TLDR Traditional oriental hair care products and Yukmijihwang-huan improved hair loss symptoms in two older men.
The document describes a study that observed the effects of traditional oriental hair care products and Yukmijihwang-huan on two male patients over 60 years old with androgenetic alopecia. The study, which used photographic assessments, found that symptoms of alopecia improved in both patients after treatment. However, the study's conclusions are limited due to the small sample size of only two patients and the absence of a control group, long-term follow-up, and detailed exploration of the mechanisms behind the treatments' effects. The authors recommend a larger, prospective study to substantiate these preliminary findings.
