Juice of henna leaves – 200ml

Juice of karisalankanni leaves (false daisy or swamp daisy) – 200 ml

Juice of adukku chembaruthi ( hibiscus flower and buds) – 200 ml

Juice of kariveppilai (curry leaves) – 200 ml

coconut oil – 800 ml

How to prepare

Add all the juices to 800 ml of coconut oil and heat the combination.

Consumption of 1 teaspoon of narasimha rasayanam twice a day also helps.

Natural substances like shikakai (soap nut) powder too should be used in moderation to prevent drying up of scalp and skin .

To help retain the oil, rice porridge water (conjee) can be added to make a consistent paste before application.

Neelibringadhi oil, triphaladhi oil, kayyunyathi oil are all excellent preparations for the scalp.

Apply a thin layer of any one of these oils after bathing.

Grind together equal quantities of henna leaves, linseed, athimathuram (Indian liquorice) and nellimulli (small caltrops) to make a fine paste.

Apply this paste on the scalp 10 to 15 minutes before a bath. Similarly karisalnkanni leaves, nellimulli and athimathuram can be used in the same manner.
