In today’s pollution and hectic lifestyle, hair fall and dandruff have become a common problem. Expensive shampoos and chemical products available in the market sometimes cause harm instead of benefits. In such a situation, Ayurveda’s treasure ‘Reetha’ can prove to be a great option. Reetha, which has been used for centuries for cleaning hair, is not only a natural cleanser, but it is also a panacea for many hair problems.

root out dandruff

Anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties are found in Reetha. If you are troubled by scalp itching and dandruff, then the use of Reetha is very effective. It deeply cleanses the scalp and eliminates germs that cause infection. Regular use keeps the scalp healthy, which prevents dandruff from returning.

Helpful in preventing hairfall

One of the main reasons for hair fall is unhealthy scalp and excessive use of chemicals. Reetha strengthens the hair roots. The natural elements present in it nourish the hair follicles, which reduces hair breakage. If a mixture of Amla and Shikakai is used along with Reetha, it becomes an excellent ‘hair tonic’ for hair.

correct way to use

Reetha is very easy to use. You can prepare it at home like shampoo:

  1. Reetha water: Soak some reetha seeds in water overnight. Boil this water in the morning and when it cools down, filter it and wash your hair.

  2. Reetha Powder: If you are in a hurry, make a paste by mixing reetha powder in water and apply it on the scalp and leave it for 15-20 minutes, then wash it with plain water.

  3. Conditioning: Reetha gives natural shine to the hair, due to which you do not need to apply separate conditioner.

Benefits of natural cleanser

Chemical shampoos contain ‘sulphate’ which creates lather but takes away the natural moisture of the hair. Reetha contains ‘Saponins’, which produce natural foam. It cleanses the dirt and excess oil while maintaining the natural oil of the hair. This makes the hair look soft, black and thick.
