Website Visitor fill out the “Ask the Herbalist” form:

I am 31 years old and have obvious signs of thinning hair. I was thinking about taking a testosterone booster to help with low levels of testosterone to help hair production. What do you think is my best choice, Tribulus, DHEA, or fennegreek? I also have read about Fo-Ti. Do you think that is a better choice?

Hi,

This would be considered a “reductionist theory” question, and it is hard for me to think that way about herbs anymore. Here is an article on how Chinese medicine typically addresses hair loss: As far as a “best choice”, it is more likely the most appropriate choice and if you have tested you testosterone levels and you are certain that none of the other factors outlined in the article could be contributing to your condition, than you may do well with the tribulus.

Kindly,
Catherine
