community What About Phytosterol Alternatives - Rice Bran Oil - Natural DHT Blockers
The conversation discusses natural DHT blockers like rice bran oil, which may reduce 5α-reductase activity similarly to Minoxidil and Dutasteride. One user argues that finasteride is more reliable and effective than natural alternatives.
community Using Rosemary and other essential Oils
The conversation discusses creating a mix of essential oils for hair regrowth, questioning the proper mix ratio for single or multiple oils. It also mentions using finasteride and minoxidil for hair loss treatment, alongside oils, shampoos, and microneedling to improve scalp conditions for hair regrowth.
