Among the many beliefs that have circulated around masturbation since time immemorial, one of the most common ones was that excessive indulgence in it caused baldness in men. How this belief got started in those ancient times is not known, but it is strongly suggested today – by medical investigation – that this can indeed be the case.
The interesting thing to know is what the link between OM and hair loss is. Is there really a connecting link between one head and the other? Well, yes, there is. That link is dihydrotestosterone, simply known as DHT. DHT is a hormone, an offshoot of the male sex hormone, testosterone. This hormone is directly responsible for hair loss in men. This is also the very same hormone that is related to the excitement that is very much a part of sexual activity and of masturbation. So, there is a link between hair loss and excessive masturbation.
DHT is not normally present in the male body. This is caused when a person masturbates too much. Due to excessive ejaculation, the testosterone in the body of the man gets converted into dihydrotestosterone. Such high levels of DHT can cause an overload in the body of the male, which can cause several repercussions. Some major repercussions could be like the enlargement of the prostate gland caused due to poor circulation of the blood. But one important side-effect of the high levels of DHT is the baldness, which can begin occurring even in young boys who masturbate too much.
Let us try to understand how DHT can cause baldness in the first place. DHT is produced due to several triggering factors, of which OM is a significant one. Some other factors that can trigger the production of DHT are stress, over-intake of caffeine products, hormonal imbalances and even genetic factors. The concentration of DHT is high in localized regions of the body such as the liver and the skin. Even the skin of the hair follicles contains DHT when it is produced by the triggering factors. Recent studies suggest that when DHT is produced in an abundant excess, it accumulates in the hair follicles to such a large extent that the size of the follicles progressively decrease. As a result, the hair may be simply expelled out from the follicle, right from its root. Not only will this cause baldness, but it will also make sure that hair will never again grow back in that same place.
Reducing its frequency is of course one of the best ways to lower the production of DHT in the body. But there are some other methods too that one must know of. Here is a list of all the methods that can be employed to lower the levels of DHT in the body, and thus prevent the risk of baldness to some extent:-
(i) Red meats must be avoided as far as possible. Avoid beef and pork. White meats, including those of fish, can be had without a problem as they do not have any direct effects on increasing the levels of DHT.
(ii) Include seeds and nuts in the diet. These contain L-arginine, which is a natural growth hormone agent. Isoflavones are also present in them, which help in the proper functioning of the prostate gland. A healthy prostate is known to maintain good health of the hair and prevent them from falling.
(iii) Your diet must also be rich in fresh vegetables and fruits. These are stores of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. They will improve your blood circulation and will happen to properly streamline the production of DHT. Some other herbs that can improve your blood circulation are ginseng and Ginkgo biloba.
(iv) One way of getting relief from excessive production of DHT is to burn the testosterone from the body by indulging in healthy exercise. The exercise does not need to be something heavy-duty, but it is enough if it is something that burns down the testosterone from the system. Normal walking is the best exercise that can be done.
The Paradizo range of products is designed specifically to combat the various problems that OM brings on in men. The product line consists of natural herbal extracts of the winter cherry (which is Ashwagandha, known as the Indian ginseng), cowhage, caltrop, early purple orchid and nutmeg. But, most importantly, it contains Shilajit, which is a mineral extract from the rocks which contains several vital ingredients to boost the sexual capacity in men.
Another product line for the same purpose is Kohinoor. This also contains the above minerals in carefully formulated packages. In addition, the Kohinoor products also contain the Ginkgo biloba. Both ginseng and Ginkgo biloba are known to lower DHT levels in men.
Both Paradizo and Kohinoor can respond to the counter-effects of OM. They can make the erections harder, increase libido and increase the sexual vigor in men. But most importantly, they can gradually enlarge the size to its maximum capacity, which counters the shrinking effect of the organ due to OM. These remedies have been prepared under traditional Ayurvedic methods under the supervision of pharmaceutical greats from around the world.
