Yes I do this - about 2 squirts of full dropper per bottle - smells and feels good on the scalp then goes away.Hi. Has anyone tried adding Rosemary or Peppermint Oil in Minoxidil liquid? Is it okay and how many drops?
I use peppermint oil at about 40% of a mixture as follows:
42% peppermint
35% sandalore
10% minoxidil
5% velvet deer antler
2% apigenin
1% RU58841
1% lactobacillus
1% luteolin
1% cetrizine
1% cysteine
1% carnitine
I use this daily and micro-needle fortnightly. According to the below research, peppermint reduces inflammation and increases IGF-1:

When I apply this topical, my whole scalp cools down a lot. I remember seeing a post on gourmetstylewellness.com some time ago where one member theorized that loss of subcutaneous fat in the scalp was the real cause of hair loss (and it is true that men have less subcutaneous fat than women and scalp subcutaneous fat reduces with age). That guy suggested cooling the scalp to encourage subcutaneous fat to develop. I think this was the original thread:

I don't know whether I buy that theory but I do believe inflammation is an important factor in hair loss. I use peppermint oil and I put Voltarol gel in my receding hairline. I've seen an article about Voltarol gel making new hair grow on bald scalps. Here it is:

I've only been doing this for about a month but I could swear I've got a load of hairs growing in my receding hairline that weren't there before. I've started taking photos every week now so I can be sure they're new hairs and not just hairs I didn't notice before.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has used peppermint oil. I'll be continuing with it indefinitely.
I've heard rosemary is also beneficial (and I bought some), but haven't used it yet.
