August 2023 in “Health Sciences and Pharmacy Journal” This review article examines the use of natural ingredients for treating Alopecia, highlighting their lower side effects compared to synthetic drugs. Through a systematic literature review of 26 original articles, it identifies 10 plants—candlenut, clove, meniran, cinnamon, pumpkin, shallot, licorice, paku gajah, starfruit, and sansevieria—that have shown effectiveness in inhibiting the progression of Alopecia and stimulating hair growth.
