June 2026 in “International Journal of Drug Delivery Technology” This review explores herbal approaches for managing premature hair greying (PHG), focusing on mechanisms, phytoconstituents, and delivery strategies. It highlights the limitations of synthetic dyes and emphasizes the potential of herbal remedies to maintain follicular melanin, enhance antioxidant defenses, and improve melanogenic pathways. Ethnopharmacological leads from Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Japanese Kampo, and Unani medicine include Eclipta alba, Emblica officinalis, and others, with phytoconstituents like gallic acid and wedelolactone. Advanced delivery systems such as ethosomes and nanostructured lipid carriers may enhance treatment efficacy. However, the review stresses the need for botanical authenticity, standardization, toxicological profiling, and controlled trials to validate these treatments, suggesting they remain evidence-developing until further human research is conducted.
This study investigates the effectiveness of plum-blossom needle tapping combined with ginger juice rubbing in preventing hair loss in 96 female obese patients after metabolic bariatric surgery. Utilizing a 2×2 factorial design, participants are divided into four groups: control, plum-blossom needle tapping, ginger juice rubbing, and combined treatment. The primary outcome is hair loss incidence assessed by trichoscopy at 3 and 6 months post-treatment. Secondary outcomes include biochemical indicators, Traditional Chinese Medicine syndrome scores, and appearance anxiety. The trial aims to provide preliminary data on these traditional Chinese medicine techniques as potential interventions for postoperative hair loss, offering a basis for future large-scale research.
