@Hearthfire i was always interested in the idea of adaptogens for hair,

things like schisandra, rhodiola and eleuthero, but never made a decision about them

@Hearthfire both look good

this too

interesting study on licorice too

licorice/mint/rosemary would be interesting

not sure about emu oil, seems pointless, greasy too

I would do alcohol tinctures of rosemary, mint and green tea.

optional extras: hibiscus, neem, licorice, all as alcohol tinctures

menthol can work as well as many anti inflammatory drugs

@sushi_is_cringe makes sense

mint has commonality with anti histamines

@Mossy the oil is problematic and too strong

many people used rosemary water, the tincture would work just as well

mix with green tea tincture too, combined with once weekly dermastamping

a rosemary/hibiscus/green tea tincture would be interesting

this person used water,

I am trying a more natural route and looking into rosemary/hibiscus tincture

as an alcohol tincture, it may wor kbetetr than the oils

could the alcohol tincture be used topically?

@risingfire do you think low dose cabergoline could work?

it seems to reduce prolactin and cortisol

@Mauritio

would you eve take schisandra/reishi etc?

@sushi_is_cringe mental effects?

@Kvirion would this work?

@Kvirion said in what is causing body hair/nose hair and ear hair if not androgens?:

emodin

this feels like a deep set problem in my body, like something is totally failing, like my adrenal gland

but I am not sure

@jamezb46 @risingfire

what do you think of this idea?

@risingfire how does a person reduce cortisol if things like dhea, coconut oil, sugar, thiamine etc are not reducing it effectively?

What would cause this to suddenly occur in the body?

I don't think it is androgens

I do 3mm once a week

strangely, 1mm hurts more and produces more blood

i think the deeper it goes - the less it hurts - it's a psychological phenomenon
