    TLDR Hibiscus rosa-sinensis leaf extract is safe, has strong antioxidants, and effectively heals wounds.
    The study evaluated the antioxidant, toxicological, and wound healing properties of ethanolic leaves extract of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L. (ELEHR) using various experimental animal models. The extract demonstrated strong antioxidant activity in a concentration-dependent manner and showed a reasonable safety profile with no severe toxic effects. In wound healing assessments, ELEHR enhanced wound contraction and epithelization in excision and burn wound models, and increased wound breaking strength in the incision model. Histological analysis indicated restoration to normal skin architecture in treated wounds. The wound healing efficacy of ELEHR was attributed to its antioxidant properties and was supported by enhanced connective tissue markers in the dead space wound model.

      A user is considering using homemade hair sprays with ingredients like fenugreek seeds, rosemary, and lavender to promote hair growth, alongside topical minoxidil. Other users suggest that while these sprays may improve hair health, they are not as effective as minoxidil and finasteride for regrowing hair, and recommend using proven treatments like finasteride for better results.

      community Are there ever going to be any oral DHT blocking treatments in the future?

      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.

      community So we’re just ok with taking a research chemical now?

      in Treatment  178 upvotes 4 years ago
      The conversation discusses the use of RU58841, a non-FDA approved research chemical for hair loss, with mixed opinions on its safety and effectiveness. Some users are willing to try it as a last resort after other treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride failed, while others express concerns about potential long-term side effects and lack of official research.
