Hair loss can be distressing as well as embarrassing. Causes range from metabolic disorder associated with the spleen, hormonal imbalance, nutrient deficiency, stress, or a malfunction of the immune system. In the case of Alopecia Areata, the body’s immune cells mistakenly attack hair follicles (see castor oil detox.) Hair loss can also be attributed to fungal infections such as candida, molds and yeasts.
