Hair loss treatment: Onion juice promotes hair growth within two weeks
Hair loss treatments have to mount enormous obstacles to produce convincing results. Attempting to thwart the mechanisms that underpin hair loss, which can be both environmental and genetic, is no small feat. Despite the challenges, researchers have discovered some surprising solutions, such as applying onion juice.
A study published in the Journal of Dermatology sought to assess the effectiveness of topical crude onion juice in the treatment of patchy alopecia areata in comparison with tap water.
Alopecia areata is a condition that causes hair to fall out in small patches, which can be unnoticeable.
The patients were divided into two groups: The first group (onion juice treated) consisted of 23 patients, 16 males and seven females. Their ages ranged between five to 42 years.
The second group consisted of 15 patients, eight males and seven females. Their ages ranged between three to 35 years.
