Juice recipe to strengthen the scalp

Juice recipe to strengthen the scalp: the advice of Professor Akim Bouterra, complemented by what the research says (hair and hair loss, honey), the precautions to know, and our resources to go further.

The scalp needs certain minerals to stay healthy; these minerals are found especially in carrot and beet.

Sometimes certain bacteria prevent the scalp from staying healthy, so lemon can be added to the recipe.

In addition, fruits rich in vitamin C should be favored, especially kiwi and orange; orange will go very well in the juice with beet, carrot, and lemon.

Honey can be added to this blend for its content of vitamin B5 and boron, a mineral essential for preserving the scalp; especially when choosing an excellent-quality honey such as Manuka honey.

All of this can be consumed alongside dietary supplements and plants in order to avoid hair loss or other scalp problems.

What the science says: hair and hair loss, honey

What published research says about the remedies mentioned above, for the sake of context — these studies address material causes; healing belongs to Allah.

Hair and hair loss

Natural topical remedies for hair loss have been reviewed — rosemary oil, caffeine, and vegetable oils in scalp massage are among the most studied (Int J Trichology, 2025); a global review catalogs the plants used by menopausal women (Front Pharmacol, 2025). Iron, zinc, protein, and vitamin D levels should be checked in cases of significant hair loss. Precaution: sudden hair loss or loss in patches requires a medical workup (thyroid, iron, deficiencies); results from natural care take 3 to 6 months.

Honey

"In honey there is healing for people": research confirms several of its uses. The Cochrane review concludes that honey relieves acute cough in children better than no treatment, and at least as well as certain syrups (Cochrane, 2018) (Eur J Pediatr, 2023). On the skin, honey dressings speed up wound healing and reduce wound infections (Nutrients, 2024), including burns (N Z Med J, 2009). Precaution: never give honey before the age of one (risk of infant botulism); choose raw, unheated honey from a trusted source.
