Androgenetic alopecia and Alopecia areata are the two most prevalent forms of Alopecia. Therefore, to treat these conditions, numerous synthetic drugs are being used. However, with the use of these synthetic drugs, it was found that they potentially cause severe adverse effects. Researchers have therefore investigated natural substances for their anti-alopecia properties, which have less or no side effects, while being cost-effective alternatives to chemically synthesized medications with economic benefits grounded in their sustainability, mainly due to their minimal clinical trial expenditures and patent protections.
