For some reason, it seems WebMD took out information about alternative treatment for hair lost.

I know they talked about using Saw Palmato (spelling?) and something else. I forgot what it is called. I think it starts with Beta something but I can't remember the name of it. I know it's not very popular herb so I have to go to a specaility store to get it. If anyone knows what it is, please let me know.

If you know other alternative treatments for hair loss, please let me know. Thanks! :)

Hi secrecyguy2,

I was trying to find the info for you, do you know when you saw the information? Click on this link for all hair loss related articles .

Listed under uses for Saw Palmetto in our Vitamins and Supplements Center it says, "Baldness. Some men report that using saw palmetto with beta-sitosterol makes them grow more and better hair ."

Let me know if this is helpful,
Elizabeth
