    TLDR Herbal extracts can help hair regrowth and may treat hair loss.
    The study investigated the effects of herbal extracts on hair regrowth in C3H/HeJ mice, with 6 experimental groups including controls and 3 herbal mixtures (C, D, E). The E mixture, containing Swertia pseudo-chinensis, Sophora flavescens, Scutellaria baicalensis, and Salvia miltiorrhiza, showed the most significant results, accelerating hair regrowth faster than controls and increasing enzyme activities (ALP and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase) and growth factors (EGF and VEGF) after 3 weeks. These findings suggested that herbal extracts could be effective for treating alopecia in humans.
