This synthesis aims to evaluate the evidence supporting the use of rosemary for hair growth based on multiple research studies.
Hair Growth Promotion in Animal Models:
Comparison with Minoxidil:
Mechanisms of Action:
Safety and Side Effects:
The collective evidence from multiple studies suggests that rosemary oil and extracts are effective in promoting hair growth, comparable to minoxidil, a standard hair growth treatment. The active compounds in rosemary contribute to its efficacy by protecting hair from damage and stimulating growth through various biological mechanisms. Additionally, rosemary oil appears to have a favorable safety profile with fewer side effects. Therefore, rosemary can be considered a viable natural alternative for hair growth promotion.
