Clinical Tips

Clinical Tips - Gray Hair


Gray or white hair—sometimes colloquially called "salt and pepper" when it is 'peppered' throughout dark hair—is not caused by a true gray or white pigment, but is due to a lack of pigmentation and melanin. The clear hairs appear as gray or white because of the way light reflects from the hairs. Gray hair color typically occurs naturally as people age. For some people this can happen at a very young age (for example, at the age of 10). The same is true for white hair. In some cases, gray hair may be caused by thyroid deficiencies,Waardenburg syndrome or a vitamin B12 deficiency. At some point in the human life cycle, cells that are located in the base of the hair's follicles slow, and eventually stop producing pigment.

Thyroidinum in 30 or 200 dilution will not only prevent gray hair, but help in restoring its natural colour.

Lycopodium Clavatum 200 - Premature gray hair with urinary or digestive disturbance.

Phosphoricum Acidum 200 - Hair turns gray early in young people who grwo fast and are mentally overtaxed.
