The results of one research study suggest that the essential oils of thyme, rosemary, lavender, and cedarwood mixed with an oil and applied on the areas of hair loss may stimulate hair growth. This double blind, placebo-controlled study enrolled 84 people who who massaged either these essential oils or a non-treatment oil into their scalps each night for seven months. Results showed that 44% of people in the treatment group had new hair growth compared to only 15% in the control group.

Hair Oil Recipe
• 3 drops of essential oil of thyme
• 3 drops of essential oil of lavender
• 3 drops of essential oil of rosemary
• 3 drops of essential oil of cedarwood
• 1/8 cup of grapeseed oil
• 1/8 cup of jojoba oil
Mix the ingredients together. Cover your pillow with an old towel. Apply several drops of the mixture to areas of hair loss each night, massaging gently into scalp for 3-5 minutes. Store the oil tightly covered. Do not take internally or near the eye area.

This might be something others might like to try. I have not tried it yet. I only have used rosemary and jojoba mixture. But, I am eager to try the thyme/thymus. I heard that it is very promising. :cool:
