I came across a very interesting recipe for a scalp tonic to encourage new hair growth on Aromatics & More, a New Zealand-based company.

Scalp Tonic for Hair Growth

An exciting study conducted by Scottish researchers ( Archives of Dermatology (1998; 134:1349-1352) found that aromatherapy can indeed promote new hair growth and safely and effectively treat temporary hair loss due to alopecia areata. The study had half of their patients massage their scalp with essential oils each day while the other half massaged their scalps with “carrier” oils. After seven months of treatment, 44% of the patients using the essential oils showed significant improvement in hair growth. The group using carrier oils showed 15% improvement. This formula uses our proprietary synergistic blend of essential oils to that purpose.(Thyme, Cedarwood, Lavender, Rosemary and Peppermint). It is simple to make up and may be sprayed directly onto the scalp each morning. We have added Vitamin B5 for thickness and strength.
