Androgenetic Alopecia

Question

Asked for Female, 29 Years

Hi, I am a female, 29 yrs old, and unmarried. I have been identified with Androgenetic alopecia, prescribed with Minoxidil 5% solution recently. Wanted to know if there is any natural remedy for it. Got to know from a lot many people that it has too many side effects and it does help in hair fall but not much in hair growth. Also, once you stop using it, you again experience hairfall. Can anyone please help me if there is any other solution for hair regrowth? I read somewhere that rosemary and peppermint essential oils are another substitute for minoxidil but not sure how much its true. Please guide!
