—Your mixture of onion juice, rosemary, and cloves may help improve scalp health and slightly reduce hair fall, but it’s not a guaranteed hair regrowth solution. -Can help with circulation and scalp nourishment. -May irritate if used daily; 2–3 times/week is safer. -Stress, diet, and scalp hygiene are also crucial. -Persistent hair fall >6 months should be examined — kindly do some tests for proper evaluation - thyroid profile - vt.B12, vt.D

Your blend of onion juice + rosemary + cloves is a popular natural remedy. How Each Ingredient Works Onion juice: Contains sulfur compounds that may improve scalp circulation and reduce dandruff. Some small studies suggest it can stimulate regrowth in patchy hair loss (alopecia areata), but results vary. Rosemary: Known for improving blood flow to the scalp and reducing inflammation. Rosemary oil has been studied for hair regrowth and shown benefits similar to minoxidil in some trials. Cloves: Antimicrobial and antioxidant, can help reduce scalp infections and dandruff, but direct evidence for hair regrowth is limited. ADV: Neem oil- for dandruff WARM REGARDS DR. ANJALI SEHRAWAT

Yes, it helps especially when stress is a trigger, but results are moderate and take time Add these for better & faster results ✓Internal: Amla powder 1 tsp morning with water Black sesame seeds 1 tsp roasted daily Ashwagandha 500 mg night (capsule/powder) – reduces stress-induced fall ✓External: Neem oil + coconut oil (1:3) massage 2×/week at night Aloe vera gel after washing (soothes scalp) ✓Lifestyle: 10 min Anulom-Vilom pranayama daily (stress control – biggest hidden trigger) No tight hairstyles, heat tools, harsh shampoos ✓If no improvement in 2–3 months See dermatologist (rule out seborrheic dermatitis, fungal infection or androgenetic alopecia) Blood tests to be done ferritin, vitamin D, B12, thyroid Regards Dr Gursimran Jeet Singh MD Panchakarma
