Herbal Hair Benefits With Brahmi Recipes

Herbal hair benefits -Brahmi Powder

Brahmi (scientific name: Bacopa monniera) has been long used as a hair tonic to provide nourishment and vitality for radiant hair color. It improves hair care by nourishing the hair roots and scalp, it is known to reduce hair fall and premature baldness, clears dandruff from scalp, thus promoting healthy, thick and lustrous hair with virtually no side effects.

Below the history of the Bacopa monniera plant is reviewed, as well as its use in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. However, our focus is on benefits of the brahmi plant for hair. Therefore, I’m sharing a few brahmi powder recipes for hair to follow.

Brahmi (Bacopa monniera) Botany

Bacopa monniera is a perennial creeping herb that grows 1-2 feet tall that grows in wetlands, muddy shores and other marshy areas. As seen in the image, the leaves are succulent and thick. The plant contains small, white flowers with four or five petals. It can be found in the marsh in India and neighboring countries.

Medicinal Purposes of Brahmi:

Bacopa monniera (BM), a traditional Ayurvedic medicine, used for centuries as a memory enhancing, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic, sedative and antiepileptic agent. The plant, plant extract and isolated bacosides (the major active principles) have been extensively investigated in several laboratories for their neuropharmacological effects and a number of reports are available confirming their nootropic action. In addition, researchers have evaluated the anti-inflammatory, cardiotonic and other pharmacological effects of BM preparations/extracts. Therefore, in view of the important activities performed by this plant, investigation must be continued in the recently observed actions described in this paper. Moreover, other clinical studies have to be encouraged, also to evidence any side effects and possible interactions between this herbal medicine and synthetic drugs.¹

Brahmi Powder Recipes for Hair

Brahmi Hair Mask

To simply mix with plain or rose water, you can use the directions located on the package of Saba’s Brahmi Powder or try this suggestion.

You’ll need:

Brahmi powder

Amla powder

Virgin coconut oil

Coconut water

• Mix desired amount of brahmi powder* with amla powder. Add to ⅛ to ¼ cup of melted coconut oil. Add enough coconut water to make a workable paste and mix well. (The paste’s consistency should be that of pudding or yogurt).

• Apply to dry or damp hair in sections, from root to tip; cover hair with shower cap or plastic wrap.
• Leave paste on hair for 30-90 minutes.
• Gently rinse thoroughly out of hair with warm water.
• If desired, follow up with Lustrous Henna Shampoo Powder to make sure all powder has been removed from hair. Note: other shampoos might interfere with the effectiveness of this mask.

 Brahmi Overnight Herbal Hair Infusion (Rinse)

An herbal hair infusion is basically a natural hair rinse created to stimulate the scalp; condition hair; restore health to damaged hair, or simply to add shine and bring out natural highlights. For this infusion, you’ll need:

Brahmi powder

Amla powder

Tulsi Powder

Neem Powder

Jar, with tight fitting lid

Protective gloves for hands

• Before bed, in a (wide-mouthed mason jar or similar): Mix desired amount of brahmi powder with amla powder and other powders.
• Boil water.
• Pour boiled water over the powder mixture.  Fill jar and then tighten lid.
• Allow the herbal powder mixture to steep/sit for 8-12 hours to create an infusion with the water. Easy way: let this sit overnight.

• In the morning, using a fine cheesecloth/strainer: strain the powder out. (If desired, you can add a drop or two of an essential oil for natural fragrance). The remaining liquid is used as an herbal hair rinse –after- shampooing your hair. I suggest using Lustrous Henna Shampoo Powder, then follow up with this herbal hair rinse.
• When ready to use: Pour herbal hair rinse through hair several times as you catch the liquid in a large bowl. When satisfied, rinse hair with warm water.

Note: The mixing times are only a suggestion. You can mix this hair rinse in the morning and use in the evening too.

*Brahmi powder can also be used in combination with other herbs (amla powder, bhringrai, neem, cassia, henna, tulsi and more. Remember to protect hands from potential staining by wearing protective gloves.

Henna and More -Natural Ingredients of Lustrous Henna

Natural Ingredients of Lustrous Henna REALLY Benefit Your Hair

“Is Lustrous Henna® natural hair color dye really made with all natural ingredients?”

Lustrous Henna® is made completely from nature. However, this a valid question because we all should be concerned with the ingredients found in so-called “all natural” hair color dye mixes, since many do contain some chemicals that can be potentially harmful. Lustrous Henna® does not contain any chemicals. The various natural hair color mixes include:

Indigo Powder.  

The botanical name for Indigo is Indigofera Tinctoria. Other synonyms are true indigo, pigmentum indicum, neel and neelii. The indigo plant is actually a leafy shrub that grows 3-6 feet tall with magenta-colored flowers.

