View allI've been hearing a lot about apple cider vinegar and its health benefits, especially when mixed with honey and water. I'm curious if having two tablespoons of it diluted in a glass of water is actually good for someone like me who has skin issues. Also, are there any risks or restrictions I should be aware of?

I'm taking R89 but my hair is still falling out. What should I do now? I'm really worried about this. Can you help me?
You can try adding minoxidil solution to your hair care routine. You can apply minoxidil 5% solution twice daily on the scalp to promote hair growth and reduce hair fall. Additionally, make sure to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals essential for hair health, and avoid excessive heat styling or harsh chemical treatments on your hair.

I'm wondering if it's okay to use calak lotion on my skin, even though I don't have any issues with it right now. Is it fine to apply this lotion at night, and is it safe to use after putting on a herbal face pack? I'm just trying to make sure I take care of my skin properly.
Yes you can take it ,instead you can also apply good moisturizer
