Chemical Examination of Three Indian Medicinal Plants and Their Hair Growth Evaluation Studies
January 2013
TLDR Three Indian medicinal plant compounds help hair growth.
The study isolated and characterized three aromatic compounds from Indian medicinal plants: thymol from Trachyspermum ammi seeds, β-asarone from Acorus calamus rhizomes, and eugenol from Syzygium aromaticum flower buds. These compounds were identified using various spectral data techniques and compared with authentic samples. In-vivo hair growth studies showed that all three compounds exhibited good to moderate hair growth activity compared to the control compound, minoxidil.
