Hair loss was merely a problem in past. At that time, people used to have different and sometimes very strange ways to cure hair loss. Herbs were a common remedy for many issues including hair fall. Ancient Egyptians use a mixture of fats from hippopotamus, crocodile, tomcat, snake and ibex and the ancient Greek physician recommended himself and his fellows a topical mixture of opium, horseradish, pigeon droppings, beetroot and spices to cure hair loss. Even Cleopatra suggested his lover, Julius Caesar, a home remedy consisting of ground-up mice, horse teeth and bear grease to regrow his hair. Definitely not a single cure was efficient enough to regrow or at least stop hair loss.
