Activity Test of Creambath Preparation of Waru Leaf Extract (Hibiscus tiliaceus L.) on Hair Growth in New Zealand White Rabbits
January 2019
TLDR Waru leaf creambath can speed up hair growth in rabbits, especially at 37.5% concentration.
The study investigated the effects of creambath preparations made from ethanol extracts of waru leaves (Hibiscus tiliaceus L.) on hair growth in New Zealand White rabbits. Using concentrations of 12.5%, 25%, and 37.5%, the research found that these preparations could accelerate hair growth, with the 37.5% concentration being particularly effective in increasing hair weight. The physical quality and stability of the creambath were mostly good, although no concentration matched the hair growth effect of the positive control. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA with a significance level of p>0.05.
