Studysummary In this study, herbal hair oil made using fruits, flowers, leaves, and seeds from various plants demonstrated excellent hair growth results, suggesting it could be a potent alternative to synthetic hair oils due to its efficacy and potentially fewer side effects. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.
The study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a polyherbal hair oil using a mixture of crude drugs, including fruits of Embelica officinalis, flowers of Hibiscus rosasinensis, leaves of Ocimum sanctum, Azadirachta indica, and seeds of Trigonella foenum-graecum. The herbal hair oil was prepared using the boiling cloth method and tested for hair growth activity, refractive index, acid value, and saponification value. The results indicated excellent hair growth, suggesting that this herbal formulation could be a potent alternative to synthetic hair oils, offering fewer side effects and better safety.
