Hair loss or Alopecia, is a dermatological condition that not only affects an individual's physical appearance but also carries significant psychosocial implications. The loss of hair can have a profound impact on a person's self-esteem and overall well-being. To address this concern, traditional knowledge has often associated the fruit of Emblica officinalis Gaertn, commonly known as Amla, with hair growth-promoting properties. This study aimed to scientifically evaluate the potential of E. officinalis in promoting hair growth. The research involved the creation of a hydrogel containing a 5% hydro-alcoholic extract of E. officinalis and assessing its efficacy in promoting hair growth. The formulated gels were applied topically to the shaved skin of Wistar albino rats, serving as a model for evaluating the impact on hair growth. The results were striking: the Amla gel formulation demonstrated a significant improvement in both hair length and hair density. Moreover, it consistently and significantly increased hair length (p -value less than 0.001) and hair density after 30 days of treatment. This indicates that Amla extract, when incorporated into a hydrogel, is highly effective in stimulating hair growth. In summary, the study highlights the significant potential of E. officinalis (Amla) as a natural remedy for promoting hair growth. The use of a hydro-alcoholic extract in a hydrogel base proves to be a promising approach for harnessing the hair growth-promoting properties of Amla. Such findings are not only of scientific interest but also offer hope to individuals struggling with hair loss, as they seek effective solutions to this common dermatological concern with substantial psychological implications.
