Rosemary, in both water and oil forms, is a potent natural remedy for hair loss. Rosemary water encourages hair growth, while adding rosemary oil to your shampoo can effectively cleanse the scalp. Its antibacterial and antifungal properties are highly beneficial for hair health. Furthermore, applying rosemary water on the scalp enhances blood circulation, preventing hair loss and promoting healthy hair growth.

A word of caution
While rosemary effectively combats hair loss, abruptly stopping its use can lead to increased hair fall and even trigger conditions like baldness. Therefore, it is not advisable to discontinue its usage suddenly.
