5 homemade rosemary oil recipes for hair loss and growth

If you have noticed that your hair is falling out a lot, either due to stress or some illness you have faced such as the flu, you may be interested in rosemary oil.

Although there is no scientific proof, rosemary oil is traditionally used by many cultures, especially in Mediterranean countries, with the aim of accelerating hair growth and combating hair loss, preventing baldness.

This effect would be obtained due to a series of benefits of rosemary oil, such as the fact that it is rich in antioxidants – substances that fight the damage caused by free radicals derived from pollution and chemical agents –, leaving hair follicles healthier.

Another property of this oil is its antimicrobial power. Due to this characteristic, it would be able to fight bacteria and fungi, preventing the emergence of dandruff and inflammation that could cause hair loss.

In addition, rosemary essential oil would have the ability to fight inflammation in the scalp, favor cell division and cause local vasodilation, increasing blood flow.

All this would act as a very beneficial stimulus for hair follicles, resulting in a decrease in hair loss and an acceleration of hair growth.

Wash your hair in the morning to remove the product.

If these recipes do not have the desired effect and you continue to notice that your hair does not grow or that you are losing a lot of hair, it is worth making an appointment with a dermatologist to find out and treat the cause of the problem.
