How to reverse grey hair, treat hair loss and get your confidence back!
Losing hair? Premature greying starting?Dandruff and itchy scalp bothering you? Rough, split ends? Whatever your hair woes, fret not there is a solution, and it doesnt involve expensive therapies and medical intervention.
A hair strand is nothing but keratinized protein. A healthy scalp has around 120,000150,000 strands of hair. And its normal to shed around 50100 strands each day. The growth phase of hair can range from 23 years, but a regular supply of protein is essential to maintain this rate. On occasion you may have noticed hair growth slowing down or coming to a halt, with no perceptible difference in hair length for weeks. What causes this? A diet deficient in Iron, Vitamin E and trace minerals such as Copper, Selenium, and Magnesium. Certain diseases such as typhoid and dengue, and health conditions such as frequent diarrhoea could further exacerbate hairfall. What your hair needs is a wholesome diet, with the right mix of protein, iron, and other nutrients, to improve its look, feel, and general well-being.
Ayurveda texts also mention certain medicinal oils that aid hair growth, and protect locks from dandruff, split ends, and premature greying. One such age-old tried and tested formulation is Mahabhringraj hair oil. Mantras Mahabhringraj Oil contains potent herbs such as Bhringraj, Manjistha, Padmaka, Lodhra, Chandan, Haldi, and Nagkesra, and is processed in Tila(Sesame) oil and Cows milk. The Bhringraj (Ecliptaprostrata) herb, when applied to the scalp, improves blood circulation in the hair roots, helps to stimulate hair growth, and checks hair loss. The alkaloid principle ecliptine is a circulatory tonic which improves tissue strength nourishing scalp and hairs.
Relaxing herbs such as Brahmi, Jatamansi, and Vetiver soothe the mind, reduce restlessness and anxiety, promote tranquility and improve quality of sleep. Extracts of Turmeric, Berberis and Lodhra helps to protect the scalp from fungal infection and reduce itching and flakes caused by dandruff. Amla is rich in gallic acid, tannins, and flavonoids. Calcium helps maintain youthful hair colour and retards premature greying and supports the strength of the hair follicles, so there is less thinning as you age.
As mentioned earlier, Mantras Mahabhringraj Oil is processed in cold-pressed Sesame oil, rich in linoleic, palmitic, oleic and stearic acid which makes it easy for your scalp to absorb the nutrients. This cold-pressed Sesame oil remains non-sticky, without any stale smell. Gently massage on scalp with finger tips for 1015 minutes, leave overnight and cleanse next morning. It locks in moisture in the scalp, smoothening hairs and making them more manageable.
This oil is a one-stop solution for all your hair problems whether its premature greying, hair fall, thinning, split ends, or dandruff. In a world where there seem to be more questions than answers, you should feel relieved to know that at least your hair has a lifelong friend in Mantra Mahabhringraj Oil.
