Better Than Rogaine: A Natural Alternative to Hair Growth Medication
Thinning hair is an insecurity that many have, brought on by genetics, environmental stressors, or various health issues. This leads many to reach for conventional hair growth medications, like Rogaine, which come with a host of side effects, like boils, itchy eyes, and headaches.
Conventional medications may come with warning labels, but nature has given us a wide variety of herbs that boost hair growth and make existing follicles stronger.
In this post, we’ll explore why these natural remedies work, give you an exhaustive list of herbs to support hair growth, and give you a recipe that’s better than Rogaine.
This simple remedy combines powerful herbs like fenugreek, rosemary, and nettles with luscious oils that mimic your hair’s natural sebum. Whether you’re looking to boost hair growth or regain some of your youthful looks, this remedy has got you covered.
Plus, it comes together in less than an hour! Keep reading if you’re ready to ditch synthetic solutions and embrace all that nature has to offer.
Why Natural Hair Loss Remedies Work
Conventional hair loss treatments provide temporary results, but they don’t address the root (pun intended!) of the issue. Plus, these “solutions” can actually harm hair health, causing dry skin, dandruff, and even increased shedding if you discontinue use! Most hair loss stems from a combination of factors, like poor circulation to the scalp, hormonal imbalances, and nutritional deficiencies.
Herbs are a great solution because they support hair growth from the inside out. They can reduce inflammation in the scalp, giving your hair an optimal environment to thrive. Some herbs can even provide hormonal balance, giving you a better chance of keeping your luscious locks!
Using healthy carrier oils like argan, jojoba, and fractionated coconut oil on the scalp can promote hair growth by mimicking the scalp’s natural oils. This is particularly helpful if you have a dry, flaky scalp or dandruff.
When you consistently use natural remedies, you have a guaranteed recipe for beautiful hair without the chemical overload.
Now here’s the thing nobody tells you…
Hair loss isn’t just about circulation or hormones. Sometimes, it’s hiding in plain sight—on your plate, in your shampoo, even in your daily habits.
If your hair is thinning no matter what oils or herbs you use, it might be because of:
- Foods that spike inflammation and mess with your hormones (yes, even the “healthy” ones)
- Chemicals in your hair products that suffocate your follicles
- Daily stress patterns that flood your body with cortisol and tell your scalp: stop growing.
I didn’t know any of this until I came across The Holistic Guide to Wellness. Inside, you’ll find full protocols that cover hair loss from every angle—nutritional, hormonal, emotional, and environmental.
It’s not just another remedy. It’s a complete roadmap that shows you what to avoid, what to fix, and what to finally stop wasting your time on.

Herbs That Support Hair Growth
Nature’s botanicals can reduce hair loss, strengthen existing follicles, and even encourage new growth. When infused into oils and applied regularly, these herbs get a chance to sink deep into your hair, leaving it better than before.
Here’s a closer look at some of the amazing herbs featured in this Better Than Rogaine recipe.
Fenugreek seeds: These tiny seeds pack a big punch when it comes to hair health! Studies have shown that they can block DHT, a hormone linked to hair loss. Plus, their anti-inflammatory properties soothe inflamed skin.
Rosemary: Rosemary is a tried-and-true hair growth remedy. It works by boosting blood flow to the scalp, encouraging faster hair growth. It also has antioxidant compounds that protect against hair loss. In this recipe, we also include rosemary essential oil, giving you maximum herbal benefits.
Nettles: Nettles may seem like a common herb, but they’re gold to those experiencing hair loss. This mineral-rich plant contains valuable nutrients, including iron and silica, both of which are beneficial for hair health. It can also help prevent hair loss and serve as a holistic treatment for alopecia.
Ever wonder why your ancestors had that thick, flowing hair—long before conditioners and salon treatments?
They didn’t baby their scalps. They whipped them with fresh nettles.
Sounds brutal, I know. But there was a reason for it.
