TLDR Marking Nut extract in coconut oil may be an effective natural alternative for treating dandruff and promoting hair growth.
The study evaluated the effectiveness of a coconut oil extract of Marking Nut (Semecarpus Anacardium Linn.) for anti-dandruff and hair growth promotion. The extract was tested against Malassezia furfur, the fungus responsible for dandruff, and showed zones of inhibition similar to the anti-dandruff drug ketoconazole. For hair growth, the extract was applied to mice and showed positive results in terms of hair growth time, length, weight, and follicle length and density, comparable to the standard hair growth drug minoxidil. The findings suggest that the Marking Nut extract in coconut oil could be a viable natural alternative for dandruff treatment and hair growth promotion.
