GlossaryNightshade

family of plants including tomatoes, potatoes, and bell peppers

Nightshade refers to a family of plants known as Solanaceae, which includes a variety of species such as tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, and bell peppers. Some nightshades, like the deadly nightshade (Atropa belladonna), contain toxic alkaloids that can be harmful or even lethal if ingested, while others are commonly consumed as food. In the context of hair and alopecia, certain individuals may experience sensitivity or allergic reactions to nightshade vegetables, potentially exacerbating inflammatory conditions that could affect hair health.
