Yes, you read that right. God's pharmacy was established long before Minoxidil was discovered. He provided Malunggay (Moringa oleifera) not just for Tinola (a chicken soup dish) but for a multitude of uses, including medicinal purposes. If your dad, husband or relatives are doomed to suffer from male pattern hair loss, tell them to start planting Malunggay and do this at home to save on soaring prices for hair regrowth procedures. If you are a woman and notice that your hair is thinning, you can likewise employ this method to stimulate hair growth.
Materials:
Malunggay leaves
Water
Blender or mortar and pestle
Sifter
Procedure:
1. You can either:
- use a blender to grind the malunggay- put about a half a cup of malunggay leaves and mix with water then extract the juice using a sifter, or
- use mortar and pestle , pound the leaves to your heart's content, add a minimal amount water and extract the juice using a sifter
2. Massage the the malunggay extract to the scalp, prioritizing areas that are showing signs of baldness.
3. Leave it on the scalp for 15-30 minutes
4. Rinse scalp
5. Do it daily for 2 weeks
Seriously???! It worked? Got lots of Malunggay tree in our backyard...
ReplyDeleteyes, doc :) .. people who have used it testified that it does work, not only in preventing hair loss but in restoring hair growth. i was looking for literatures on this but i couldn't find a substantial one. i read somewhere that it has to do with the plant hormone zeatin which encourages growth. there are shampoo companies that have started using malunggay for hair growth :)
ReplyDeletehmmmm..i'll recommend this to my uncles who has male patterned baldness...
ReplyDeleteBtw, We're restarting blog rounds season two.We would be very happy if you too can join us on this blog carnival. Visit my blog for more info on this. I"ll be including you also in the email group of MD bloggers if you wish to...
thanks, doc. i'll go visit your blog regarding the details. haven't been updating my medical blog, i'll see if I can contribute something to the blog carnival. :)
ReplyDeletehi doc.. i just want to ask..how many months do you think it will work? what if i do it every day?what will happen?is it alright to do it everyday.? can i ask also about the side effects after hair rebonding..i got hair fall on it after months..and now my forehead is too obvious because of hair fall.. do you think it will regrow again..thank you so much.. God bless you always,,
ReplyDeletehi loresen,
ReplyDeletei'll point you to #5 of the procedure for the frequency and length of use. there are no guidelines stating the recommended frequency but this is what most users go by. hair rebonding can be very damaging, our bathroom got almost clogged up after i had my hair rebonded through home service before. :) you can try the malunggay to stimulate hair regrowth. i've heard testimonials saying it was not only effective for hair loss prevention but for restoration as well.
hi!I'm a teenage guy who suffers early signs of hairloss... i will try to use malunggay for home treatment...i hope it will work...
ReplyDeletehi doc! What's the procedure? Should I shampoo or conditioner first before applying the malunggay sa hair or after application ako mag shashampoo/conditioner or not use shampoo/conditioner at all? I'm suffering from haor fall kasi, It's been a month since I had my hair rebonded and I'm scared I might get bald if the hair fall doesn't stop, so I read this article and are about to do this. please help! :(
ReplyDelete@ily joanne: apply the malunggay before taking a bath.. make sure to use a mild shampoo when you wash your hair. :)
ReplyDeletehi doc..

doc do you have some home remedies to cure dandruff???i have a lot of dandruff and i think that causes my hair fall..please reply..thank you..
ReplyDeleteDoc, is it true according to a friend who had tried it that malunggay can also be used to blacken the hair?
ReplyDeletei'm not sure noel.. malunggay has a lot of wonders that are continuously discovered.. if it worked for your friend then it should be worth a try.
ReplyDeleteHi Doc. i was advised by a friend that malunggay juice can be very effective in hair growth. i want to try it and see if it'll work. i've tried minoxidil many times but still my hair is falling out.. am really worried... just want to ask if morning is the best time to apply/rub the malunggay juice or is it nighttime?? thanks. hope to hear from you soon......
ReplyDeletehi kyla.. no specific time to apply it.. it depends on how long you let it stay

