This surprising food found to prevent hair loss
A recent study has found that wasabi chemicals can stimulate hair growth.
Japanese wasabi company Kinin found that the spicy plant can increase hair growth three times faster than modern remedies.
The researchers found that when the chemical in the plant, Isosaponarin, comes into contact with the human scalp, it activates the papilla cells to nourish hair follicles and creates pathways for them to receive the necessary nutrients for hair growth.
For the hair growth to work, the wasabi cannot just be eaten but the plant needs to be rubbed onto your head.
This isn’t ideal due to the smell and cost of real Japanese wasabi, however, there are alternatives such as wasabi shampoo that are available.
