Bhringraj Benefits and Uses as Hair Oil

Bhringraj in this guide is a hair oil only. Warm the herb in coconut oil, strain it, rub a little on the scalp, and wash it out. It is not a drink and not a hair-growth treatment.

Bhringraj as external hair oil

Bhringraj leaves or the dried herb can scent coconut oil. Warm them together on a very low flame, strain through cloth, and let the oil cool until it is comfortable on skin. Once a week, a spoon on the scalp is enough, then a proper wash.

This is external hair oil only. Do not swallow the oil, do not drink a strong bhringraj tea as a dose, and do not expect the massage to regrow hair. Broken skin, a burning scalp, or an allergy means stop. The oil can mark pillow cloth, so use an old cotton cover.

Ingredients

A small handful of fresh bhringraj leaves, or a tablespoon of dried bhringraj
Half a cup of coconut oil
A clean muslin cloth for straining

How to prepare

Warm the coconut oil with bhringraj on a low flame until the leaves darken slightly, without letting the oil smoke.
Turn off the heat, cool a little, strain through muslin, and wait until the oil is only warm before it touches skin.

How to use

Once a week, massage a spoon of the cooled oil onto the scalp with fingertips.
Leave it for about an hour, then wash with your usual mild shampoo.
Keep the oil out of the eyes, and do not drink any of it.

Helpful habits

Test a drop on the inner arm the day before if your skin reacts easily.
Store the strained oil covered, and make a fresh batch if it smells stale.

Precautions

Bhringraj here is external hair oil only, not a large internal dose and not a tea to drink for hair.
It does not treat baldness, dandruff disease, or illness. Stop if the scalp stings or turns red.
Do not apply it on cuts, boils, or infected skin. Pregnant people should skip medicinal herb oils unless a doctor has agreed.
