Alopecia, affecting the scalp and causing psychological distress, is primarily categorized into Androgenetic Alopecia and Alopecia Areata. The review highlights the potential of herbal therapies, which are gaining interest due to their lower cost and fewer side effects, though more clinical validation is needed. Conventional treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are common but have adverse effects. The review emphasizes the need for more extensive clinical trials to confirm the efficacy and safety of herbal therapies, suggesting that future research should focus on standardized formulations and comparative studies with synthetic treatments to develop integrated therapeutic approaches for managing alopecia.
