How to use Bhringraj oil for hair? Top Remedies for Hair Problems
Bhringraj is a common household term, often associated with haircare products and more particularly with hair oils. Growing up in India, almost every person in the subcontinent would be familiar with the concept of hair massage with Bhringraj oil. What makes the oil so popular?
Eclipta alba (L.) Hassk. also known as Bhringraj belongs to the family Asteraceae and is commonly known as Bhringraj in India and false daisy in English. It is considered as a wild plant of high ethno-medicinal significance. The Bhringraj plant is a small, slender, and erect annual herb with a height of about 3-4 feet. It has a cylindrical stem and bears small, white flowers with a yellow center. The leaves are narrow, elongated, and have a serrated edge. The plant has a bushy appearance and is often found growing in moist and damp areas.
Bhringraj oil is made from the leaves of the Bhringraj plant. The sun-dried leaves are soaked in carrier oil, such as coconut or sesame, and left in the sun for two to three days. The resulting oil has a light green color and a distinct strong fragrance.
Bhringraj oil is packed with terpenes, phenols, flavonoids, and other antioxidants that lend anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties to the oil. There are several researches to establish credible benefits of the oil for topical application.
