Man health questions... hormone levels

Most of the physical problems unique to men are caused by imbalances in their hormone levels, especially in the level of testosterone. Produced in the testes and in the adrenal glands, testosterone develops a man's muscles, deepens his voice and makes him fertile. On the negative side, testosterone can also cause the prostate to enlarge, and high testosterone levels have been blamed for overaggressive behavior.

Baldness

It's not easy for a man to go bald (Learn more about hair loss here ). Hair and lots of it - is an age-old symbol of virility. Many men think that they look better with a full head of hair than without. The truth is that there is no cure for baldness-the best such products can do is to slow the loss of any remaining hair.

Man health questions... healthy hair

Healthy hair grows in a cyclical pattern; a strand of hair grows for a while, then it falls out and its root takes a rest before sprouting again. Balding occurs when hair roots never "wake up" again! This is the case with "male pattern baldness," which is especially common when hair growth begins to slow, around age 50 or 60. It is the male hormone testosterone, helped along by certain genes, that encourages hair roots to shut down. Herbs can help! Take herbs as a nutrients for your hair...

Although herbs will not bring hair back once it is gone (there is no wonder cure), a few herbs do seem to slow hair loss, especially aloe vera gel, nettle and rosemary. For centuries, both men and women have massaged rosemary in olive oil into their scalps to keep their hair healthy and lush. The massage itself serves an important function: It stimulates circulation and encourages hair roots to grow. Herbs such aloe vera not only is good for hair, but also serves as protection against sun and wind for a scalp that becomes exposed when hair begins to thin.

Man health questions... While it is difficult to know for sure that the herbs are helping, all the men know who use them swear that they can tell the difference. When you use any hair-growth treatment, remember that the scalp is the most important area to address. Hair itself is dead. Certain types of hair conditioners can make it look a little thicker or smooth it down, but little else can be done. The scalp, however, is very much alive and can respond to herbal treatments.

Man health questions... Testosterone

Of course, testosterone, genes and poor circulation are not the only factors that cause men to lose their locks. Unlike the man who sprouts it, the body considers hair one of its least important assets. It is one of the first things to go when a serious illness, nervous-system disease or advancing years demand their share of limited nutrients. Some drug treatments, especially ones for arthritis, gout, depression, high blood pressure and heart problems, can also shut down hair growth. So can radiation therapy and the various scalp problems that fall under the umbrella of dermatitis. If you think that any of these could be causing your baldness, choose herbs to help treat the specific condition.

Man health questions... Shoulders pains

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body. The joint includes four tendons. The purpose of a tendon is to hold muscle to bone. Together, these four "rotator cuff" tendons stabilize the upper arm bone to the shoulder socket and allow a wide range of motion in the shoulder.

Any swelling, inflammation, tearing, or bony changes around these tendons causes pain when a person tries to move the arm above the head, behind the back, or straight out in front... click here for more information
