Hair Growth Efficacy of Recoding Super Hair Tonic Prepared with Rehmannia, Cnidium, Angelica, and Paeonia
Let's explore the hair growth effects of the natural ingredient mixture—primarily composed of Rehmannia glutinosa (숙지황), Cnidium officinale (천궁), Angelica gigas (당귀), and Paeonia lactiflora (백작약)—used as key components in the Recoding Super Hair Tonic (spray-type treatment).
Recoding Super Hair Tonic is a hair loss treatment designed to be sprayed onto the affected area and its surroundings. It is often prescribed alongside oral medications to maximize the overall therapeutic effect.
The active ingredients in Recoding Super Hair Tonic are not limited to a single component; rather, a blend of several ingredients is typically used. This is because Lee Moon Won Clinic individually adjusts the key ingredients and their concentrations based on the patient's degree of hair loss and scalp condition. In this post, we present a hair growth efficacy test of a natural mixture specifically containing Rehmannia, Cnidium, Angelica, and Paeonia. This particular formulation can be used on both oily and dry scalps and is versatile enough to be applied regardless of the level of scalp inflammation. However, please note that it may have a slight stickiness and a unique herbal scent, which some users may find inconvenient.
Verification of Hair Growth Efficacy through Animal Testing
Methodology
- Subjects: C57BL/6N mice
- Procedure: The control group was treated with a 6% ethyl alcohol solution, while the experimental group was treated with a 6% ethyl alcohol solution containing extracts of Rehmannia, Cnidium, Angelica, and Paeonia. Both solutions were applied to the back of the mice twice daily.
Results
After 15 Days: Photos taken on Day 15 revealed a distinct difference between the control and experimental groups. While the control group showed little new hair growth even after 15 days, the experimental group demonstrated significant hair regrowth across a substantial area.
After 18 Days: There was no significant change in the control group between Day 15 and Day 18. In contrast, by Day 18, the hair in the experimental group had almost completely regrown.
Conclusion
Through this experiment, the natural mixture primarily composed of Rehmannia, Cnidium, Angelica, and Paeonia was proven to have distinct hair growth induction and hair nourishment promotion properties.
