    TLDR Panax Ginseng may help prevent hair loss.
    The document from January 20, 2020, discussed the potential of Panax Ginseng in preventing hair loss. Hair loss, or alopecia, can be caused by various factors such as hormones, nutritional status, radiation exposure, environmental toxins, and medications. Androgens were identified as the most significant factor causing androgenic alopecia. While therapies like finasteride and minoxidil are approved treatments, the search for natural or traditional medicines continues, with ginseng being a notable consideration. Several shampoo and conditioner products containing ginseng have shown hair growth-promoting effects in numerous preclinical studies. The document aimed to explore the potential of ginseng and its metabolites in preventing hair loss and the mechanisms underlying this effect.
