Using Indian marking nut sap for hair loss caused a skin rash on a woman's face.

This review study reports that while Bharangi, a traditional Indian medicinal shrub, is used for various conditions like asthma and epilepsy, it has been clinically underexplored and could benefit from scientific validation for broader use.

This study found that the aerial roots of Ficus benghalensis Linn contain flavonoids, phenolics, and saponins, with an ethyl acetate extract being particularly rich in flavonoids.

This study identified two potent 5α-reductase inhibitors from Tectona grandis leaves, and suggests that ethanol is a preferable solvent for extracting these compounds, which are potential ingredients for hair loss treatments.

This study found that Eclipta alba extracts exhibit significant antimicrobial activity against various human pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant strains, suggesting potential use in treating infectious diseases.

This paper reviews classical Unani texts and scientific research on Cuscuta reflexa, covering its traditional uses and pharmacological properties, but presents no new clinical results.

This review discusses the phytoconstituents and biological properties of T. orientalis and T. occidentalis, but reports no new clinical results.

This study identified seven compounds from Cercidiphyllum japonicum twig extracts, including a newly discovered flavonoid, marking the first time these specific compounds have been isolated from this genus.

This review compiles existing knowledge on the traditional uses, phytochemistry, and pharmacological activities of Eclipta alba, a plant with potential health benefits traditionally used in Ayurveda and other healing systems, encouraging further exploration of its therapeutic potential.

This study highlights the declining availability of Indian Sandalwood due to overharvesting and spike disease and emphasizes the importance of suitable host plant selection for its cultivation.

This study isolated and identified three natural compounds—syringaresinol, mayuenolid, and ciwujiaton—from Leersia hexandra, a traditional liver treatment used in Huyện Tam Nông, Đồng Tháp, using advanced chromatography and spectroscopy techniques.

This study found that terpene compound concentrations in coniferous tree leaves were generally highest in spring and summer, suggesting these seasons are most effective for extracting essential oils.

In this study, a herbal hair wax stick formulated with extracts of Tulsi, Amla, and Bhringraj demonstrated favorable styling, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties, suggesting it as a safe, natural alternative to synthetic hair styling products.

This study found that aerosols formulated with celery extract and candlenut oil significantly stimulated hair growth in rabbits without causing skin irritation, suggesting their potential as natural and safe alternatives for treating alopecia.

This study used phytochemical screening and FTIR spectroscopy with PCA to reveal slight chemical differences between two varieties of Eclipta alba, providing a method for their effective discrimination.

This study found that cinnamic acid stress inhibited root growth more in cucumber seedlings than in figleaf gourd, potentially due to differences in hormone content and production rates.

This study reported that using a herbal hair oil containing Cereus grandiflorus (cactus) Flower extract over 12 weeks was effective in significantly reducing hair fall and aiding new hair growth among alopecia patients.

This study found that 10% Citrus aurantium peel oil significantly promoted hair growth in ICR mice by reducing the time needed for hair growth initiation and completion, and by increasing hair length, follicle diameter, and count, showing potential as a hair growth agent.

This study found that Dysphania ambrosioides oil exhibited cytotoxicity against U-937 lymphoma cells, indicating potential activity that warrants further investigation.

In this review, researchers identified 10 natural plants, including candlenut and clove, that have shown potential to inhibit alopecia progression and stimulate hair growth due to their diverse phytochemical and pharmacological properties in vitro and in vivo.

This review provides an overview of the ethno-medical uses, chemical components, and pharmaceutical profile of the plant Myrtus, but reports no new research findings.

This review reported that the dwarf palm (Chamaerops humilis) is traditionally used in North Africa for treating diabetes and gastrointestinal diseases, and identified a need for more research on its pharmacological and ethnobotanical properties, particularly in relation to its potential cancer-fighting uses.

This study found that methanolic extract of Eclipta alba leaves exhibited strong antibacterial effects against certain pathogens including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, but it showed no activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including drug-resistant strains.

In this study, a herbal hair wax stick incorporating extracts of Tulsi, Amla, and Bhringraj was formulated and evaluated, with the F3 formulation showing the best balance of pH, spreadability, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activity, suggesting it as a natural alternative to synthetic hair styling products.

This study found that fruit extracts from certain Egyptian Sabal species demonstrated significant anti-androgenic activity and potential therapeutic effects against benign prostatic hyperplasia in rat models and cell lines.

In this study, the combination of petroleum ether extracts from Jacquinia ruscifolia flowers and Thuja orientalis strobili demonstrated synergistic larvicidal effects against third-instar Culex quinquefasciatus larvae, achieving 100% mortality at 250 ppm with noted synergism particularly in a 1:2 ratio.

This study found that undiluted mint leaf extract effectively inhibited multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and killed Culex pipiens larvae, suggesting its potential as a biocontrol strategy around hospitals.

This narrative review examines the traditional uses and pharmacological properties of Eclipta alba, emphasizing its potential benefits like hepatoprotective and hair growth-promoting effects, but highlights the need for more clinical validation and a focus on preserving traditional knowledge.

This study identified that the biosynthetic pathways for coumestans in Eclipta prostrata are derived from acetate and shikimate pathways, while phenylpropanoid biosynthesis is exclusively from the shikimate pathway.
