    TLDR A mix of Morinda citrifolia fruit and Averrhoa bilimbi leaves boosts hair growth better than minoxidil.
    This study investigated the effects of Morinda citrifolia fruit extract (MCFE) and Averrhoa bilimbi leaf extract (ABLE) on hair growth in rabbits. The most effective treatment was a combination of 7.5% MCFE and 2.5% ABLE, which significantly increased hair length to 19.69 mm and weight to 0.3300 g, surpassing the results of the positive control group treated with minoxidil. The findings suggest that this combination could be developed into an herbal treatment for hair loss, as it effectively promotes hair growth by accelerating growth rate and increasing hair weight.
