    TLDR Natural herbs may help hair growth, but more research is needed.
    This review from 2020 discussed the use of medicinal plants for promoting hair growth, highlighting the limitations of synthetic drugs due to their side effects. It emphasized India's rich repository of medicinal plants and their traditional use in hair care. The review noted that while about 1,000 plant extracts had been examined for hair growth properties, many lacked a strong scientific foundation. The article aimed to provide a detailed overview of various natural products, their chemical compositions, and active components responsible for hair growth, supported by clinical and scientific evidence.
