Before analyzing the properties of indigenous treatments, demos for granted following scientific principles:

1. Baldness (androgenetic alopecia) is caused by dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is a mixture of the hormone testosterone in the blood enzyme called 5 alpha reductase.
2. The enzyme 5 alpha reductase that converts testosterone into DHT is multiplied in sebum.
3. DHT hair thins, thus there is more fat than necessary. Having more fat, more enzyme, most DHT and less hair. With less hair, more fat. To break this circle is to control the amount of sebum on the scalp.
4. Something that exacerbates health of hair is the lack of blood circulation, as this is what carries nutrients and oxygen to the hair root.
