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.
