Hair Loss

Both rosemary and stinging nettle are believed to offer several beneficial effects for hair growth:

Rosemary:

Stimulates Hair Follicles:

Rosemary contains ursolic acid which helps to increase scalp circulation. Improved circulation can stimulate the hair follicles, promoting healthier hair growth.

Antioxidant Properties:

It is rich in antioxidants which help to fight free radicals, protecting the scalp and hair follicles from damage.

Anti-inflammatory:

Rosemary has anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe irritated scalp conditions, potentially promoting a healthier environment for hair growth.

DHT Blocking:

Some research suggests that rosemary may inhibit the production of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a hormone associated with hair loss in both men and women.

Improved Scalp Health:

Regular use of rosemary oil or extract can help maintain scalp health, reducing dandruff and excess oil production.

Stinging Nettle:

DHT Inhibition:

Stinging nettle contains compounds that may block the conversion of testosterone into DHT, thereby potentially reducing hair loss associated with high levels of DHT.

Nutrient-Rich:

Nettle is rich in vitamins and minerals such as vitamins A and C, calcium, iron, and silica, which are all essential for healthy hair growth.

Scalp Health:

Its anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe scalp conditions like eczema and psoriasis, creating a healthier environment for hair growth.

Blood Circulation:

Nettle promotes better blood circulation, which can enhance the delivery of nutrients to the hair follicles, promoting stronger and healthier hair.

Hair Shine and Strength:

Regular use of nettle can improve the overall condition of the hair, adding shine and strength.
