    TLDR Hibiscus root extract reduces inflammation in rats.
    The study investigated the anti-inflammatory activity of the aqueous root extract of Hibiscus rosa sinesis using a dose of 250 mg/kg body weight in carrageenan-induced paw edema in Swiss albino rats. The extract produced a statistically significant and dose-dependent inhibition of edema compared to control groups, with a significant (p<0.01) reduction in rat paw edema at all assessment times. This suggested that the aqueous extract of Hibiscus rosa sinesis roots had notable anti-inflammatory properties.

      The discussion revolves around the need for future oral DHT blockers for hair loss treatment that don't have the side effects of current options like Finasteride and Dutasteride. One user suggests that the future of hair loss treatment will likely be topical anti-androgens, as they can target hair follicles without affecting the entire system.
