These sources collectively explore androgenetic alopecia (AGA), a common form of hair loss, and various treatment approaches, particularly focusing on natural alternatives to conventional medications. They discuss how dihydrotestosterone (DHT) causes hair follicle miniaturization, leading to AGA, and acknowledge the efficacy of FDA-approved drugs like finasteride and minoxidil while also highlighting their potential side effects. A significant portion of the text details several herbal remedies such as rosemary oil, pumpkin seed oil, green tea, saw palmetto, and lavender oil, examining their proposed mechanisms and the available scientific evidence, which often shows promising but limited clinical support. The sources additionally caution against unsubstantiated claims regarding certain natural remedies and stress the importance of considering the rate of hair loss when choosing between natural and pharmaceutical interventions.
