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. Other natural treatments discussed include peppermint oil, tea tree oil, green tea, pumpkin seed oil, saw palmetto, and lavender oil, though further research is needed to confirm their efficacy. The document suggests that natural treatments like rosemary oil may offer viable alternatives with fewer side effects, but emphasizes the need for more research to fully understand their effectiveness and safety.
