Bhringaraj for healthy hair
Everyone wants healthy, lustrous, thick hair! As we age we may notice our hair becoming thinner, and duller in color and we may start to see graying. Ayurveda has solutions to this all-too-common process of ageing. After all, Ayurveda’s pharmacopoeia of rasayanas, or anti-ageing herbs, is abundant and vast. Slowing the ageing process and maintaining vitality and longevity is at the cornerstone of Ayurvedic philosophy and is one of the eight branches of Ayurvedic medicine- Geriatrics and Rejuvenation.
Bhringaraj is a famous Ayurvedic herb renowned as one of the most beneficial herbs for healthy hair growth in the Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia.
Bhringaraj, also known as Eclipta alba, is a powerful Ayurvedic herb widely used for hair care. It is highly regarded for its rejuvenating properties that promote hair growth and scalp health. Bhringaraj Oil, is made by infusing the herb in a base oil like coconut or sesame oil to nourish the hair follicles, prevent hair loss, and maintain healthy hair.
Regular scalp massages with Bhringaraj oil can improve blood circulation to the hair follicles, strengthen the roots, and prevent premature graying. Its natural cooling properties also help soothe the scalp and reduce inflammation, addressing issues like dandruff, and itchiness. Bhringaraj can be used on is own in powdered form taken as a tea, or it can be combined with other herbs for a more enhanced effect.
