Topical bromelain

.. bromelain in an oil solution sting my scalp when i first applied it, i almost panicked : ) .. buy it went away after a few minutes .. Anyone else using topical bromelain, and what are your experience with this topical use? I think it may be dsafer than papain unless you are sensitive to pineapple.

I applied some more after a little while in the thinning areas and it stung again for a coupel of minutes, argh! I amost panicked again .. Was their a consensus regarding how long time, keep it all night or wash it out before going to bed?

I was hoping to read the third entry by CPIO

"...I applied it again and it stung and I got worried..."

LOL - "Insanity is doing the same thing in the same way and expecting a different outcome”

It feels like supercharged Nioxin Scalp Renew during and after application for me.

I believe any negatives can be greatly minimized if your hair is thoroughly conditioned. I recommend virgin coconut oil for it's penetrating abilities but not everyone likes it.

I use bromelain mixed with aloe vera gel. I also find that it stings alot at first. I leave it on for half an hour. I am going to do that for a month or two and then slowly increase dose and duration- powerful stuff!

Based on these trails I am more convinced that hair is living tissue in that the enzyme does not seem to dissolve the hair at all.

I have mentioned in other posts that I use a hand held microscope. When I first started using it I was pleased to find my "bald spots" covered in tiny white hairs. After my first application of bromelain I checked the next day to find that all those white hairs were gone - I was pissed. I am pleased to report that those white hairs are replaced by much thicker black ones.

Is it the bromelain? Hard to tell. I take a "kitchen sink" approach and it could be the lasering , the topicals or the internal supplements.

Oh ,

Contrary to my expectations, when I check my scalp out with the microscope after the bromelain treatment I find that it has drastically reduced or eliminated my inflammation.


I use it before my laser treatment

thelibrarian, I left it all night and washed it out this morning, just like Prague.

My hair feels stronger. I hope it can take away some of the itching as well.
