Introduction

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune illness that causes your hair to fall out, frequently in quarter-sized clumps. This illness, which can result in hair loss anywhere on the body, is brought on when the body assaults its own hair follicles, where hair grows. A round or oval bald patch appears on the scalp in many cases of alopecia areata. It can start at any age, but most people develop it during their childhood or adolescence. It is much more common in men. Alopecia, a dermatological condition that has been known about for more than 2000 years, is a frequent issue in both aesthetic and general medical settings. It is widespread throughout the world and is thought to impact 0.2% to 2% of everyone on the planet ^1-2. Although the primary form of alopecia areata is the most prevalent, more uncommon types are mentioned as:

Alopecia totalis: In which the person loses all hair on the scalp, resulting in a completely bald scalp.

Diffuse alopecia areata: Is characterized by sudden hair thinning rather than lost patches.

Ophiasis alopecia areata: Is characterized by hair loss in a band around the sides and back of your head.

Symptoms

Hair loss is the most common symptom of alopecia areata. Typically, hair falls out in patches on the scalp. These patches are frequently a few centimeters in size or less.

Other parts of the face, such as the brows, eyelashes, and beard, as well as other parts of the body, may experience hair loss. Some people only lose hair in a few areas. Others drop it in multiple places.

 Minor bald spots on your scalp or other parts of your body are possible with skin lesions that tingle, burn, or itch just before a person’s hair falls out. There are also a few scattered short coloured or white hairs within the hairless patch.

Causes

Alopecia areata is a type of autoimmune disorder. This means that your immune system has misidentified a part of your body and is attacking it. Immune system cells surround and attack the hair follicles in alopecia areata patients. When a hair follicle is attacked, the attached hair falls out. The more hair follicles your immune system destroys, the more hair loss you will experience. Apart from this, the most common cause of hair loss is an inherited disorder that develops with age. Because of physical and emotional trauma, changes in hormones and negative effects of certain medications may also lead to excessive hair loss. Another cause of hair loss is excessive keratin treatments and hair styling which leads in reducing hair volume along with damage of  hair follicles.

Description

Herbal Remedies

There isn’t a magic pill to grow hair, but studies have shown that several herbs can either halt hair loss or encourage new growth. It might be safe to utilize herbal medicines as a topical hair treatment^3-4. Your hair follicles and hair development can be stimulated by massaging your scalp and applying an herbal serum, hair mask, or hair conditioner. Below, we’ve discussed a few herbs and their treatments that may strengthen hair, enhance scalp health, increase hair thickness, or speed up the hair development cycle.

Herbal Products

There are currently many synthetic treatments for alopecia, including corticosteroids, dithranol, tretinoin, minoxidil, zinc, systematic cortisone, irritants, immuno-suppressive medications, finasteride, and azelaic acid, but neither a single drug nor a combination of drugs is providing patients with alopecia with satisfactory and long-lasting results. Additionally, using these synthetic substances has been linked to a number of negative side effects, such as erythema, scaling, pruritus, dermatitis, itching, etc. As a result, we’ve gone into nature’s wealth to find a variety of herbs that have a track record of successfully treating alopecia in order to deal with the problem of hair loss. The postulated mechanisms of action of herbal medicines include nutritional support for the products as well as increased scalp blood circulation^6-9.

Various studies (mainly randomized, placebo-controlled) have been conducted on plants and plant-derived compounds to support their efficacy in treating hair loss. Curcuma aeruginosa (pink and blue ginger), Serenoa repens (palmetto), Cucurbita pepo (pumpkin), Pilocarpus 

(jaborandi), and Panax ginseng are the plants having the strongest evidence-based efficacy against alopecia¹⁰.

The currently available synthetic drug-based conventional therapy for hair loss is still not perfect and has a number of drawbacks. It has generated more interest in less harmful alternative treatments, such as herbal formulations and/or their active ingredients. The current state of knowledge regarding topically applied herbal products for the treatment of hair loss collected on the basis of preclinical and clinical trials was compiled for this purpose using a number of electronic databases and hand-searched references. Additionally, their mode of action, follicular penetration, advantages and disadvantages of herbal products for alopecia is described along with manufacturing details, cost, dose and indications^11-13.

Hair Oil

Herbal hair oil products may contain a variety of herbal extracts or botanicals. Herbal hair oil is a product with an oil basis made from herbs with the goal of enhancing hair development. These frequently claim to help with hair damage or growth. Oils like olive oil, jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, and almond oil may enhance hair elasticity and guard against dryness and damage.

Hair Shampoo

Shampoos made with active herbal elements unquestionably prevent hair shaft damage in addition to cleaning the scalp. Whatever the illness or condition—dermatitis, alopecia, for example—it is preferable that the hair strands be kept visually pleasing, retaining their softness and compatibility while curing the scalp.

Hair Tonic

Alopecia, or hair loss, is treated with the help of active herbs found in herbal hair tonics. A hair tonic is made specifically to aid in boosting blood flow to the hair follicles to promote healthy hair growth. An herbal hair tonic hydrates a dry scalp and lessens breakage and split ends, regardless of whether your hair is thinning, splitting apart at the ends, or falling out more frequently than usual.

Hair Cream & Hair Gels

Herbal oils and water are often utilized to make herbal creams. Compared to herbal ointments, they have less oil and more water, and your skin may readily absorb them.

Herbal extracts are combined with a gel base in herbal gels. Typically, they don’t have oil in them.

Advantages of herbal hair products

The main advantage of herbal hair products is that there is no use of harmful chemicals in their preparations. These products are generally recyclable and biodegradable hence, they are ecofriendly. They remove dirt from the scalp without removing the natural oils that are essential for a healthy scalp hence, they strengthen hair follicles and prevents hair loss. The herbs which are used for making herbal hair products are widely accessible, inexpensive, and come in a wide variety leading to an economically friendly product for treating hair loss.

Disadvantages of herbal hair products

The main disadvantage of herbal hair products is their storage as herbs can be harmed by moisture hence it is advised that these products should always be kept in a dry and cool place. Also storing herbal hair products for extended period of time, especially in the presence of sunlight may promote the growth of bacteria and fungi. Another disadvantage is production of herbal hair products which is a labor-intensive and time-consuming process hence it is a challenging process. Apart from this, it has been identified that the use of herbal hair products for treating hair loss is an on going treatment.
