Abstract
The effects of methanol extracts of 80 herbs on hair growth were inves tigated, using normal C3H/He mice from which telogen hair on the back had been removed. Eighteen of the extracts apparently promoted hair re growth on the mice. As one of active principles in Polyporus umbellatu s F., 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde was isolated by column chromatography on Amberlite XAD-2, Sephadex LH-20 and silica gel.
