I was diagnosed (via a scalp biopsy) with Androgenetic Alopecia that was triggered by an episode of Telogen Effluvium. I've been dealing with hair loss for about 2 years now, but I have finally started to see serious regrowth in the last few months. I have cats, so I cannot take minoxidil (and I didn't want to have to take such a heavy pharmaceutical for the rest of my life to maintain my hair growth). I did start taking a low dose of spironolactone as prescribed by my derm as well as using all of these products consistently. In addition to the scalp and hair treatments, I also massively increased my protein and omega-3 intake. If you are also on a hair loss journey, I wish you all the best and I hope something here helps you as much as it has me. Losing hair can be emotionally devastating it was intensely traumatizing for me. Take good care of yourself and know that it is possible to see results with consistency <3

Tea has always been a comfort to me. Once I started peri-menopause I searched for natural ways to help relieve symptoms such as insomnia, hot flashes, & anxiety. The more research I did, I found that many herbs were studied and have shown to have helped these very symptoms and much more. Herbs are God’s gift to us. We should be receiving this gift! So many herbs, plants, roots, and more grow in our own backyard already. Tea has been beloved for centuries, and for good reason. Cheers to comfort and health!

This list contains my go-to items for self-care and relaxation. Self-care includes taking care of body, mind and spirit and all of these items have helped me in some way. I hope they help you, too!

Not all of these will apply to you, but I have faith that they will give you that ‘secret sauce’ you've been looking for.
