GET LONG HAIR... SOON

-

Check your digestive health, say Maryska Taylor and Rachel Corradetti, naturopath­ic doctors who founded Clinic Intrinsic, a mobile naturopath­ic service. “You can’t grow lustrous long hair if you aren’t absorbing any of the nutrients needed to do so,” says Taylor. Gastrointe­stinal issues and an imbalance of gut flora (which can arise from long-term use of painkiller­s and antibiotic­s, respective­ly) can prevent nutrients from being fully absorbed by the body, says Corradetti. Taylor recommends fish oil to help quell inflammati­on and a bitter like gentian to stimulate stomach acid, which is needed to break down the protein in food for more efficient digestion. You may see changes in a month, but Corradetti advises sticking with it for at least three.
