TLDR Naringi crenulata leaf extracts promote hair growth.
The study evaluated the hair growth promotion activity of fresh leaf extracts of Naringi crenulata using wistar rats. Crude extracts of 0.2 ml were applied to the shaved skin on the rats' backs and monitored for 30 days. Results showed that treatments with acetone and chloroform significantly improved hair length, weight, number of hair follicles, blood circulation, and skin coloration compared to control groups. The hair growth-promoting potential of Naringi crenulata was attributed to the presence of terpenoids and flavonoids in the plant extracts.
