Clitoria ternatea, known as Sangu Poo, is a plant with a rich phytochemical profile, including terpenes, flavonoids, and alkaloids, which contribute to its diverse pharmacological activities. Traditionally used in Indian, Tamil, and Greco-Arab medicine, it exhibits antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties, supporting heart health, liver protection, and potentially cancer-related activities. Its extracts show promise in skincare, potentially slowing aging, protecting against light damage, reducing pigmentation, and promoting hair growth. Despite its potential, the lack of human trials and consistent quality control poses challenges, highlighting the need for improved testing and product design to fully realize its benefits.

The study investigated the effects of a herbal formulation using Emblica officinalis combined with a 2% minoxidil solution on hair growth. The herbal extract was prepared in varying concentrations and analyzed for its chemical properties. The results demonstrated that the combination of Emblica officinalis and minoxidil significantly enhanced hair growth by enlarging follicular size and prolonging the anagen and telogen phases. This suggests that the herbal extract, when used with minoxidil, can be a potent treatment for promoting hair growth.

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 review discusses the formulation and evaluation of a multipurpose herbal hair mask using natural ingredients such as Emblica officinalis, Azadirachta indica, Trigonella foenum-graecum, and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis. It highlights the benefits of herbal hair masks over synthetic formulations, including nourishment, conditioning, dandruff control, and hair growth promotion. The review covers various preparation techniques and evaluation parameters, such as organoleptic, physicochemical, phytochemical, microbiological, and stability studies, emphasizing the synergistic effects of herbal ingredients in enhancing hair health while reducing adverse effects.
