Green tea has been found to have the ability to accelerate hair growth

With age, inevitable changes occur in the body, including hair loss. Moreover, not only men, but also women face the problem. However, you can stop this process with the help of a natural remedy.

Green tea has been famous for its many health benefits for centuries. Now it turned out that it can be a means that prevents baldness and accelerates hair growth.

The drink is rich in antioxidants, with most of them coming from compounds known as catechins. The most powerful catechin in green tea is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). It is he who is associated with reducing the risk of heart diseases and some types of cancer.

Useful for the health of hair follicles and epidermis. The substance reduces hair loss, prevents their thinning, treats dandruff, psoriasis and relieves flaking of the scalp.

In addition, it was found that green tea affects hair growth. “EGCG may be useful in the prevention or treatment of androgenetic alopecia through a mechanism of selective inhibition of 5-alpha-reductase activity. We hypothesize that EGCG stimulates human hair growth through proliferative and anti-apoptotic effects on hair papilla cells," the researchers said.
