Product Description :
Bhringraj, scientifically known as Eclipta prostrata, is a medicinal herb that holds a significant place in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. It is also referred to as "False Daisy" due to its daisy-like white flowers and "Karisalankanni" in some regions of India. Bhringraj is highly valued for its therapeutic properties and has been used for centuries to promote hair growth, enhance liver health, and support overall well-being. Bhringraj plants are small, herbaceous perennials that typically grow up to 1 to 2 feet in height. They have elongated leaves that are narrow and lance-shaped, with a vibrant green color. The leaves grow in pairs along the stem, creating a dense and bushy appearance. Bhringraj plants produce small, white flowers with yellow centers, which bloom during the warmer months. The medicinal properties of Bhringraj are primarily found in its leaves. These leaves are rich in beneficial compounds such as wedelolactone, ecliptine, triterpenoids, flavonoids, and alkaloids, which contribute to its healing properties. Bhringraj is known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, and antimicrobial effects. One of the most well-known uses of Bhringraj is for hair care. It is widely recognized for its ability to nourish the scalp, strengthen hair follicles, and promote hair growth. Bhringraj oil, derived from the leaves through an extraction process, is commonly used as a natural hair tonic. Regular application of Bhringraj oil helps to improve hair texture, reduce hair fall, prevent premature graying, and stimulate the growth of new hair. Apart from its hair care benefits, Bhringraj is also utilized for its liver-supporting properties. It is believed to help detoxify and rejuvenate the liver, promoting optimal liver function. Bhringraj has been used in Ayurvedic preparations to treat liver disorders, jaundice, and help protect the liver from damage caused by toxins or excessive alcohol consumption.

If you live in a region with freezing winters, consider growing Bhringraj as an indoor plant or provide protection, such as moving it to a sheltered location or covering it with a frost cloth during cold spells., Pruning: Prune your Bhringraj plant regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, yellowing, or diseased leaves or stems. Pruning also helps promote the development of new shoots., Repotting: If your Bhringraj plant outgrows its current pot, consider repotting it into a slightly larger container. Use a well-draining potting mix and ensure that the new pot has drainage holes. Repotting is best done in the spring or early summer., Harvesting: If you are growing Bhringraj for its leaves, you can begin harvesting them once the plant has reached a sufficient size. Snip off the leaves using clean scissors or pruning shears, starting from the outer portions of the plant. Allow the plant to continue growing and replenish its foliage before the next harvest., Pests and Diseases: Bhringraj plants are relatively resistant to pests and diseases. However, keep an eye out for common garden pests such as aphids or mealybugs. If you notice any infestations, use organic insecticidal soap or neem oil to control them.
