Alopecia is a condition that causes baldness and hair loss. It is a medical disorder that causes hair loss, often from the scalp or head skin. There are several factors that might contribute to hair loss, including genetics, environment, pollutants, different drugs, nutritional deficiencies, etc. Hair loss condition is essentially divided into numerous groups based on hair loss pattern and its various causes. Hairs are the development of follicles that are present on our skin and are described as "increased epithelial structure created by the keratinization of germ cells" in the definition of hair. Herbal remedies are used both externally and inwardly to stop hair loss and early greying. Promises of improved hair growth and less hair loss. The foundation of all medical research is herbs. Since herbal medications have fewer negative side effects than synthetic treatments and more positive outcomes, almost 80% of individuals have started using them. Several synthetic therapies, including corticosteroids, dithranol, tretinoin, minoxidil, zinc, systemic cortisone, irritants, immunosuppressant’s, finasteride, and azelaic acid, are currently available to treat hair loss (androgenetic and areata), but none of these treatments have been shown to have positive and long-lasting effects on patients. These medications' synthetic side effects, such as erythema, scaliness, pruritus, dermatitis, itching, etc., are also linked to their usage. So, in order to address the issue of hair loss, we looked into nature's treasures and discovered a number of herbs that have a track record of successfully treating hair loss. These herbal medicines' claimed modes of action include improved scalp blood circulation, DHT and 5-Reductase blockers, aromatherapy, and nutritional support. Phyllanthus Emblica, Oscimum sanctum, allium cepa, allium sativum, Thea Sinensis, Eclipta alba, Cocas nucifera, Sesamum indicum, Centella asiatica, Terminalia Chebula, Emblica officinalis, and Trigonella Foenum graecum are a few examples of herbal medications used to treat alopecia.

Alopecia refers to the scientific word for diminished hair growth or balding. It describes a disease in which hairs falls off from one or more parts of your body, most commonly the scalp. Losing your hair might be triggered by a variety of factors, including hereditary traits, external factors, chemical exposure, medication, dietary insufficiency, chronic tension, or prolonged sickness, among others. Alopecia is categorized into different types depending upon its pattern of diminished hair growth and its genesis. The pursuit of effective treatments has led to the exploration of both synthetic and herbal medications. This study examines the performance, mechanisms of action, tolerability profiles, and limits of synthetic and herbal remedies for alopecia. Synthetic medications such as minoxidil and finasteride are commonly prescribed and have demonstrated varying degrees of success in clinical trials. However, concerns regarding adverse effects and long-term efficacy persist. Conversely, herbal medications, including saw palmetto, ginseng, and pumpkin seed oil, have gained popularity due to their perceived natural origin and potentially fewer side effects. Nevertheless, the scientific evidence supporting their efficacy remains limited and often inconclusive. Additionally, challenges in standardization and regulation pose significant barriers to the widespread adoption of herbal treatments. This study aims to provide healthcare professionals and patients with a comprehensive overview of the current landscape of synthetic and herbal medications for alopecia, highlighting the need for further research to elucidate their therapeutic potential and optimize patient outcomes.
