Does stinging nettle help baldness?

There is some evidence that stinging nettle may help with baldness. Stinging nettle has been used in traditional medicine to treat hair loss, as well as promote hair growth. It is thought that stinging nettle may help by blocking the action of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which can cause hair loss. Additionally, stinging nettle is believed to contain compounds that may help to reduce inflammation and promote circulation to the scalp, which can help to promote hair growth. However, more research is needed to confirm these effects.

Is stinging nettle a DHT blocker?

Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) is believed to be a natural DHT blocker. Studies have shown that it can inhibit the activity of an enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into DHT (dihydrotestosterone). However, more studies are needed to confirm the efficacy of stinging nettle as a DHT blocker. Additionally, it is important to note that stinging nettle may cause side effects, such as skin irritation and stomach upset. Therefore, it is recommended to talk to your healthcare provider before taking stinging nettle as a DHT blocker.
