Treatment for hereditary premature greying

I am 24, male suffering from hereditary premature grey hair since 10 years. I am using hair dye since then. Recently, I am getting lots of grey hair on my beard and chest. Any natural permanent treatment?

Unfortunately for you, there is no natural or permanent treatment that is effective at treating gray hair. This is true whether your gray hair is premature or normal - no matter what the cause or circumstances of your graying, there is no way to stop or reverse the process. You already seem to be aware that the problem is hereditary - this means that it is something that has simply been handed down to you in your genes. There is, of course, no way to change your genes, and the gray hair is therefore something that you will just have to deal with. Since you have already had gray hair for ten years, you must be used to it by now, and you must certainly have realized that it is not really a great problem. Premature graying of hair is quite a superficial and harmless problem. What happens is simply that the cells in your hair follicles stop producing melanin, which is the pigment that gives hair its color. Hair, as you know, is not composed of living tissue. It is the hair follicle that is responsible for how the hair looks. Normally, with advancing age, hair follicles stop producing melanin, and hair becomes colorless or white. Once this happens, there is no going back - it is not possible to make the follicle start producing melanin once again, nor is it possible to stop other follicles from stopping melanin production one by one.

Sometimes, this whole process starts very early in life. In such cases, the time in life at which it has started is usually the only difference; the process is otherwise exactly the same and is also completely irreversible and unstoppable. The gray hair that is appearing on your beard and chest is not a new problem; it is part of the same process. Just as the follicles on your scalp have stopped production of melanin, the follicles on your face and chest are now stopping production of melanin. You can deal with this in the same way you have dealt with your gray hair for the last ten years. If you want, you can dye your hair so that it stays whatever color it was originally, or else you can simply let it be. Do not try any tonics or remedies that claim to stop or reverse gray hair, as they will not only be a useless waste of money, some of them can even be harmful.
