorders, including asthma, arthritis, cancer, and cardiovascular disease.
Lately, saw palmetto has also been investigated for its potential anti-inflammatory properties. Many chemicals present in palmetto extract have been demonstrated to inhibit enzymes implicated in inflammatory processes, including cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and lipoxygenase (LOX). Moreover, studies have shown that this extract can inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1 (IL-1), tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-), and interleukin 6 (IL-6) (IL-6). In addition, it has been discovered that saw palmetto increases levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 10. (IL-10). The beta-sitosterol, a fatty acid derivative, is the main active ingredient in saw palmetto extract too, which can help to reduce inflammation in the prostate.
Lessen the symptoms of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) & testosterone level
In addition to its anti-inflammatory properties, saw palmetto reduces testosterone and dihydrotestosterone levels. As these hormones are associated with inflammation, saw palmetto may reduce inflammation indirectly by reducing their amounts. This is particularly essential for men with BPH, as it can improve symptoms without the need for surgery or medication.
Saw palmetto inhibits enzymes implicated in inflammatory pathways and suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokines, while boosting anti-inflammatory cytokines. Moreover, it reduces testosterone levels, which can aid in reducing inflammation-related symptoms. Thus, palmetto serves as an efficient natural therapy for inflammatory diseases.
Improve prostate function and keep the urinary tract healthy
There is research that indicates saw palmetto can successfully alleviate lower urinary tract symptoms in males by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which aids in the production of DHT (dihydrotestosterone) and contributes to prostate enlargement. In addition to reducing inflammation associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), saw palmetto increases overall urine flow rates and decreases overnight urination. In addition, it may protect against bladder cancer, particularly when taken with other therapies or dietary modifications.
May prevent hair loss
It is believed that saw palmetto is beneficial for hair loss because it can stop androgenetic alopecia, the medical term for male and female pattern hair loss. It is believed that the fatty acids and sterols in saw palmetto berry extract can aid in the treatment of pattern baldness, thin hair, and the thickening of existing hair. Saw palmetto's active ingredients are thought to stop DHT and androgen molecules from binding to and affecting hair follicles. This stops hair from getting thinner and falling out.
Studies have also shown that saw palmetto can help reduce inflammation and improve blood flow to the scalp and hair follicles. This can help promote new hair growth and make hair look thicker and healthier. Saw palmetto may also help lower androgen levels in men with male pattern baldness because it stops testosterone from turning into DHT. This decrease in androgens makes hair look healthier and fuller.
Also, saw palmetto has been shown to raise the levels of antioxidants like Vitamin E and lycopene in the body. Antioxidants like Vitamin E and lycopene are natural anti-inflammatories that can protect the body from damage caused by free radicals. These antioxidants can also help keep blood pressure in a healthy range and reduce oxidative stress, which hurts our bodies at the cellular level. All of these things help keep hair from falling out and improve the health of the scalp as a whole.

The Different Forms of Saw Palmetto
Extract of saw palmetto has been used for centuries in traditional medicine. In recent years, it has been investigated and extracted to determine its health benefits. Herbal supplements made from the berries of a palm tree, which have been used for generations in traditional medicine, are believed to have numerous health benefits.
The most common form of saw palmetto is an extract of the berry-like fruit of the saw palmetto tree. This unique plant has the potential to provide health benefits regardless of its form. This extract contains fatty acids, plant sterols, and phytochemicals believed to improve prostate health and combat urinary system issues. It is available in capsule or tablet form and can be administered orally or topically.
A second form of saw palmetto is a powder made by pulverising the tree's berries and leaves. This powder's benefits can be obtained by sprinkling it on food or incorporating it into beverages or smoothies. The powder typically has a slightly sweet taste that many people enjoy.
In addition to these forms, oil extracts derived from the berries and leaves of the saw palmetto tree can be directly applied to the skin or hair to treat baldness or thinning hair, scalp irritation, and acne-prone skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis. Due to its inherent antioxidant properties, saw palmetto oil may also offer sun protection.
Saw palmetto is also available in topical treatments that can be massaged directly into sore muscles and painful conditions such as arthritis pain, gout pain, tendinitis pain, and bursitis pain.
When applied to the skin, these creams typically contain a variety of natural compounds that have a calming effect, such as menthol, camphor, eucalyptus oil, wintergreen oil, ginger root extract, chamomile flower extract, peppermint essential oil, oregano essential oil, etc.

