Acne is a
common skin condition that affects both men and women. It occurs when the skin
pores become clogged with sebum from inside the skin. The initial cause of this
clogging is due to the over production of sebum in the oil glands. The symptoms
of this skin condition can vary from inflamed growth, blackheads, and white
heads. Most of the treatments usually involve application of skin ointments
directly to the skin. These ointments are usually manufactured chemically, and
some of them react severely with our skins. Saw palmetto is a natural herb that
is consumed orally to give the perfect remedy for this skin condition, which
has now proved to being a menace. </div>

<b>What is saw palmetto?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Saw Palmetto
is an herb, which decreases the amount of testosterone in the body. It is also
capable of reducing the chances of testosterone becoming dihydrotestosterone. This
herb is derived from the berries of the saw palm tree. This tree looks like a
fern and is native to Florida, which is the only place where it can grow. Saw palmetto
is better known for its ability to treat the severity of acne in both men and
women. According to research, the primary ingredient of this herb includes
plant sterols, flavonoids, and fatty acids. It also contains a high
concentration of polysaccharides, which are used to enhance the immune system
of the body and prevent inflammations.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>How it works</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Several studies
done in the past have proved that oral <a href="http://ruzz.ca/saw-palmetto-acne/">consumption of saw palmetto for acne treatmentmay help reduce the seriousness of hormone</a> driven acne in women and men. Apart from
treating acne, this herb is also capable of treating a number of other ailments
like hormonal imbalance, which is one of the causes of acne. Research has shown
that the moment testosterone is converted to dihydrotestosterone this shift in
hormone is the one responsible for the occurrence of acne. The conversion can
also have other effects like baldness and enlargement of the prostate in men. Therefore,
when saw palmetto reduces the chances of testosterone becoming
dihydrotestosterone it prevents the occurrence of all the above conditions
including acne.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Dosage</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The scientific
community is yet to release the official dosage for saw palmetto. However,
reports from the University of Maryland Medical Center states that taking 160
milligrams two times daily might be effective for the treatment of testosterone
formation and BPH. You should also ensure that the saw palmetto you are buying
contains between 85% to 95% fatty acids and plant sterols for the best results.
Since the drugs affect the hormonal balance, it is best you go for consultation
from you doctor so that he can advise you the best way to take the dosage.</div>

<b>Side effects</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Saw palmetto,
like other drugs has its own side effects. After sometime after taking the
drugs, you may experience mild irritation in the stomach and have several
headaches. Pregnant women are advised against the drug while people who are set
to undergo elective surgery are advised to discontinue their treatments weeks
before surgery.</div>

Saw
palmetto for hair loss has gained popularity for allowing people to maintain healthy
hair without any side effects. It works by preventing dihydrotestosterone (DHT)
production which is a chemical that binds on hair follicles and retards growth or
cuts supply of blood to them. DHT is created by an enzyme known as 5 alpha
reductase. In order to stop hair loss, the production of this chemical has to
be stopped. Saw Palmetto is a plant that is mainly produced in North America
and it is a herbal DHT inhibitor. Its effectiveness has been proven in various clinical
trials as well as experiments and a lot of people have also benefited from it.</div>

Saw palmetto
is a plant that grows berries. It is also known as sererona ripens. Apart from
treating hair loss, it has also been used for treating prostrate for men for a
number of decades. Doctors and hair care experts have recommended it due to its
effectiveness. It also facilitates the creation of new hair strands. Even though
its results have not been scientifically proven, a lot of people across the world
have seen its effects with regards to stopping hair loss. This implies that its
effectiveness is reasonable and as a result no one can have doubts that it
works.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you
would like to use saw palmetto for hair loss treatment, you will need to take
200 mg of it in a soft gel form for about 4 months in order to promote growth
of at least 60 percent of hair compared to what you originally had. You will
need to take the 200 mg of it twice a day alongside with food. When it comes to
its effectiveness during the period of hair restoration, the regeneration of
hair will be gradual at a rate of half an inch every month, and as a result it
may take quite some months before you start seeing its results. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Saw
palmetto for hair loss may however not be so effective when it comes to female
hair. This is because it suppresses DHT that is the primary cause of hair loss
in men. The women that may benefit from it are those that have abnormal levels
of DHT or hormones. Besides stopping hair loss, saw palmetto is also very
helpful when it comes to dealing with abnormal development of excessive hair in
the wrong places, a condition known as Hirsutism. It is a poly cystic syndrome
of the ovaries in women. When shopping around for saw palmetto, be sure to get
the best supplement in terms of value.<br />

Saw palmetto has emerged in recent years in the field of alternative
health to treat several ailments, and can function as a preventative
agent as well. Some of these medicinal claims appear true, but many
people are still unaware of exactly what is saw palmetto, where it comes
from, and why it has become such a popular health nutrient.<br />
<br />
Saw
palmetto is a dwarf palm plant found in the southeast of North America
and the West Indies. The plant which grows to between 2 and 4 feet is
sought for its berries, which can form the basis for capsules, tea or an
extract that can be consumed for a variety of maladies. The active
ingredients are flavonoids, plant sterols and fatty acids which should
be concentrated 85-95% in any good supplement purchased.<br />
<br />
The most
common use is for BPH or enlarged prostate in men, which can cause
bladder problems and irregular urine flow, including the need for
frequent urination. It has been shown that saw palmetto can alleviate
the symptoms of BPH just as effectively as some prescription drugs, but
from a natural source. According to some researchers, it does not
actually shrink the prostate, but appears to work on the area near the
urinary tubes that may feel pressure. Saw palmetto may also affect
testosterone, and reduce the enzymes that increase production of
prostate cells. Despite the lack of clarity on how it works, many
studies have shown its effectiveness in treating BPH.<br />
<br />
There have been
some early indications that saw palmetto may also be effective in
treating prostate cancer, as it has an effect on male hormones which may
contribute to that disease. Usually, it would be supplemented by other
herbs for this purpose, but there are no conclusive studies that it
prevents the development of cancer or can be used in treatment.<br />
<br />
Less
certain uses for saw palmetto include treatment for baldness, as a
sedative, as well as to alleviate colds and sore throat. Its effect on
testosterone levels may explain its use for libido support for men and
to increase vitality. There are those who take it for migraine headaches
and to treat asthma, but its effectiveness is only anecdotal at this
point. Latest studies has proven that It also has a healing effect <br />on acne patients (<a href="http://ruzz.ca/saw-palmetto-acne/">Read here</a>)<br />
<br />
The side effects of saw palmetto appear to be mild, but may
include upset stomach or mild headaches and it is not recommended for
pregnant women. It may also reduce the effectiveness or oral
contraceptives, and might affect various blood thinning drugs.<br />
<br />
Despite
these precautions, saw palmetto is seen as a relatively safe natural
medicinal product, and may provide a substitute for treatment of the
widespread problem of male prostate enlargement symptoms. Some have
suggested trying saw palmetto first before the prescription drugs, in
part because it can do no harm, and also the drug therapies available
may actually increase cancer risk. In any case, its use should be
supervised by a physician if one is substituting it for drug remedies to
be sure that the treatment is working, and not causing any interactive
problems with other medications.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10656624368853373418noreply@blogger.com0
