Bhringraj
Ayurveda’s King of Herbs for Strong, Healthy Hair
Bhringraj, Eclipta alba/prostrata, a small flowering herb in the sunflower family, is one of the most celebrated botanicals in Ayurveda for hair and scalp wellness. Often called "False Daisy" because of its tiny white, daisy-like blossoms, bhringraj has been used for centuries as a remedy for hair loss, thinning, premature graying, and scalp irritation.
In traditional Ayurvedic practice, it is revered as the “king of herbs” for hair, recognized for its ability to deeply nourish the scalp and revitalize the hair from root to tip.
Known for its balancing, cooling, and strengthening qualities, bhringraj acts almost like a multivitamin for the scalp, delivering moisture, minerals, and phytonutrients that support stronger, shinier, and more resilient hair. It is considered suitable for all hair types, including fine, dry, or sensitive scalps.