The sting would rush blood to the scalp, flooding the hair follicles with nutrients and oxygen. That’s what kickstarted the growth—and kept their hair strong well into old age.
Now, I’m not saying you should go out and slap yourself with weeds. I tried it once—and let’s just say it ended with a lot of scratching and no heroic results.
But you can get the same benefit in a much smarter way:
Just add a few drops of Stinging Nettle Tincture to your shampoo or dilute it in water and massage it in. You’ll boost circulation, strengthen your roots, and feed your scalp without the sting.
👉 Use it how your ancestors did—just smarter. Get the tincture here.
Lavender: This flower naturally soothes skin and reduces inflammation. It’s a great option for itchy or sunburned scalps. This herb also makes your Better Than Rogaine remedy smell amazing.
Peppermint: Mint’s natural menthol keeps your scalp feeling fresh. Like rosemary, it increases circulation to the scalp. Peppermint is also clarifying and can reduce buildup from toxic hair products.
I used to think throwing a few herbs in oil was enough. Just steep, strain, and voilà—hair growth magic. Right?
Wrong.
I ruined a whole batch with the wrong ratios. And don’t even ask what happened when I used the wrong type of rosemary oil—it left my scalp red and itchy for days.
Let me give it to you straight…
It’s easy to mess this up.
If you use the wrong type of rosemary oil, you could irritate your scalp.
If you get the ratios wrong, the serum might clog your pores instead of helping.
And if you’re just guessing which herbs go together… you could waste a whole batch of good ingredients for nothing.
That’s why if you’re serious about fixing your hair naturally, The Forgotten Home Apothecary needs to be in your hands. Inside, you’ll get:

How to Make a Better Than Rogaine Hair Remedy
This Better Than Rogaine serum will leave your hair feeling so soft, thanks to a few savvy oils. We added castor oil, which strengthens hair strands, jojoba oil, which is closest to your hair’s natural sebum, and argan oil, the ultimate carrier oil for hair.
These oils leave your hair shiny, but not greasy or weighed down. Now that you know how each herb and oil works, it’s time to bring them to life! This method uses the “quick boil” method, which works great, but you can also use our instructions for “slow infusing” if desired.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons castor oil
- 2 tablespoons jojoba oil
- 2 tablespoons sweet almond oil or argan oil
- 1 tablespoon fenugreek seeds
- 1 tablespoon rosemary leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried nettles (or add 5–10 drops of Stinging Nettle Tincture for an even more potent boost)
- 1 teaspoon lavender flowers
- 10 drops of rosemary essential oil
- 5 drops of peppermint essential oil
Step One: Add the castor oil, jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, fenugreek seeds, rosemary leaves, and nettles to a double boiler set over a small saucepan filled with 1-2 inches of water.
Step Two: Gently heat on low for 30-60 minutes, never allowing it to boil. At this point, your liquid will have changed color and should have taken on the scent of the herbs.
Step Three: Remove the liquid from heat, let it cool, then strain it into a jar using cheesecloth or a coffee filter.
Step Four: Transfer to a glass amber bottle with a dropper.
How to Use This Remedy
As with anything, consistency is key! If hair loss is a significant issue for you, use this remedy 2-3 times a week as a pre-shampoo treatment. To use, apply a small amount directly to your scalp and rub in with your fingertips for 1-2 minutes. Leave on for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight.
Remember to cover your hair with a shower cap or towel to keep pillowcases clean! Wash your hair twice with all-natural shampoo and follow up with all-natural conditioner. You can skip the conditioner if your hair is naturally oily.
Be sure to shake the bottle before using to distribute the properties, as some settling is normal. This remedy is safe for adults who have no sensitivities or allergies to the ingredients and children over the age of 3.
If you find you’re allergic to one of the carrier oils, you can always substitute it for another carrier oil, such as olive or fractionated coconut. If using this remedy on children, reduce the essential oils by half or omit entirely.
