Transcription: What Is Eclipta Alba? Eclipta Alba, also known as Bhringaraj and False Daisy, is an ayurvedic herb found in India, China, Thailand, and Brazil. The herb has been used for thousands of years as part of many cultural medicinal practices (including Ayurveda, Unani, and Siddha). In India alone, E. Alba is used for gastrointestinal disorders, respiratory tract disorders, hair loss, liver disorders, and more. Why is this herb so popular? Take a look at the herb’s constituents: Including alkaloids, flavonoids, sterols, and phenolic acids, this herb has much to offer in health and nutritional support. How Effective is Eclipta Alba for Treating Hair Loss? I’ve mentioned above that E. Alba has been used traditionally to treat hair problems. Let’s take a closer look at how the herb is effective in treating hair loss. It Promotes Hair Follicle Neogenesis It was once believed that hair follicles – the structure which hair grows from – were unable to regenerate. However, decades of research have proved this theory otherwise. Essentially, hair follicle neogenesis is the regeneration of previously ‘lost’ or dead hair follicles. Neogenesis can happen as a result of micro-injury (such as through microneedling) or through the use of a growth-maintaining culture. Another way to regenerate hair follicles is through the use of natural supplements, including E. Alba. When applied to the scalp, E. Alba can stimulate hair follicles. This was seen in a research study on nude mice (which we’ll get into below). It Induces Anagen Phase Hair Growth Within the hair follicle, three main phases of hair growth occur. They are: 1. Anagen. 2. Catagen. 3. Telogen. Through this process (which typically takes a number of years to complete), the hair buds from the follicle, grows, and then sheds. Unfortunately, this shedding can sometimes take place prematurely, and this is known as telogen effluvium. ------------------------------- (For a full list of resources, check the original blog post) Disclaimer This video is for educational purposes only and is not intended to treat, diagnose or cure any disease
