Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.
Tridax procumbens Linn., a weed with a wide range of pharmacological activities, shows potential in promoting hair growth, among other benefits like hepatoprotective, immunomodulating, and antidiabetic effects. Despite its traditional use in Ayurveda, scientific research on its phytochemical constituents and their pharmacological properties is limited.
