in “Current Pharmaceutical Design”
TLDR Some medicinal plants may treat hair loss with fewer side effects.
The document from November 13, 2018, discussed the impact of hair loss on individuals' mental health and quality of life, with a focus on Androgenic Alopecia (AGA), the most common type of hair loss. It highlighted the various treatment strategies, including hair transplants, cosmetics, and medication. The paper emphasized the effectiveness of medical treatments in improving hair growth, but also noted the undesirable side effects of many drugs. Given the long-term nature of hair loss treatment and the need to minimize adverse side effects, the document suggested the use of natural products and traditional Chinese medicines as potential treatments. It provided an overview of recent progress in the use of medicinal plants for hair loss treatment, suggested mechanisms, and outlined ongoing or planned trials to optimize treatment.