Indigo has been used since ancient times as a natural dye. It was used by men and women to dye textiles and hair. The dye is made from processing the plant’s leaves by soaking them in water and allowing them to ferment. This converts the natural glycoside indicant into the dye, indigotin. It can then be pressed into cakes, dried and powdered. As a hair dye, it is used along with henna to create shades of color. It also makes hair soft and silky to the touch.

Catechu powder.

The botanical name is Acacia Catechu. It is commonly known as mimosa catechu, cutch, katha or khar This thorny tree grows up to 50 feet tall in the vicinity of Asia, China,  India and the Indian Ocean. The heartwood extract is a natural hair coloring dye and is also used to dye textiles. The bark is a natural breath freshener called, "Katha".

Bacopa monnieri

Bacopa monnieri is a thyme-leafed water hyssop that is also called Brahmi, Halneem or Bacopa. Bacopa monnieri is a perennial creeping herb that grows 1-2 feet tall that grows in wetlands, muddy shores and other marshy areas. As seen in the image, the leaves of bacopa monnieri are succulent and thick. The plant contains small, white flowers with four or five petals. Bacopa monnieri can be found in the marsh in India and neighboring countries. It is also found in the USA in Florida and other southern states. 

Acacia concinna

Acacia concinna is also known as Shikakai or Satla has been used in the Indian Subcontinent since ancient times for hair care. It’s known as, “fruit for hair” and is used as a mild cleansing shampoo in India. It doesn’t strip hair of natural oils and it also acts as a detangler.

Eclipta Alba (Eclipta prostata)

The common name is False Daisy, yerba de tago, Bhagra, Beemraj and Bhringraj. Found on the foot hills of Northern India as well as moist places around the globe. It is a weed known for its benefits in ayurvedic medicine.

The leaf extract is considered quite beneficial for the hair and has been traditionally used externally on the hair (and scalp) to stop hair loss, promote hair growth, stop graying of hair and improve natural hair color. It’s used as a hair tonic and hair conditioning agent.

Rubia cordifolia

Rubia cordifolia was extensively cultivated for centuries form antiquity until the mid nineteenth century. It was an important source of a red pigment found in its roots throughout Asia, Europe and Africa. It is still being cultivated today in the foot hills of the Himalayas in Nepal, India and Bhutan -though not as extensively as in earlier times due to the introduction of synthetic chemical dyes.

It is also known as: Madder, Manjith, Manjistha, Tamaralli and Manditti. It is a flowering plant in the coffee family. It is a shrub that climbs with tiny hooks in the leaves and stems. It has small pale yellow flowers. The roots grow to over three feet long. It is used for dying and coloring hair and textiles and it also has anti-fungal properties.

Emblica officinalis

More commonly known as Indian gooseberry, its synonyms are: Awla, Amla, Amalake, Aamla, Aavalaa, Amlaki, and numerous others. It is a fruit-producing tree of 12-18 feet high that grows in central and northern India.

The entire tree has a variety of traditional medicinal and Ayurvedic uses. Amla oil and shampoo contain multiple benefits for the hair: nourishing scalp, stimulating hair growth and preventing premature gray hair.

Best Henna Hair Dye for Pregnant Moms

Henna hair dye is all natural and safe during fetal development, especially during pregnancy in the first trimester, is the best hair dye. Henna hair dye is the natural choice, but traditional henna hair dye application method can be too lengthy and cumbersome for many pregnant women.

Chemical Hair Dye is Not the Best Hair Dye for Pregnant Women

It is strongly recommended by most obstetricians, gynecologists and other health care professionals, that pregnant women NOT use permanent hair dye during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Your baby is undergoing very important neurological fetal development during your first three months of pregnancy. Low levels of permanent chemical dye are absorbed into the scalp and passed through the body and have been identified in urine samples.

Hair Dye -Avoid Toxic Metallic Salts!

Question: If Metallic Salts are Dangerous to Use in Dying Textiles,

Why Use them in Hair Dye?

I’ve been called a “Mixed-Media Fiber Artist” for many years now, due to my love of transforming textiles in to art. I also enjoy naturally-dyed fabrics and other fibers, still desiring to do all my own dying…one day. So with an avid interest in this subject, I was naturally drawn to the parallel between the process of fixing natural dyes to textiles and the general process of dying human hair.

Generally, in dying natural textiles the objective in selecting a mordant (a substance that sets the dye) is to try and select the least toxic one! Metallic salts are commonly used as a mordant in textile dying and a tremendous amount of caution has to be exercised. Please view the following informative video regarding setting up and recording the mordant used in the natural textile dying process. As you listen, think of how much care is used and what the instructor actually states about metallic salts.

