Healthy hair, the kind that looks great, and looks great every single day is truly a dream come true for most of us. But many may be unaware that the simplest things at the core of hair care can make a world of difference!
Bhringraj is a herb known to work wonders for hair health. In Assamese, it is known as Kehraj while in Tamil Bhringraj is known as Karisalankanni.
Bhringraj leaves are found in moist areas and this herb is known in Ayurveda to be an effective liver cleanser, as well as a great hair tonic!
The sages of old have also mentioned Bhringraj as a rasayana, or an ingredient that slows down the aging process!
But especially for hair health, Bhringraj can do wonders. Let us find out some of the ways in which Bhringraj can easily transform your hair!
1. Dandruff and Dry Scalp
A high specific gravity makes Bhringraj dense, making it easier for the herb to reach the hair roots. That’s why it works as an excellent tonic for dry scalp.
As Bhringraj is used for hair, it helps to activate the sebaceous glands which helps in hair growth, strengthens the hair from the roots and makes the hair thicker, bouncier, softer and healthier Is.
2. Baldness
Studies show that if bhringraj is used regularly, it can work effectively to treat baldness. One of the key mechanisms by which Bhringraj facilitates this is by improving blood circulation to the follicles, bringing more nutrition to support hair growth.
3. Hair loss
To reduce stress and reduce hair fall related to stress, Bhringraj acts as an elixir. And this is mainly due to the cooling effect of Bhringraj on the scalp.
Since Bhringraj nourishes the hair follicles, it works as a natural remedy to prevent hair fall. The herb is rich in minerals that make up for the deficiencies that often lead to hair loss. Hence it works effectively to promote hair growth.
4. Hair Growth
There is a very unique mechanism by which Bhringraj oil helps in hair growth!
As soon as one consumes Bhringraj, it increases vasodilation, which is the widening of the blood vessels. This in turn increases the blood flow to the hair roots, which leads to the growth of new and healthy hair.
Experts recommend massaging bhringraj oil onto the scalp in circular motions for 10 minutes and leaving it on for at least an hour to promote hair growth.
5. Prevents Graying
With Bhringraj, you can maintain your natural hair colour! Another interesting fact about Bhringraj is that the dye obtained from Bhringraj is used as a natural hair colour.
6. Makes hair shiny
Use Bhringraj for better hair quality and to get rid of the problem of split ends. Coconut oil, amla and bhringraj work as some of the best hair conditioners.
