Dear lybrate-user! DHT means Dihydrotestosterone. It is one of the reason for male pattern baldness (MPB). DHT shrinks hair follicles, and that when DHT is suppressed, hair follicles continue to thrive. Hair follicles that are sensitive to DHT must be exposed to the hormone for a prolonged period of time in order for the affected follicle to complete the miniaturization process. With proper Homoeopathic medicinal intervention this process can be slowed or even stopped.
