Historical records of ginger essential oil: can ginger essential oil promote hair growth?

Historical records of ginger essential oil and its development: For hundreds of years, India, China and Japan have widely used ginger in traditional cooking because of its medicinal properties and characteristics. The ancient Egyptians grew ginger and used it in cooking to avoid infectious diseases. The Romans used ginger for eye conditions; they would prepare a ginger medicine and apply a few drops to the eyes several times a day to treat severe cataracts. In the 12th century, the healer Saint Hildegard considered ginger a stimulant and tonic, and ginger has aphrodisiac properties, especially suitable for stimulating old men who marry young wives! In the Middle Ages, ginger was used to fight the Black Death (plague). Fresh ginger is even more familiar to Chinese people, and for hundreds of years it has been widely used in folk medicinal dishes and treatments. In the Pearl River Delta area, people boil ginger root in water to wash their hair to drive away head wind, rub ginger root on the back to treat colds and coughs, and extract essential oil from ginger root; using ginger root essential oil for health care and treatment is more convenient and effective.

The principle of ginger treating hair

Ginger is warm in nature, and its unique "gingerol" can stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa, causing congestion in the gastrointestinal tract and enhancing digestive ability. When ginger is applied externally to the scalp, it can cause scalp congestion and promote blood circulation, and blood is one of the keys to hair growth. Therefore, this congestion-stimulating blood circulation effect can improve hair growth to a certain extent, especially for people with psychogenic hair loss and kidney-deficiency hair loss, where the effect is very obvious. In addition, some people also use ginger for beard and eyebrow hair growth, and the principle is the same.
