    TLDR Cedrol from ginger can promote hair growth when taken orally.
    The study explores Cedrol (CE) from ginger for hair regeneration in cyclophosphamide-induced alopecia areata in mice, finding oral administration (OA) more effective than external application (EA) in promoting hair growth, reducing follicle damage, and enhancing cell proliferation. CE works by regulating the JAK3/STAT3 signaling pathway, activating the Wnt3α/β-catenin germinal center, and reducing oxidative stress, indicating its potential for developing oral hair growth treatments.
