    TLDR The emulsion made from tea plant and onion extracts shows promise for treating hair loss.
    In the 2020 study, researchers aimed to develop a topical herbal emulsion for treating alopecia areata using extracts from Camellia sinensis (tea plant), Allium cepa (onion), and almond oil. Initially, they assessed the compatibility of the herbal ingredients and analyzed the physical properties of the emulsions. The chosen emulsion was a water-in-oil (w/o) type and underwent various characterization tests, including dye solubility, particle size analysis, organoleptic properties, centrifugation, viscosity, pH, and electrical conductivity, all of which showed acceptable properties according to ICH guidelines over a three-month period. The biological efficacy of the emulsion was then tested on Wistar rats for 10 days, divided into three groups. The results indicated that the emulsion containing Allium cepa and Camellia sinensis extracts demonstrated potential in treating alopecia areata.
