Hello dear. Peppermint oil, onion oil, garlic oil, gunpowder, cow dung.. these will only give you a very bad irritant contact dermatitis and nothing else.
There is no "natural" way other than minoxidil, finasteride, and certain new molecules and procedures to grow your hair back.
Next Steps
Schedule an online consultation for a prescription

Peppermint oil could be irritating to the scalp.
Androgenetic alopecia is mostly hormonal.
Certain oral meds and certain applications are needed as treatment.
Depending on the extent of area involved treatments will differ.
Kindly consult online for detailed consult.
