It could well be the lupus itself causing the hair loss because lupus is an auto-immune disease and can attack the hair follicles. It could also be the drugs she is taking to control the lupus. either way she would be best to go back to her doctor and get advice there. Traditional hair-loss herbs include box (Buxus species) and rosemary, both applied as infusions in water not as essential oils.

Like most statements that begin with " I have heard... " it should be taken with a grain of salt. A good friend let me try it on his head...once....LOL, but he couldn't take the ribbing from his kids or us about his new fragrance. Others swear it will work.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Hi Cheryl and Pat, I know lupus is a pretty bad disease, and my sis in law was informally diagnosed with it two years ago. She is not on any medications for it as the diagnosis was somewhat inconclusive. I guess its hard to get a firm yes you have it or no you dont. Anyway, she is going to the doctor next week. The hair loss just started a few weeks ago, and has really thrown her for a loop. She is using pure Shea butter on her skin because of a bad rash also, but so far its only helped a little. I am going to try a few different oils with her for her hair and see if we can at least slow down the process, and then after that, I think i may just buy her a nice wig. I appreciate everyone's advice. Bobbi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
