        abstract = {Alopecia, also referred to as baldness or hair loss, is a multifactorial dermatological condition that affects 0.2–2% of people worldwide. Alopecia areata, androgenetic alopecia, scarring alopecia, and traction alopecia are some of its manifestations, each having unique etiological and clinical features. Despite their clinical efficacy, conventional treatment drugs like finasteride and minoxidil are frequently hindered by side effects and low patient compliance. The use of herbal and plant-based formulations as safer, more sustainable, and multipurpose alternatives for treating alopecia has gained popularity in recent years.
The physiology of hair growth, various forms of alopecia, and the therapeutic potential of a few medicinal plants—including Ginkgo biloba, Emblica officinalis, Aloe vera, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, Cuscuta reflexa, and Glycyrrhiza glabra—are highlighted in this article. These herbs have a variety of pharmacological qualities, including as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and nutrient-enriching effects, all of which work together to support hair growth and follicular regeneration. Along with physicochemical and pharmacological evaluation parameters crucial for standardization and quality assurance, marketed herbal formulations incorporating combinations of these plants are also covered.
The herbal medicines present a promising supplement to contemporary therapy for alopecia, and that more scientific validation, phytochemical standardization, and clinical studies are necessary to determine their safety and effectiveness in managing long-term hair regrowth.},
