polyherbal hair oil amla hibiscus bhringraj methi minoxidil follicular size anagen phase Indian gooseberry Rogaine

TLDR The polyherbal lotus oil with amla, hibiscus, bhringraj, and methi promotes hair growth effectively, similar to minoxidil.

The study formulated and evaluated a polyherbal hair oil using amla, hibiscus, bhringraj, and methi, finding that 7.5% of each herb was the most effective concentration. The oil, prepared using the boiling method, was characterized and compared to a 2% minoxidil solution. The polyherbal oil showed excellent hair growth activity by enlarging follicular size and prolonging the anagen phase, suggesting it could be a potent herbal alternative to minoxidil.
