POSSIBLE ROLE OF TOPICAL MAGNESIUM SULFATE IN IMPROVING GROWTH AND STRENGTH OF SCALP HAIR

ABSTRACT

In nerve and muscle pain management we have previously documented significant improvements with the use of transdermal magnesium sulfate (1-5) and we are currently exploring its use in other conditions.

This manuscript will discuss possible usefulness of topical magnesium sulfate in the management of health related hair growth and hair strength.

It is typical to lose some dozens of scalp hairs every day as part of the hair’s usual growth cycle. For most people, the lost hairs grow back and overall, one maintains a full head of hair. However, illness, chemotherapy, hormonal changes, stress, aging and inherited conditions can negatively interfere with the hair growth cycle. More hairs fall out, and new strands do not necessarily always grow back.
