Can rubbing ginger every day help hair growth?

Ginger is a common ingredient in life and is a must-have seasoning in many families' kitchens. Adding some ginger when cooking will make the dishes taste better. Ginger can not only be used as an ingredient, but also has therapeutic effects. Regular consumption of ginger can remove cold from the body, relieve menstrual pain symptoms in girls, and treat colds. Of course, rubbing ginger on the hair can also promote hair growth.

Case 1

Ginger is warm in nature, and its unique "gingerol" can stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa, causing gastrointestinal congestion and enhancing digestion ability. When ginger is applied to the scalp, it can cause congestion in the scalp and promote blood circulation, and blood is one of the keys to hair growth.

Case 2

Therefore, this effect of congestion and stimulation of blood circulation can improve hair growth to a certain extent, especially for people with mental alopecia and kidney deficiency alopecia, the effect is very obvious. In addition, some people also use ginger to grow beards and eyebrows, the principle is the same.

Case 3

We know that rubbing ginger on the scalp can indeed solve some hair loss problems, but this does not mean that all hair loss can be treated by rubbing ginger on the scalp. Some types of hair loss are not caused by blood circulation. In this case, rubbing the scalp with ginger may not have any effect and may easily over-irritate the scalp.

Case 4

In addition, not everyone is suitable for rubbing the scalp with ginger, because some people cannot tolerate the strong irritation of ginger and may even have an allergic reaction. If this is the case, you can soak ginger in water and wash your hair with ginger water, which can also have a good effect.

Case 5

Whether rubbing ginger on your scalp is helpful depends mainly on the type of hair loss you have. If your hair loss is caused by poor blood circulation, using ginger to stimulate blood circulation may have a good effect.

Case 6

If your hair loss is caused by other reasons, such as genetics, kidney deficiency, etc., then rubbing your scalp with ginger will hardly have a significant effect. Therefore, rubbing ginger on the scalp to treat hair loss is not a panacea and should be used according to the type of hair loss.
