Time period required for hair regrowth after applying onion juice for hair loss - Dr. Mini Nair
April 2017
Onion juice seems to sound very strange for hair fall. But I have personally seen it to be very effective in cases of alopecia areata and androgenic alopecia. the juice of onion is applied to the affected area for 15 minutes in some cases till two hours or in some cases even for overnight. Initially there is an irritation that actually helps in stimulation and later for a period of six to eight weeks when you continue the process the hair regrowth are seen. Onion juice is very helpful because the Juice extract contains sulphur. Sulphur in fact helps and contributes to hair growth and for the bones as well as nails and it is also found to be very helpful in treating it has an antifungal or an antimicrobial effect. That is why it is seen to be very helpful in this alopecia areata or in some conditions you know we mix it with coconut oil and then give it as a regular applicant. This stimulates hair fall and also helps in as an antioxidant also. This is what we see when onion juice is used for hair fall.
