Can ginger juice be applied to the scalp to promote hair growth?

Nowadays, many people are suffering from hair loss, and baldness is a very headache. There are rumors on the Internet that balding people can grow hair by applying ginger juice. As long as they keep rubbing their scalp with fresh ginger slices or ginger juice several times a day, it won't take long for their hair to grow again. But is this statement true? Does ginger juice really have the effect of hair growth as said on the Internet? Can bald people grow hair by applying ginger juice? Recently, CCTV reporter "Is it true" visited relevant experts.

Qin Lina, director of the Rehabilitation Department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, said: "Balding, which is also called baldness at ordinary times, is called Mediterranean alopecia in medicine. Most patients like this are caused by genetic factors, and some of them are due to endocrine factors, that is, the secretion of androgen is too strong. It is unscientific for balding people to only apply ginger juice to grow hair, because the skin on their heads is very thin and bright, and the pores are very small. This shows that most of its hair follicles have shrunk and died. If you only apply ginger juice to promote hair growth, it will not only have no effect, but if the force is too large or the frequency is too large, it will accelerate the aging of hair follicles. "

experts tell us that the scalp hair follicles of balding people will gradually become smaller under the action of androgen, and even some hair follicles will eventually disappear completely, so applying ginger juice will not play any role. So, does ginger juice itself have the effect of hair growth? Does ginger hair growth work for everyone?

Yang Shuxia, deputy chief physician of dermatology department of Peking University No.1 Hospital, said: "There is no evidence to prove whether ginger juice can promote hair growth. In fact, there is a completely opposite result in the laboratory. After the extract from ginger is used for hair follicle culture or animal experiments, the growth of hair is inhibited. Does ginger have a therapeutic effect on alopecia? At present, there is a folk method of rubbing ginger with alopecia areata, which is effective for some people, but is it really ginger that is playing a therapeutic role and needs a large sample of clinical observation to prove it? Why do you say that? Because alopecia areata itself can heal itself, if alopecia areata is not very heavy, it will grow up after a while, so it is difficult to say whether it is the role of ginger or self-recovery. "

In addition, many people think that using the right shampoo is beneficial to hair growth. So, does this statement make sense?

Yang Shuxia said: "Hair growth and shedding will not be affected by shampoo, and all kinds of shampoos have no effect on hair loss."

Experts tell us that baldness is mostly determined by genetic factors and endocrine factors, and it is difficult to change it through daily self-care. However, some types of hair loss can be improved by self-adjustment.

Qin Lina said: "There are two types of hair loss that can be improved by adjusting the daily diet and routine. One type is caused by mental factors, such as great mental stress, long-term insomnia and irregular routine, which will cause hair loss. At this time, we can improve our mood by changing our routine, adjusting our mentality and relaxing. Another is hair loss caused by malnutrition, such as hair loss caused by diet control such as weight loss, and alopecia areata and pillow baldness caused by picky eaters in children. We can change it by supplementing some trace elements and adjusting the diet structure. "

From this point of view, if you want to make your hair healthy, you should first start with a balanced diet and reasonable sleep. In addition, experts remind us that if you are facing the problem of hair loss, you should seek medical advice in time and prescribe the right medicine, and never use folk remedies indiscriminately.