How to Use Saw Palmetto for Hair Loss?
After knowing the different forms of saw palmetto, you can consider taking it as a topical and oral supplement. Here are three methods for using saw palmetto to treat hair loss:
As natural supplements
Saw palmetto supplements are available in capsule form and can be taken with food once or twice daily. Clinical studies have shown that taking saw palmetto orally can inhibit DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a hormone associated with male pattern baldness, and may promote hair regrowth after 6-12 months of treatment.
Try topical saw palmetto
To apply saw palmetto topically, combine 2-3 drops of an extract with 1 teaspoon of warm carrier oil, such as almond oil, and massage it directly into the scalp. Allow it to sit for thirty minutes before shampooing with a gentle shampoo. Regular topical applications of saw palmetto may reduce inflammation, stimulate scalp blood flow, and inhibit DHT, thereby promoting healthy hair growth.
As hair rinse
To nourish the scalp and encourage healthy hair development, make a herbal hair rinse with saw palmetto berries or an extract powder blended with herbs such as rosemary and horsetail. Just infuse 1 tablespoon of dry herbs in 1 quart of hot water for 15 minutes, drain, and allow the concoction to cool before using. Pour the herbal rinse over your head after shampooing and massage it in before rinsing with cold water for maximum results.
Using saw palmetto for hair loss can slow down hair thinning and promote new growth when used consistently over time in conjunction with other methods such as eating a balanced diet and using natural shampoos free of harsh parabens or sulphates that can strip away essential oils from your scalp's surface layer, resulting in unhealthy dryness or dandruff buildup that can inhibit healthy hair growth.
Using oral supplements or topical treatments containing saw palmetto extract, as well as a frequent herbal scalp rinse, could help you attain naturally thicker and longer hair!

The Bottom Line: Side Effects You Should Know When You Use Saw Palmetto for Hair Loss
The relationship between saw palmetto and hair loss requires additional study, but preliminary results are promising. No matter how good it is, you should not add it to your hair care routine until you are aware of the potential side effects, especially if you are a woman.
Saw palmetto is not advised for children or women who are pregnant or nursing. Rare adverse effects include mild headaches and stomach discomfort. Since it can help with the thinning of blood, saw palmetto may cause excessive bleeding during surgery. Before beginning a new treatment or undergoing surgery, you must always inform your physician of any supplements you are taking.
So, there may be drug interactions involving saw palmetto. Saw palmetto should never be combined with other blood-thinning medications because it has been shown to thin the blood. In particular, it should not be combined with aspirin or prescription drugs such as warfarin.
Saw palmetto has a similar effect to finasteride, a medication used to treat hair loss and an enlarged prostate. Unless your doctor prescribes it, you should not take them together. Because of its interaction with hormones, saw palmetto may diminish the effectiveness of oral contraceptives.
It is also worth noting that in 2002, the Danish Institute of Food and Veterinary Research (DFVF) conducted a safety review of saw palmetto research and concluded that there were concerns regarding its effect on the hormonal system, long-term use, and dosage levels in foods or supplements, despite the herbs' international use and absence of adverse effects.
In addition, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has instructed food business operators (FBOs) involved in the manufacturing of health supplements and nutraceuticals, foods for special dietary use and special medical purposes, and functional and novel foods, governed by the Nutraceutical Regulation, to stop using 14 ingredients lacking scientific data for safe usage, one of which is saw palmetto.

What Can I Do Besides Using Natural Hair Supplement?
Despite the fact that saw palmetto is often sold as a natural herbal supplement that encourages healthy hair regrowth, it normally takes between one and five years to detect changes after taking hair growth supplements. Even with supplements, it would take a new hair around 5 to 6 years to reach shoulder length.
Unfortunately, not everyone can wait that long, especially those seeking more effective ways in treating hair loss and methods to boost hair density. So, the majority of individuals may require the assistance of current technology that can treat thinning hair more successfully.
Among most of the competitors and methods on market, low-level laser therapy (also known as laser hair growth treatment) has gained popularity in recent years due to its ability to treat hair loss and stimulate regrowth by improving blood flow and stimulating new hair growth. According to scientific research, they can promote tissue healing and regeneration. As a result, it is often used to treat wounds and scars too.
These devices function by emitting light that permeates the scalp. Many feel that this light stimulates hair growth by increasing blood circulation. Be it male pattern hair loss or female pattern hair loss, you may consider laser technology as a more promising method in treating hair loss, and here's a well-known treatment that gives promising hair growth outcomes if you have thinning hair issues.

Then, using the F8 Hair Regrowth Therapy handpiece, the therapist spreads low-level laser energy evenly across the scalp to stimulate hair follicles and hair papilla.
