I cannot believe it! I had resigned myself to being bald (no, not really) but I did believe I would be by the end of Dec but was fighting it all the way, when I stumbled on a thread where Aggie and Jamaraa (and others) were discussing the wonders of Fenugreek.
I bought some garlic oil infused with fenugreek (for horses) and used it in a pre-DC treatment 3 times so far this week. This has reduced my excessive (and I mean excessive) shedding down tremendously. Today I bought some fenugreek powder and added it to my other ayurvedic herbs, infused with hot water then added it to my yogurt treatment.
Just using the garlic oil infused with fenugreek 3 times this week has made a huge difference and I am just so ecstatic right now. I found the fenugreek extremely moisturising. It will be a staple of mine from now on but it did leave bits in my hair. I will make my own garlic/fenugreek oil infusion going forward.
I have been shedding because-
1) I am very anemic - very low HB- slacked on my ferritin/spirulina/chlorophyl intake
2) Recently lost a lot of weight.
3) Been very stressed with a lot of serious personal issues.
4) Had major surgery.
I think all of the above contributed to my shedding. It is so much that I now have a bald spot in my head (again, had it before due to anemia but it grew back after I took remedial action).
I felt so good when I detangled today and the shedding was so much less than it has been in the last several weeks.
Below are some comparison pics of my weekly detangling. The first bundle is of my detangling today. The second bundle was last weeks detangling. The third is the week before that. The excessive shed hairs have been bigger than my fist.

Upon reflection, I think that I should have made it myself- which I will in the future.
Your shedding went down a lot - I mean, A WHOLE FREAKIN LOT!!! Thanks for sharing the remedy and for posting the pictures.
). I did not really think about this when I ordered because I was so excited to see it. However I now have no idea what kind of oil I am putting on my head and it is not stated on the bottle. I could ring up the company but wont bother. I will just use it up and make my own next time.
