New research: Indicates that stress may only be harmful if you believe it is harmful. It may be our attitude about stress that is most harmful. Check out the full information at http://www.Ted.Com/talks/kelly_mcgonigal_how_to_make_stress_your_friend.Html. But also check with your physician to rule out non-stress causes.

Reduce stress, supps: Stress can contribute to hair loss but other factors may be at work too. Stress contributes to hypothyroidism ; adrenal fatigue which can cause hair loss. Reduce stress via exercise, meditation, counseling etc. Supps like b complex, vit c ; d, magnesium, zinc, ashwagandha, fo-ti, cordyceps ; tulsi tea can help. I advise working with a holistic md.
