Ayurvedic Herbal Scalp Tea for scalp health and stimulation
This herbal hair tea is built for lazy DIYers (it takes less than 5 minutes to make), and it is packed with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antifungal properties. This hair tea is handmade, and I formulated it especially for people who suffer from scalp conditions, because you deserve a healthy scalp. I want you to feel confident and to enjoy your natural hair journey.
Ingredients: Neem leaves, chamomile flowers, fenugreek seeds, peppermint, sage and marshmallow root.
Quantity: 100 grams= 3.5 ounces
Benefits of the herbs used:
Neem: It has antifungal properties, which is great for scalp conditions such as dandruff, dry scalp, and scalp itching.
Chamomile flowers: It gives shine, eliminates and prevents dandruff, calms your scalp and hair, and promotes healthy natural hair.
Fenugreek seeds: It contains antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal properties due to its flavonoids and saponins compounds. These compounds help battle inflammation and fungal infections of the scalp. It is also great on fighting dry and itching scalp, and dandruff due to its moisturising properties.
Peppermint: It causes a cold and tingling sensation, as it starts to increase the blood flow to the scalp. This results in hair growth, as well as an increase in the amount and depth of hair follicles.
Sage: It is highly beneficial in treating scalp conditions such as dandruff, eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. It balances sebum production, relieves dry scalp itchiness, and prevents clogged hair follicles due to its astringent properties.
Marshmallow root: It has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, healing, moisturising, and soothing properties. This herb is great on fighting itching scalp, eczema, and psoriasis.
Directions: Add 50 grams of the mix in 2 cups of warm/hot water for at least 24 hours. Remove the mix from the liquid. Apply the liquid over your wet hair, and gently rinse out with cool water. Alternatively, you can leave it on your hair and apply your leave in conditioner afterwards.
You can also use the hair mix in your Ayurvedic and natural hair care recipes as a hair growth oil (add your favourite oil to the herbal mix), hair spritz, or as a liquid in your hair masks and pre poo treatments.
