Abstract
Hair growth problems can affect human physical and mental health and are of particular relevance during the aging process. In an effort to resolve such problems, an attempt has been made to evaluate the hair growth promotion activity of fresh leaf extracts of Naringi crenulata by using rodent model. Crude extracts of 0.2 ml were applied over the shaved skin onto the backs of wistar rats and monitored for 30 days. After 30 days, rats were treated with acetone and Chloroform produced a greater effect on the length and weight of hair, number of hair follicles, blood circulation and colouration of shaved skin as compared to the control groups. Therefore the results of this study suggest that, Naringi crenulata has hair growth promoting potential, the effect of which may be attributed to the presence of terpenoids and flavonoids in the plant extracts.
Highlights
Hair is one of the vital parts of body derived from ectoderm of the skin and it is one of the protective appendages on the body [1]
The present study was focused on the scientific investigation of the hair growth potential of the leaf extracts of N. crenulata
Rats treated with 0.2 ml of acetone extract produced a significant effect on the hair growth when compared to other groups (Figure 3)
Summary
Hair is one of the vital parts of body derived from ectoderm of the skin and it is one of the protective appendages on the body [1]. It is an important of the overall appeal of the human body [2,3]. It is important to develop new therapies that prevent hair loss and increase hair growth In this respect, alternative medicine has attracted interest, it has not yet been included into mainstream of medical care, due to the limited scientific proofs and incomplete knowledge of the mechanisms involved [4]. The present study was focused on the scientific investigation of the hair growth potential of the leaf extracts of N. crenulata