How to Stop Hair Fall and Add 6 Inches to Your Hair Length

Use Natural Ayurvedic Products Known to Promote Hair Growth 

Shikakai (Fruit for Hair), Acacia Concinna

Shikakai (Acacia Concinna) is a small shrub-like tree which is grown in dry plains of Indian-sub continent. For centuries the people who have had access to this tree have used its pod-like fruit to clean their hair. They collect, dry and grind this pod into a powder which is considered a superior cleanser for "lustrous long hair" and has been reported as "promoting hair growth and preventing dandruff". Because of these benefits this pod was named "Shikakai" which translated as, "fruit for hair". The grinded powder or an extract of this pod is used in many hair care preparations, such as hair oils, shampoo and conditioners.

Soapnut (Reetha Fruit), Spindus Mukorossi

Indian name Reetha fruit is also called soapnut, as it contains natural soap. Beside excellent cleansing properties, it is known to keep hair and skin soft. From the ancient days until now in some parts of the world people make liquid soap, by simply grinding and soaking the fruit overnight. The seed of the fruit contains precious oil. The extract is made by grinding the seed and the pulp to use in shampoo.

Amla (Amla Fruit), Phyllanthus Emblica

Amla is wonderful cleansing agent for both the skin and hair. It imparts luster to hair and protects from dandruff, also helps prevent premature graying. It stimulates growth of hair on the scalp, and strengthens the hair roots. Amla extract in the shampoo does not deposit any color on the hair and can be used by everyone alike. Amla extract helps replace the nourishment lost by hair gels, chemical hair color and hair spray. Another common use of this fruit is in medicines and tonics, since it is extremely rich in vitamin C.

Bhringraj, Eclipta Alba

Bhringraj herb is an Ayurvedic and Yunani medicine. The extract obtained from the plant is used for medicinal purposes, and also known to be very beneficial to the skin and hair, with great conditioning properties.

Fenugreek, Trigonella Foenum-Graecum

Years ago, people used to soak fenugreek seeds overnight, in the morning grind them into fine paste and apply them to the scalp for half hour for scalp treatment and removal of dandruff. The hair was then washed with Soapnut solution

Aloe Vera Gel

Multani Clay Powder Recipes for Hair

Damaged or Dull Hair Treatment: Moisten hair with warm water. Massage generous amount of natural oil into hair (refined sesame or apricot, shea nut oil, olive oil, etc.) Cover hair with plastic shower cap (or plastic wrap like “Saran” wrap) and a towel. Leave on for a minimum of one hour.

Next: apply a muddy paste of Multani Clay Powder (mixed w/water) to hair and scalp. Leave on for 30 minutes. Using warm water, completely rinse the mud from hair and scalp.

Shampoo with a mild shampoo (Imbue or So Natural shampoo from Saba Botanical). Apply a small amount of refined oil (except olive oil due to scent) to damp, towel dried hair and scalp. Comb through with a wide tooth comb. Let your hair dry naturally.  

 

Split End Treatment:

Massage hair and scalp with olive oil. After 2 hours, steam hair for 30 minutes (wrap a towel dipped in hot water around head, avoiding face). Wash hair using a mix of Multani Clay Powder and whole milk (use buttermilk for oily hair). Let dry naturally. The next day, shampoo hair with a mild shampoo (Imbue or So Natural shampoo from Saba Botanical).

Super Quick Dry Shampoo:

Divide hair into sections and fluff a little Multani Clay Powder through each section. Rub in well and leave on for 10 minutes. Brush out thoroughly with a clean brush. The Multani Clay Powder will absorb most of the oil and dirt from hair. (Can be done if it’s inconvenient to do traditional shampoo).

In our next post, we will share face and body recipes including an excellent recipe to clear away acne.

Testimonial about Lustrous Henna 100% Natural Hair Color Dye in 9 different natural shades.

After buying thousands, and I mean literally thousands of products for my extremely dry, dull, kinky, fine hair that did not work, I reluctantly tried your product because I saw a testimonial on your website from a patron who sounded like she had hair somewhat like mine. I have tried cellophane, which worked pretty good but the problem with that was it lasted no time at all.  It seemed to all come out in the first  washing... I have even purchased other Henna products and threw then in the trash without even trying then on my hair because the texture was like thick garbage and mud I when mixed. 

WOW!  What a difference.  I mean as soon I took it off there was rich color and shine and that was only after one application. My hair hasn't looked like this since I moved away from Chicago 20 years ago.  The water in LA is much harder and combined with the constant sun, my hair was just a dry brittle mess, really.  Other products just seem to sit on top of my hair, yours actually stained, coated and moisturized my hair. The texture of my hair feels different, it is stronger and has body. I can't imagine what it will be like after 3 or 4 applications if it looks like this after one. I certainly will continue to use your product to see. Oh, and it covered the gray wonderfully.  Of course the grey came out lighter that the rest of my darker hair but it just made it look as if I had spent a fortune to have highlights done.  I only wish you could have done a before and after picture of my hair,  you would sell millions.  If this can make my hair look like it belongs on a human beings head again rather that a scare crow, it will work on anyones hair.