ReplyDeletethanks at nakita ko ang site na ito.... nakaka experience kasi ako ng hairfall matagal na since august pa coz of hair bleaching... na stop siya nung mga march then i dye my hair again at ngayong july about two weeks now napansin ko na nag fall na naman ang buhok ko... ang nipis na nga sa nape ko. but i try doing the malunggay remedy for 2 days na... medyo komunti ung hairfall ko tyaka kahit paano nag thicken ung buhok ko... medyo ayaw ko muna kasing gumamit ng mga chemical hair regrowth product kasi baka matuluyan na itong buhok ko... pero nagkaka pimples din yung scalp ko... siguro baka may tutubo na ulit na buhok... try niyo din at least walang side effect kasi herbal siya...
ReplyDeleteglad to know that! :)
ReplyDeletewow its effective
ReplyDeletei've been using this malunggay concoction applied on my scalp for a week now.. I noticed babay hairs sprouting after a week though I still suffer from hairloss. Mine is a case of MPB i guess because of the signs like receeding hairline. But what's good is that the hairfall was significantly minimized. What I am doing is that I pound malunggay leaves with ginger and aloe vera. then i would add some drops of shure hair grower for biotin.. But majority of my topical solutions is malunggay extract.. Doc, would it be ok if I would leave it overnight and wash it in the morning when I take a bath? thanks doc!
ReplyDeletei think you can. malunggay is not like eggs that are a good culture medium for bacteria.
ReplyDeleteHi Doc, baket po natatangal ung buhok ko whiLe minamassage ko scalp ko with malunggay? :(
ReplyDeleteDoc is it okay to apply topical hair grower solution after rinsing the malunggay extract? i will try that malunggay extract for my hair regrowth.. thanks for this site..
ReplyDeletehi. my daughter was diagnosed with alopecia areata when she was 10-month old. she will be turning three this coming november, still no signs of regrowing hair. will this malunggay leaves help my daughter? thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteglad that i found this site. as i read this page, i noticed that it has been created since 2010 and BANG!, it's already 2011 now, and it has been 2 years since it was posted, but new products containing malungay extract for hairloss treatment had been out in the market just this year!(Nuvo hair, and Koi liniment(?)). i'd rather pound malungay leaves that spend "Pounds" and "Dollars" for these products.
ReplyDeleteher condition of alopecia areata may be more difficult to deal with since it has to do with the autoimmune system. but you can give it a try!
ReplyDeletedoc, im 26 yrs old.. Since my teenage years i already have this thin hair but now i have noticed that it's becoming thinner than before. i believed my hair fall now is the side effects of my depo vera injection,it's already 3months since i got my 1st injection and i wont submit myself for it anymore. im already applying malunggay leaves before i take a bath. i am just so worried about it. i am also applying ultimate hair grower tonic after i rinse my hair. doc, is there any antidote to reverse the side effects of depo vera? thank u so much doc.. i hope to hear an answer from you soon..
ReplyDeletedoc,i was also suffering from baldness...i was looking for malunggay shampoo here in bohol...is it available here?where can i buy that product here in bohol..i hop mka rply po kau...tnx
ReplyDeletesorry, i have no idea. this is a DIY recipe you can try instead.
ReplyDeleteyou can buy Malunggay Shampoo at any Ricky Reyes Salon branches. it comes with separate shampoo and conditioner that cost 250php each. they are also selling GUGU Shampoo that claims that it has also hair growth activator,,i just hope it helps you guys with my info..
ReplyDeleteHi doc, I just want to ask is there any natural preservative that I can put to the Malunggay (Moringa) Juice that extracted with the use of blender? I have planned to keep it for a longer time so that I can used it anytime I want. If there are no preservative to use how many days, weeks or months thus the juice extract can be used since it is raw if i keep it in a container for a longer period of time? if it is ok?...please reply from my query doc i need to know it...thanks!
ReplyDeletehi. i want to clarify that I did not do any scientific study regarding malunggay for hair loss prevention. I'm just sharing this tip for those who want natural remedies. I can't provide you with exact data to your questions as I don't know if there are studies performed to answer those questions. if you want, you can experiment and observe to find out.
ReplyDeletedoes the malunggay expires? when? :D
ReplyDeleteHI everyone! im suffer hair fall for almost a year and i try malunggay leaves, it works..
ReplyDeletefresh leave po ang ginamit q then everyday ako gumagamit, ang ginawa q po eh dinikdik to until madurog and then ung katas po nun na sinala q ng damit un po ang ginagamit q after aq maligo,10-15 mins po bagi banlawan. and until now no hair fall n po and medjo mahaba n rin po ung mga tumubo.. try nyo po un. thanks a lot.
pde rn poh b gmitin ung lauat hair treatment shampoo(Litsea glutinosa) pra sa pg rinse ng hair? wla po kc akong mhanap na malunggay shampoo.
ReplyDeletei tried this and effective! and i noticed that my hair is shinier and softer after using. though i don't follow the suggested length of usage because when i stopped, probably after 3-4days my hairfall would be back again. so start ulit ako... pero ok lang kasi it works naman... i will make this and store for 3-4 days in the refrigerator and hindi naman nasisira and could be used pa rin.

ReplyDeleteCan I use this every other day instead of everyday????
ReplyDeleteHi there, I started using malunggay. I have history of alopecia where patches of bald areas appear on my scalp, the dermatologist said it is uncommon to women, mine might be stress related. I have tried steroids, regrowing hair formulas etc. but these moringa leaves are very effective for me. These patches appear every now and then so what I did was I grinded the leaves, added some water and squeezed Out the juice. I didn't have the extra time to do the process every night so I grinded a bulk of the leaves then save the juice in a small, tight container and refrigerated it. I am letting it stay on my scalp overnight (not sure if this is more effective) then wash it in the morning.
ReplyDeleteHello tracy.. did the malunggay extract helped your problem of alopecia? Did it grow new hair on the patches? Hope to hear from you. Best regards.
