In Vivo Study: Potential of Celery Essential Oil (Apium Graveolens L.) as a Hair Growth Agent in Male New Zealand White Rabbits

The study investigated the potential of celery essential oil (Apium graveolens L.) as a natural hair growth agent using male New Zealand White rabbits. The oil was tested at concentrations of 1%, 1.5%, and 2% and compared to a negative control and 2% minoxidil. Results showed that celery essential oil significantly enhanced hair growth, with the 2% concentration achieving hair length and density comparable to 2% minoxidil. The study concluded that celery essential oil, particularly at 2% concentration, is a promising natural alternative for promoting hair growth.
