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

Green tea has been famous for its many health benefits for centuries. Now it turns out that it can be an agent 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 associated with a reduction in the risk of heart disease and some types of cancer.

Beneficial for the health of hair follicles and the 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 androgenic alopecia through a mechanism of selective inhibition of 5-alpha-reductase activity. We hypothesize that EGCG stimulates human hair growth due to its proliferative and anti-apoptotic effects on hair papilla cells,” the researchers said.
