These crops are used as soaps, paper, and toothpaste, including embalming fluid. Another interesting recipe for this oil crop is that it is used in cough mixtures and as a moistener in your daily use of tobacco.
I don't know if you read the leaflet from the purchase of a bottle of cough syrup, or cough mixture. It explains the ingredients used in the medication and the side effects. This is good to pay attention to the necessary information provided on medication.

Should you use Jamalgota for hair loss?
No.
The side effects are most painful.
I knew of someone who applied the crushed powder in paste form on their scalp. This thought for the regrowth of hair on that patch. Unfortunately, that experiment did not go well.
Blisters formed on the scalp and that was a painful and most irritable experience. The person was in agony. It took a long time to heal after medical treatment.
In another case, a teenager used the crushed seeds in the same way and applied it on his scalp to prevent hair loss.
He wished he never tried it!
The application of the paste caused hurting, stinging and spots formed. These spots grew into blisters.
