Among all the curative herbs for hair growth, we can point out the following:
Horsetail infusions help to keep your hair healthy

- Dandelion and milk thistle: (Taraxacum officinale, Silybum marianum) for their richness in iron, the leaves of dandelion and milk thistle may help maintain good health of our hair. (Eat fresh leaves in salad) The the tender leaves of dandelion and milk thistle are, among others, highly recommended edible wild plants.
- Blackcurrant: (Ribes nigrum) Many hair growth problems are because, over the years, the capillaries that supply the hair provide much less blood and, therefore, far fewer nutrients to the scalp.
To take preparations from the fruit of the black currant can help improve the health of hair and stop or prevent their fall. (Fluid extract, syrup or tincture of black currant according to the terms of the patient’s leaflet. For sale in pharmacies or herbalists)
