In ancient India, bathing rituals were elaborate and special emphasis was given to hair care. Apprentices would collect all the ingredients that an Ayurvedic physician used to prescribe, which included leaves of the Brahmi plant, Jatamansi (or spikenard), Amla, and many others.
All these herbs and roots were then soaked in Coconut oil for a day or two until the oil became green. The herb enriched oil was then blended over slow fire for a residual paste, which was then strained to be applied onto hair every night.Such herbal pastes were warmed and stored in copper vessels which imparted their own nutritional properties to the oil.
While such elaborate rituals may seem a cumbersome exercise in today’s world, the quest for healthy and natural, beautiful hair still remains the same, and Ayurvedic skincare products promise you the same.
What Is Bhringraj Oil?
One such herbal paste was made using Bhringraj oil, also known as ‘Food for Hair’. Named for its deeply nourishing properties, Indians have used Bhringraj oil for hair growth and lustrous tresses for centuries. The Forest Essentials Bhringraj Ayurvedic Hair Oil for hair growth uses a base of pure Coconut Oil, infused with Bhringraj extracts, also known as ‘food for the hair’. This concoction is boiled until very little and effective residue remains, which is then mixed with fresh Goat’s milk.

How To Use Bhringraj Oil For Hair Growth?
Make the most of the best Ayurvedic hair oil for hair growth by warming a small quantity of oil using the double boiler technique. Immerse the container of oil in a bowl, preferably made of Copper or Kansa metal, of hot water such that the oil gets heated indirectly. This method of heating ensures the ingredients of the Ayurvedic hair oil remain intact to then maintain the efficacy of the massage that is to follow. Apply the Ayurvedic hair oil onto the hair and massage starting from the scalp to ends of hair. Leave it on and wrap a hot towel over the head for thirty minutes. Wash with a Sulphate free hair cleanser and rinse till the water runs clear.
