Can ginger make hair grow thicker?

In fact, ginger has a certain hair growth effect, but it is not as magical as some manufacturers advertise. The reason why ginger can grow hair is mainly because ginger can stimulate the skin and promote blood circulation, thereby indirectly allowing the hair to get more nutrients, thus achieving the effect of hair growth. If you want to get effective treatment for your hair loss, it is more important to go to the hospital for a check-up to find out the cause of your hair loss so that the treatment can be targeted.

Some people try folk remedies, such as rubbing the scalp with slices of ginger, which is the most common method. The principle of wiping the scalp with ginger slices is that it can stimulate the blood circulation of the scalp to a certain extent and promote hair growth. However, this method is only suitable for people with alopecia areata and is ineffective for hereditary hair loss. Currently, almost all shampoos on the market that have anti-hair loss effects contain "ginger" in their ingredients. The "ginger anti-hair loss" shampoos sold at the counter are all claiming to use pure plant Alpinia galanga, from which essence, ginger oil, curcumin, etc. are extracted. They can not only nourish and darken hair, but also prevent hair loss and grow hair. The reporter found that these shampoos generally have a "ginger" smell.

There are many reasons for hair loss in patients. Excessive androgen secretion, endocrine disorders, malnutrition, etc. may all cause hair loss. In addition, medical diseases may also cause hair loss, as well as seasonal hair loss, congenital hair loss, etc. "Studies have shown that gingerol, the main component of ginger, not only cannot treat hair loss, but also inhibits hair growth."

There are many foods that can promote hair growth. In addition to ginger, honey and black sesame also have the effect of promoting hair growth. In addition, Polygonum multiflorum is a traditional Chinese medicine and a common tonic. It has a particularly good hair growth effect. It not only makes the hair thicker, but also makes the hair more shiny.
