    TLDR Combining herbal medicines with modern delivery systems may improve alopecia treatment.
    This integrative review discusses the management of alopecia, emphasizing the potential of combining synthetic treatments with herbal medicines and phytochemicals like epigallocatechin gallate, curcumin, and essential oils for their beneficial properties. While conventional treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are effective, they can have adverse effects, leading to interest in alternative therapies. The review highlights innovative transdermal drug delivery systems, such as nanocarriers and microneedles, to improve skin penetration and therapeutic outcomes. By integrating traditional remedies with modern technologies, future treatments for alopecia may enhance efficacy, reduce side effects, and increase patient satisfaction.
