Millions of men and women worldwide suffer from hair loss. While there are many medical treatments available, more people are turning to natural and herbal remedies as safer, gentler alternatives to encourage hair regrowth. At Rejali Medical, we believe in blending modern science with nature’s wisdom. In this blog, we’ll explore some of the most promising topical herbal treatments that may support hair growth.
Topical herbal remedies are applied directly to the scalp, targeting the root of the problem—literally. These remedies often come with fewer side effects compared to synthetic chemicals and can be easily incorporated into your hair care routine. Many herbs contain powerful compounds like antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and natural DHT blockers that may stimulate hair follicles and improve scalp health.
