Bhringaraj-powder-hair-growth-shinny-hair

From an Ayurvedic perspective, this herb has a bitter, pungent, and sweet rasa (taste), a cooling virya (action), and a pungent vipaka (post-digestive effect). It is considered one of the best overall rejuvenatives for pitta dosha .

Combining the bitter and cooling properties of the herb with its action as a rejuvenative tonic, bhringaraj works wonders throughout the tissue layers and in different organs of the body.

For example, the bitter quality works to cleanse the liver by clearing excess pitta and increasing bile flow. This action in the liver extends to support the tissues of  rasa  and  rakta dhatus , the lymph and blood, helping maintain calm, glowing skin and strong, healthy blood flow. ¹²

The ability to clear excess heat and agitation from the crown of the body also helps explain why bhringaraj is the ideal herb to support lustrous, healthy hair growth and robust color—according to Ayurveda , the more heat that lives in the head, the more prone we are to the loss of both color and moisture in the hair!

Bhringaraj simultaneously calms pitta and  vata  in the region of the head and fortifies  majja dhatu , the tissue of the nerves. ¹³ As a rejuvenative, bhringaraj restores and strengthens  asthi dhatu  (the bone tissue layer), which includes our teeth and nails.

Finally, because of its pungent vipaka, bhringaraj is excellent for the lungs, helping clear excess  kapha  accumulation and maintain healthy function of the respiratory tract. It can also be used to support the health of the reproductive organs. ¹⁴ 

How to Take Bhringaraj

Thanks to its versatility, bhringaraj is excellent for internal and external support. The powder can certainly be used for your own DIY hair and beauty recipes, and it can be taken as a tea (although the taste may make this option less than appealing to most!).

It can also be found in many of our products, making it easy and convenient for daily use. Here are a few ways you can use bhringaraj in your daily routine.
