Abstract

The present invention concerns a hair grower without exerting undesirable side effects, which is topically applicable.

A hair growth stimulant containing natural herbs as the active ingredients and having a potent pharmacological effect.

Description

Specification " This invention relates to hair growth on mammalian type skin. "
Many diverse treatments have been previously proposed for the restoration of hair to areas of skin, in particular areas of the human scalp, which have suffered hair loss. One of the less ineffective and costly treatments which is available commercially comprises the physical transplantation of complete pieces of scalp including the whole roots of hairs with the surrounding dermis and epidermis from the scalp area in which hair loss has not occurred, to areas where hair loss has occurred in order to produce hair growth. A major limitation of this form of treatment is that each new hair follicle requires the transplantation of a complete existing hair follicle together with it's surrounding skin tissues. This procedure is extremely tedious and time-consuming for both the subject under treatment and for the operative very precise manipulation of large numbers of individual hair transplants.
Other types of hair stimulates that are topically applied are expensive to the subject and hair growth ceases if use is discontinued.
It is the object of the present invention to avoid or minimize one or more of the above disadvantages. I have found that the disadvantages of surgery can be completely eliminated by a liquid topical application. This invention is inexpensive and hair growth continues after hair replacement.
The hair tonic is easy to apply by young and old, because the bottle is a squeeze type made of soft plastic. The dose is very small two to three drops to a bald or thinning area.
This should be applied to the scalp at bedtime. The beauty of this product is even if you miss the specific area it still manages to work. The reason for this is because most people never seem to put it on the same area twice.
This product is all- natural and is hypoallergenic. Hair growth occurs within weeks of daily use.
The pH tested with litmus paper indicated a reading of 6.5, which is gentle to the skin.

Claims

Claims "The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows:"
List of natural ingredients: Witch Hazel, Rosemary, Olive Oil, Red Wine, Camphor, Alcohol, Alum, Water and Orange Oil.

1. Witch Hazel- this herb stimulates the capillaries connected to the papilla to carry fresh oxygen and nutrients to the hair and removes toxins from the follicle.

2. Rosemary- this herb is an astringent that removes excess oil and dead skin from the epidermis and keeps the hair follicles unblocked.

3. Olive Oil and Red Wine- they replace the fatty material that lubricates the follicle and skin.

4. Camphor- this is an antibacterial agent that can eliminate the microscopic organisms called demodex follicilorum that can infest the hair follicle and feed on the sebum that our body provides to protect the hair. This mite causes the follicle to deteriorate resulting in hair loss.

5. Alcohol and Alum- they form a protective barrier on the hair shaft to stop the flow of excessive oil that blocks the hair follicles.

6. Orange Oil- this cold pressed orange oil is a food product and is used for it 's sweet orange fragrance.

7. The exact formulation of these herbs, oils and water stimulate hair growth gently, inexpensively and without surgery by cleansing and nourishing the scalp and hair follicles. This product would be readily available sold over the counter and not by prescription which is the case right now.
