My apologies for the delay in this response.
It is always important to cleanse, especially after a sickness.
make sure that your colon is moving properly, 2-3 times per day. Turkey Rhubarb Colon Formula is an excellent formula for cleansing the colon and for helping your body remove toxins quickly & efficiently. A Liver & Gall Bladder flush is also a good idea - more so after the steroids. you may also choose to go a step further and do some blood cleansing.
As far as topically, there are a few herbs that you can use as a shampoo, such as Yucca. Yucca has been used by the Native American tribes for hundreds of years for soap and many other daily uses. Although our problem is not specifically hair loss, below is an excerpt from Dr. Christopher's writings and you may find some of the procedures he mentions helpful.
HAIR LOSS
Some people laugh about the loss of hair, although for a woman it can be devastating. Dr. Christopher used to say that the only thing to stop falling hair is the floor--unless you use the right herbs.
He was giving a crash course in herbs to a group of very wealthy women who were going to Europe on a tour. They wanted to know what they could learn about herbs before they left. They were having three lectures a day, four hours per lecture--really a crash course. One of the ladies, an attorney's wife, asked what could be done for the loss of hair. One of the other ladies said, "Let's not waste time on that--your husband has a good head of hair. There is nothing to worry about."
"Yes, there is something to worry about," the lady responded. "I want to know if a bald-headed person can get his hair back."
"Look," said a third lady, "we are trying to cram this course, and let's get through with it as fast as possible."
None of them thought this lady had any real concern, because she had a beautiful head of hair.
The attorney's wife was crying then, and she jerked off her wig and threw it on the woman's lap, saying that if she liked it so well she could keep it. She was as bald as a cue ball. A hairdresser had used something on her hair, which made it all fall out. So the ladies apologized and wanted to talk about hair loss after all.
Dr. Christopher explained the three-oil massage, which is as follows: The first two days, the patient should be massaged with castor oil, using a clockwise circular motion. This castor oil cleanses and flushes the skin and removes toxins. The second two days, the area is massaged with olive oil, which feeds and rebuilds muscles and flesh. The next two days, wheat germ oil is used for massage, which heals, being high in vitamin E. On the seventh day the patient rests. Immediately after the massage, the patient takes a sunbath, starting with only two minutes a day and increasing two minutes each day, up to a half hour. Use direct sunlight, though not in the heat of the day, and in cloudy weather use a sunlamp.
The group took off for Europe as planned, and months later Dr. Christopher visited this attorney and his wife on legal matters. The wife's hair was a bit shorter this time, and she said, "Doctor, look at my hair." He thought she had another wig on. "Reach over and pull my hair," she said. Dr. Christopher looked at her husband, who nodded. So he reached over and gave the hair a pull; she said, "Ouch!" She was so delighted that she had a healthy head of hair again, and Dr. Christopher had seen this happen many times, including a case where a man was completely bald, followed the program, and got a full head of hair again--curly this time instead of straight as before!
Other herbs that stimulate the growth of hair are cayenne, birch, dogbane, nettles, red root, and willow.
Yucca root makes up into a lovely natural shampoo.
