Normal hair loss on a healthy head is between 50 and 100 hairs a day. Alopecia is a disorder in which the follicles in certain people start losing hair prematurely because they are not healthy, increasing the pace at which hair falls. Alopecia can be caused by poor nutrition, chronic stress, genetics, or other factors, and there are several types, each with a unique cause and symptom. Apart from improving quality of life, using methods like hair treatments or transplants, many homeopathic herbal ingredients are reported useful in managing alopecia and hair fall. This study was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a formulation Zauberӧl® containing Arnica montana, Ceanothus americanus, Eclipta prostrata, Hibiscus Rosa sinensis, Jaborandi, Murraya koenigii, Sabal serrulata & Thuja occidentalis in testosterone-induced alopecia in Wistar rats.
