Description
In Ayurveda, the health of the hair is directly connected to the balance of the doshas and nourishment of the scalp. Bhringraj (Eclipta alba), often called the “King of Herbs for Hair”, is traditionally used to calm Pitta (excess heat that can cause premature greying, dry, itchy scalp, and thinning hair) while supporting Vata balance (reducing dryness and brittleness).
Our authentic Bhringraj oil is carefully prepared following traditional Ayurvedic methods to retain its potency. It works deeply to moisturise the scalp, making it an effective treatment for dry scalp, while also revitalising dull, weak, or thinning hair.
Bhringraj oil is known for its cooling properties, helping calm excess heat in the scalp and restore natural balance. It is also valued for its stress-reducing qualities and is most commonly used in Indian head massage (Shiro Abhyanga) — a soothing Ayurvedic ritual that relaxes the mind while nourishing the scalp and hair.
Used regularly, it helps maintain healthy roots, lustrous strands, and natural colour.

- men and women noticing hair thinning, excessive hair fall, or weak roots
- those experiencing premature greying or scalp heat from excess Pitta
- people with a dry, itchy, or flaky scalp who want soothing nourishment

Is Bhringraj oil good for a dry scalp?
Yes. Bhringraj oil is one of the best Ayurvedic treatments for dry scalp. It nourishes and hydrates the scalp, relieves flakiness and itchiness, and restores natural balance by calming aggravated Vata dosha, which is often the cause of dryness.
Which dosha does Bhringraj oil balance?
Bhringraj is primarily known for pacifying Pitta (excess heat) and balancing Vata (dryness and roughness). By calming these doshas, it supports healthy roots, prevents scalp irritation, and protects against premature greying.
Can Bhringraj oil help with hair fall and thinning?
Yes. In Ayurveda, weak hair roots and thinning are associated with scalp imbalances and insufficient nourishment. Bhringraj oil strengthens the roots, rejuvenates follicles, and helps reduce hair fall when used regularly.
Does Bhringraj oil prevent premature greying?
Traditionally, Bhringraj oil has been used as a natural support for maintaining hair colour. Cooling excess Pitta in the scalp helps delay premature greying and keeps hair looking naturally healthy.
How often should I use Bhringraj oil?
For best results, massage the oil into your scalp 3 times per week or more, leaving it on for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for deeper nourishment. Consistency is key in Ayurveda, as balance is achieved through regular care.
