GlossaryEmodin

naturally occurring compound in plants with medicinal properties

Emodin is a naturally occurring compound found in various plants, such as rhubarb and buckthorn. It has been studied for its potential medicinal properties, including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antimicrobial effects. In the context of hair and alopecia, emodin has shown promise in promoting hair growth by stimulating hair follicles and reducing inflammation.

community Surprisingly thorough study on He-Shou-Wu/Fo Ti

in Research/Science 14 upvotes 2 years ago

He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
