Hi Susan,
Hops prevents hair loss. Whenever maca made me lose more hair, I increased hops, and it worked. I am at the end of a two weeks experiment with oat flakes now, and I have a feeling that makes me lose more hair. Oats decrease Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), so there's more free testosterone, and more of it may become DHT. I think I'll continue oats at the end of the experiment, but at a lower dose. Every year in spring, I buy a box of minoxidil at the pharmacy, because hair loss is worst in spring.
My dreams on hops are sensual and psychic too, while they are normally neither. There is also a vibrant, tingling technicolor quality about the images. Hops is a little brother of weed. I just wish somebody would do more good research on this.
Thank you for the links. I was impressed with how fast fenugreek improved my waist hip ratio in the beginning, so it's not a surprise that body builders discovered fenugreek. But testosterone? Never thought fenugreek would increase that. I'll scoop up some scientific literature to find out how that happens.
The headaches are a symptom of estrogen dominance. That is an imbalance between estrogen and progesterone. Because the diosgenin in fenugreek increases progesterone, it corrects the imbalance. A strong phyto-progestin like turmeric could help too, yes. For me, fenugreek is strong enough: I never get headaches. I so wish you'd find an herb that helps you get rid of them once and for all too.
