    TLDR The herbo-mineral formulation may help treat hair loss and baldness.
    The study focused on developing and evaluating a herbo-mineral formulation for treating alopecia, a common hair disorder characterized by patterned hair loss on the scalp. The formulation included extracts from Withania somnifera, Emblica Officinalis, Eclipta alba, Glycyrrhiza glabra, and a zinc supplement known as Yashad bhasma, which is an ayurvedic mineral-based and immuno-modulatory medicine. The formulation was intended to address hair loss from the scalp and other body parts, baldness, and hormonal imbalances.
