Essential Oil The Ultimate Thread (experiment)

[kj6723]

Interesting! How long have you been applying minoxidil and have you had any regowth 1 months before you started with peppermint oil?

I've been on Finasteride since May 2016 and minoxidil since March 2016, with very gradual regrowth. I skipped minoxidil for about a month in December

I'd say since adding the other items the regrowth is now taking place at a rate that I can actually observe

I'm happy that you have succes, I would def guess then that tretionin or peppermint oil doing something. But hard to know if its enhancing minoxidil effect or playing by its own mechanism

Maybe it's doing both! Idk, but this regimen is moving me in a good direction so I will likely be sticking with it for a while

Yes keep us updated! I really believe peppermint oil as an effectful anti-androgen. I remember when I drank tea 1-2 times a day and my body hair thinned out. Also dont you think 4 % is too much. There was som discussion that peppermint oil maybe has epilatory effect although I wouldnt worry about it high doses can by cytotoxic.

I never heard of it as an anti-androgen. I'll have to look into that. I could definitely see how it could be anti inflammatory though.

As far as the percent, idk man. I can only speak for the results I'm getting. Definitely a little goes a long way, as the cooling sensation is pretty intense even from just a little bit

Okey! It is believed to have anti-androgenetic effects in many anedocts and some research that also suggest it. It is a well known penetration enhancer also. But I would reduce the dose to 1 %. Up to you tho, good luck!

Can you link me to any studies or anything showing peppermint oil to be epilatory? Or what percentage would have that effect?

Armando, I am thinking of using the EO approach and just to get my calculations right. I got 60ml of carrier oil, and would like to mix 6 EO's. Would this mean I would only add a max of 5% for the total of all EO's? Or 5% for each EO?

I am planning on adding 3ml of each EO. Is this right?

I've been using cedarwood oil neat for the last few days and I've noticed a significant decline in hair loss, plus I have another mix of essential oils and emu oil which I apply after so far so good!

well I recently tried some paul mitchell tea tree oil shampoo and conditioner and it was waaaaaaaaay to harsh on my scalp. Like my scalp was pink and burning for days after. Maybe its the fact it has some double sulfate action, and thats the problem but whatever the case that has a number of essential oils in it so i was hoping that would work but its gonna be a pass for me.

Anyone ever try some jamican castor oil shampoos etc how did they work?

Again im trying to go with the idea if we are already diluting essential oils so much anyway whats the difference between that and just buying a shampoo wiht a lot of essential oils in it already. Besides well.. price its probably cheaper.. or who knows if thats even true never tried...

I know this is not an oil, but im experimenting with Bayberry extract for topical. Every thing ive read shows that Bayberry is extremely potent at inhibiting DHT. Ive even read that Bayberry is more potent than any drug as a topical.

What do u guys think about getting argan oil and then crush and cut pepparmint,ginger, garlic and rosemary. Then mix it with the oil and let it sit for a week. Do u guys think that is enough for the substances that helps against hair loss to get released into the oil?

Any updates by any chance?
