- Kimchi juice can reverse hair loss and promote hair growth
- Kimchi is safer and healthier than other drugs that promote hair growth
Kimchi, mainly made from cabbage mixed with a variety of spices, is easily the most popular dish in Korea.
Recently, it has been revealed that juice made from the dish can in fact reverse hair loss.
Dankook University scientists did a study with 23 participants.
The participants were experiencing hair loss but after drinking the local juice, their scalp hair became thicker and they were also able to grow new follicles after several weeks.
They were asked to drink the juice before breakfast and before bedtime for four months. After the first month was over, participants saw their hair rise from 85 per square centimeter to 90. After four months, the number went up to 92.
The scientists say that drugs that promote hair growth only give temporary results. “Current drugs can have adverse effects so their use is usually temporary.”
Furthermore, scientists say that that kimchi is healthier and safer for hair growth. “We found kimchi could promote hair growth and reverse baldness. It is a safer treatment strategy for patients.”
Other studies suggest that Kimchi and other similar dishes can reduce anxiety.
The study was published in the World Journal of Men’s Health.
