NIH herbal documents (National Institutes of Health - USA) and Cleveland Clinic's natural hair care instructions note that chamomile is one of the herbs that has the effect of soothing the scalp, improving circulation and supporting healthy hair follicles.
According to NIH, chamomile contains apigenin, a natural flavonoid with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These substances help improve the scalp environment, reduce irritation - a factor that often causes hair to break easily. Thanks to its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, apigenin helps hair follicles function better, supporting rapid and strong hair growth.
Cleveland Clinic also says chamomile essential oils can help gently cleanse, reduce excess oil, and keep the scalp clear. This is an important factor because when the hair roots are stuck, the hair growth process is easily slowed down.
Users can apply chamomile in many ways: boil hair conditioner, use thick chamomile tea as a spray or use diluted chamomile oil to massage the scalp. These methods have been widely applied in natural hair care in many countries.
Experts also recommend that although chamomile is safe and benign, users should maintain it regularly for 4-6 weeks to notice notice noticeable changes. In addition, it is necessary to combine adequate nutrition, get enough sleep and reduce stress to support optimal hair growth.
