Hi all! I stumbled across an interesting article in which a blend of cedarwood, lavendar, rosemary, and thyme essential oils (in carrier oils of jojoba and grapeseed oil) were used to treat alopecia areata. The essential oils had a statistically significant advantage over a placebo and the response rate was the same as what dermatologists would expect for standard treatments. The article has more details, as well as the ratio of essential oils:

So this got me thinking that maybe this would also work to boost growth? I think I'm going to mix up a batch of this and try it out, though I'll probably use just jojoba for the carrier oil. Anyway, I thought this might be of interest to others. Maybe some of the essential oil gurus have mixes of their own that have been successful that they would be willing to share? :)

Hi a12345 we have an LHC member here that sells a good hair growth oil. There is a lot of members who really like her products. Here is a link. HTH

P.S. It would be cheaper to buy it from her. That is if you don't have all the EO's and carrier oil.

thanks for the link, catladyintown! i saw that the web link i posted had actually been posted in the Essential Oils thread and that other threads related to the effectiveness of that particular blend are in the old archive - i just didn't realize that because i didn't read far enough into the posts. yep, total newbie here! lol.:)
