Hello all first off let me say I have been battling alopecia totalis for 3 years. I've had alopecia for 5 years in total. I came across a post that someone put up about making a tumeric paste. On top of that I did some more research and came across a recipe to make a Tumeric Smoothie. Well, I have hair growing back fully in places where I cannot say but I'm sure you get it lol. My eyebrows and eyelashes are growing back. I now even see peach fuzz and spots that looks like when a man shaves and his hair is growing back on my head. My head was the first place I started to lose my hair so to even see something I'm happy. I drink this smoothie every day faithfully and I must say it tastes great in my opinion. As for the Tumeric paste, I do not like the taste. I normally take a half of tablespoon every other day and wash it down with water immediately. I have stopped all treatment from the dermatologist because reading about the meds I was taking such as proscar, prednisone and nexium I found out I was hurting my body. I hope this reaches everyone well and good luck. Remember alopecia doesn't define who we are and it took some time for me to realize that so embrace it my alopecia family....Talk to you soon!!!!!
