Peppermint oil (PEO) has been shown to promote hair growth in mice without causing any toxic effects. It was found to be more effective than minoxidil, a common hair loss treatment, in promoting hair growth and increasing hair follicle depth and number. PEO is extracted from the leaves of the peppermint plant, which is native to Europe and has been widely used as a carminative and gastric stimulant worldwide.
