Have you ever heard about Bhringraj and its amazing benefits for hair health? If you’re curious about natural remedies for maintaining strong and lustrous hair, then in ayurveda there is an oil derived from the bhringraj plant (Eclipta prostrata), this oil has been used for centuries in ayurvedic medicine to promote hair health and address various hair-related concerns.
From nourishing the scalp to preventing hair fall, bhringraj oil offers a multitude of benefits that can help you achieve luscious, strong, and beautiful hair. Let’s know from our expert Dr Ganesh Chaudhary, Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS), PHC, Darbhanga, Bihar, what bhringraj does for our hair health.
Stimulates Hair Growth
A 2008 study on male albino rats found that bhringraj oil increased the number of hair follicles and was actually more effective in preventing hair loss than minoxidil (Rogaine). This study needs to be replicated in humans before it can be considered conclusive, but it does offer promise.
Bhringraj oil is renowned for its ability to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth. It contains active compounds that help increase blood circulation to the scalp, encouraging the growth of new hair strands.

Prevents Hair Fall
“Hair fall can be a distressing issue, but bhringraj oil comes to the rescue. Its rejuvenating properties nourish the hair follicles and strengthen the hair roots, reducing hair fall due to breakage. By providing essential nutrients to the hair, it helps prevent premature hair loss”, said Dr Chaudhary.
Delays Premature Greying
Premature greying of hair is a common concern. Bhringraj oil is believed to have pigmentation-stimulating properties that help restore the natural colour of the hair and delay the onset of premature greying. Regular massage with the oil can help maintain your hair’s youthful hue.
Conditions and Softens Hair
Bhringraj oil is rich in fatty acids that provide deep conditioning to your hair strands. It helps nourish and moisturise the hair, leaving it soft, smooth, and manageable. The oil also helps reduce frizz and enhances the overall texture of your hair.
Fights Dandruff and Scalp Issues
The antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties of bhringraj oil make it an effective solution for scalp issues like dandruff and itching. Massaging the oil onto the scalp can help soothe irritation, eliminate dandruff, and maintain a healthy scalp environment.
Improves Hair Luster and Shine
Dull and lifeless hair can benefit from the natural shine-enhancing properties of bhringraj oil. Regular usage can help restore your hair’s natural lustre, making it appear healthier and more vibrant.
Cools and Relaxes the Scalp
“Bhringraj oil has a cooling effect on the scalp, making it an excellent choice for hot weather or when your scalp feels heated. Massaging the oil onto the scalp can help relax the mind and soothe the senses”, Dr Chaudhary added.
