Re: [Everything doTERRA] Trichotillomania

Try Patchoulli on the bottom of his feet. Are you using doTerra's shampoo.
If not put a little peppermint in his shampoo but be careful he doesn't get it
in his eyes.
DoTerra has been testing a hair and nail supplement that I think could be
the answer. We will keep every one posted on that one.

I have to preface this by mentioning that this is my own son and I
have been experiencing major (mental) road blocks in being able to
identify ways of helping him with this problem.  So I'm asking here
because I really need to help him.

My 10 year old has been playing with his hair when he is stressed,
anxious or needs self soothing.  Recently he started twisting and
pulling the hair out. It started in the back and we caught it and have
been having him wear a hat to keep him from pulling the hair in the
back out. In the last 2 weeks he has started flipping the front of the
hat up and pulling the front hairs out. Today he had a bit of a hair
cut and the stylist mentioned that the hair follicles were so damaged
from the pulling that they were not producing any new hairs. The bald
spot in the back could be permanent.

It has been determined by his therapist that he has trichotillomania.

I've been putting OnGuard and Balance or Serenity (their choice) on
all the kids feet daily for general health purposes.

My questions are, is there an oil that I can use to help stimulate the
hair follicles of the pulled hairs? And what would you suggest I use
to help with the urge to pull. (We are implementing behavior
modifications, band-aids on fingers used to pull, shorter hair, hats,
finger-fiddle toys)

I'm willing to try anything to help him and appreciate any suggestions
you may have.

thank you friends,
TaLaisa
