Abstract: A common issue that affects people of all ages and genders, hair loss frequently leads to psychological stress and a decline in self-esteem. Although there are synthetic therapies like minoxidil and finasteride, using them for an extended period of time might cause negative effects including allergic reactions, hormonal imbalance, and scalp irritation. Because of its historic therapeutic effectiveness, safety, and biocompatibility, natural and herbal therapies for hair growth promotion have gained popularity. Using medicinal plant extracts with hair-promoting qualities, such as Eclipta Alba, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, Emblica officinalis, Azadirachta indica, and Cuscuta reflexa, the current study attempts to create and assess a herbal hair growth tonic. Organoleptic characteristics, pH, viscosity, microbial load, and in vivo hair growth experiments on animal models were among the assessment factors. The treated group's anagen/telogen ratio, follicular density, and hair length were all higher than those of the control group, according to the results. During the monitoring period, the herbal formulation also demonstrated high microbiological and physical stability. To sum up, the herbal hair tonic offers a natural, safe, and efficient substitute for hair growth products that include chemicals. Clinical studies, improved delivery methods, and product commercialization may be the main topics of future study.
