Homemade Bhringraj Oil: Bhringraj is called “Keshraj” in Ayurveda, i.e. king of hair. Bhringraj has been used since ancient times to cure hair problems like fall, dandruff, weakening of hair and premature graying. The oils available in the market often contain chemicals, whereas home made Bhringraj oil is completely natural and safe.

Ingredients for making Homemade Bhringraj Oil

Method of making Bhringraj oil

If you are using fresh Bhringraj leaves, first wash them thoroughly, dry them and then grind them coarsely. Now add coconut or sesame oil in the pan and heat it on low flame. Add ground Bhringraj to it and cook slowly. When the color of the oil starts turning dark green or black and the Bhringraj is completely cooked, then turn off the gas. When it cools down, filter the oil and fill it in a glass bottle.
If using powder, follow the same procedure, just add the powder to oil and cook well on low flame.
