November 2024 in “Clinical Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology” The document reviews natural alternatives for treating androgenetic alopecia, with a focus on rosemary oil, which has shown promising results due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-androgenic properties. A 2015 study with 100 male patients found rosemary oil comparable to 2% minoxidil in effectiveness, improving hair count and reducing scalp itching. Rosemary oil inhibits 5-alpha-reductase, crucial in managing androgenic alopecia.
