This study suggests that ethyl acetate extract of Equisetum debile may be effective for functional food and nutraceutical use due to its strong 5α-reductase, IL-6 inhibition, and lipid peroxidation activities without cytotoxic effects.

This study suggests that Equisetum debile extracts, particularly the ethyl acetate fraction, may offer natural cosmeceutical benefits for treating hyperpigmentation, delaying skin aging, and remediating hair loss due to androgenic alopecia.

This study found that Equisetum arvense, or horsetail, water extracts prepared with polyethylene glycol in an ultrasonic bath yielded the highest levels of phenolic compounds, such as hydroxycinnamic acids and flavonoids, indicating that this method improves the release of biologically active substances.

This study aimed to determine the phenolic compound composition in Equisetum arvense stem extracts using HPLC, as the plant is commonly used in cosmetics for skin and hair care, but results are not reported here.

In this study, a 39-year-old male with mild seborrheic dermatitis followed an individualized phytotherapy program, including hair massages with jojoba and patchouli oils, herbal rinses, and weekly masks, which showed positive effects in reducing dandruff after completion.

In this study, a herbal extract mixture significantly reduced IL-1α gene expression in HaCaT cells, suggesting it may aid in the treatment of nonscarring alopecia.

Botanical extracts are increasingly important in cosmetics and drugs for their effectiveness and safety, backed by traditional use and scientific evidence.

This study found that a herbal shampoo and solution were more effective than placebo in reducing hair loss and improving hair growth in participants with androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium.

In a recent study of 15 women with self-perceived hair loss, Viviscal supplementation was associated with an increase in terminal hairs and subjective improvement in hair characteristics.

This study found that certain nutraceuticals did not interfere with tamoxifen's inhibition of estrogen in breast cancer cells and may enhance its effects, suggesting potential as an adjuvant therapy for hair loss in patients undergoing endocrine therapy.

This review suggests that herbal hair serums, which are claimed to nourish the scalp and promote hair growth, may effectively treat alopecia without adverse effects, offering a natural alternative to allopathic medications that often have side effects.
