Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Chlorophytum species, particularly Chlorophytum borivilianum (commonly known as Safed Musli), have a long history of use in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. While there are claims in folk and Ayurvedic traditions that preparations containing Chlorophytum can improve general vitality, libido, and sometimes hair health, direct evidence for its use specifically in the treatment of hair loss or thinning is limited. Most references to Chlorophytum for hair health are anecdotal or appear in the context of multi-herb formulations, not as a standalone treatment. Available scientific literature focuses on its adaptogenic, aphrodisiac, and immunomodulatory properties but does not provide clinical evidence for efficacy in treating hair loss. No robust human studies or clinical trials directly assess the impact of Chlorophytum or its extracts on hair regrowth or prevention of hair thinning. Therefore, while there is some traditional basis for its inclusion in hair health or rejuvenation remedies, the evidence is weak and primarily based on broader claims of vitality rather than specific, substantiated effects on hair. Use for this indication remains largely unvalidated by modern science.
