My questions are
1. IS green tea helpful for ceasing hair loss ?

2. What quantity should be consumed for better results ?

3. How Does It help In fighting hairloss?
Ans-I googled and found out that
""Update: Green Tea May Prevent Hair Loss

Until now there had been no direct research about the effect of green tea on hair loss, but a recent study revealed some tasty results. In the study mice with identical hair loss were selected and then split into two groups: group A received green tea in their drinking water, group B received only regular drinking water. The results showed that green tea halted hair loss in *all* of the test group and even triggered new hair growth in some of the mice. Significantly, some of the mice who were not invited to the tea party showed continued hair loss.

We observed hair regrowth among 33% of the mice that received green tea extract and did not observe any spontaneous remission or hair regrowth among the controls. Eight percent of these controls of showed progressive hair loss during the period of our study, whereas none of the mice who received polyphenoline extract showed any progressive hair loss.

I am Going Bald,

It's an interesting study. But I highly doubt mice experience DHT related male pattern baldness.

Mice are built very different from men. In order to suggest Green Tea may help men and women fight various hair loss conditions, clinical studies need to be performed on human subjects.

Therefore, until such evidence can be produced, I'd stick with what's proven.

Though I have heard (not researched) that Green Tea is good for the immune system. It also tastes good. But to date, I've seen no evidence to suggest it helps men and women treat baldness.

Remember, true beauty radiates from within, not from the skin.

I am not a medical professional and my words should not be taken as medical advice. All opinions and views shared are my own.

Green tea is the bane of my existance as a surgeon. It dramatically thins the blood and is a nightmare. I make everyone stop it 10 days prior to surgery.

This is something I had not been warned about prior to surgery.
