November 2025 in “Phytomedicine” This study found that Justicia procumbens aqueous extract promoted hair regrowth and alleviated aging-related hair and vascular deterioration in mice, indicating potential benefits for maintaining hair health as aging progresses, though further research is needed for human validation.
This study found that an extract from Justicia procumbens may prevent hair loss in a mouse model of androgenic alopecia by enhancing hair follicle cell proliferation and improving hair characteristics.
August 2025 in “Molecules” In this study, researchers using advanced chromatography and mass spectrometry techniques tentatively identified 132 chemical compounds in Justicia procumbens, including 54 lignans and 77 compounds reported for the first time, which may aid in pharmacological research and quality control of the plant.
October 2025 in “International Journal For Multidisciplinary Research” In this study, researchers documented the use of 69 plant species across 38 families in traditional medicine by herbal practitioners in Raichur District, detailing their therapeutic properties for 22 ailments such as fever, epilepsy, and diabetes, though interest in traditional practices is declining.
January 2026 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” This research observed that Salvianolic acid B (Sal B) significantly promoted hair regeneration in vivo and in vitro, outperforming minoxidil in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia, by activating Wnt/β-catenin and mTORC2/Akt pathways and upregulating MMPs and MAPKs.
