    Hi Rya

    The herbal oil preparation what you have given is very good. But please let me know the recipe to prepare with the ingredients available in India as I am from Bangalore and we may get all the ingredients here.

    Bow

    Thanks in advance.

    Cheers
    Manjula

    hello mythilimurali and manjula,
    thanks for the replies..
    mythilimurali- First i was using this herbal oil preparation only, for my hair.I took all ingredients from india and prepared oil here.After i finished using it,i prepared the herbal oil with ingredients available only in USA..Due to busy schedule,i could not prepare oil at home..Iam missing it,..So,iam using ramthirth for alternate day use..it is very good..iam continuing it...but,before taking head bath,i will heat up the herbal home made oil preparation(i have only little bit remaining),and massage into scalp,once a week..if i find time,i will do head pack of methi and greengram paste..
    thanks
    Manjula- It will be very easy for you to get ingredients..note it.

    Fresh ponnanganni leaves - one bunch
    Fresh karisalanganni leaves- one bunch
    Fresh curry leaves - one bunch
    henna leaves(optional)- a handful(some ppl have a complaint of hairfall when using henna )
    grind the above leaves into a thick paste and prepare like vada shape in hand(3-4 vadas per litre of oil is enough),dry it in sun thoroughly. No moisture shd be there. it shd be totally dry..now these dried pieces are ready to fry in oil..

    big fresh gooseberries - 3 (cut gooseberries into pieces removing seeds)
    dry gooseberries in sun totally for one week in sun..no moisture shd be there..it shd be brown in colour
    vetiver - a handful like a bunch
    rose leaves(not the roses used for decoration,one that uses for rose water,panneer roja in tamil,which will be mild baby pink in colour) - about a palm ,measure dried thoroughly in sun
    fenugreek(methi) seeds - one tablespoon(we can use the seeds directly no soaking job)
    For one litre of oil
    heat oil thoroughly,not so hot but it shd be in medium heat like frying consistency
    first add the prepared and dried leaf vadas and deep fry them,so that the oil will turn green.do not remove the vadas
    then add dried gooseberry pieces into the hot oil,the size of the pieces will become thrice or bigger when it is fried..
    then add vetiver and deep fry it
    then add dried rose leaves in oil
    finally add fenugreek leaves and llet it all together mix in hot oil and do not remove them from oil.lower the heat ..stir slowly for 15-20 mins. till all the ingredients' essence goes deeply..don't leave the oil to overburn as the smell of oil will be bad
    turn off heat and let it sit for one day
    after it has been totally cooled,filter the oil and add jasmine oil for fragrance if u need..
    the oil is ready..i prepared this oil in USA by taking all ingredients from india..now..i don't have any of them at hand....atleast others can benefit out of it..this hair oil is very good for hair growth
    thanks

    Hi Rya,

    How are you doing. Thanks for sharing all the useful tips that you have. By the way, I just wanted to let you know that my hair is growing. Suddenly I could feel the increase in volume as well. But still slight hair fall is there, I think it takes some time for complete reduction of hair fall. But still Iam happy. Iam following your tips of plain hand scalp massage at night, tying up the hair, Still Dabur amla hair oil thrice a week (till I make the natural oil that you suggested or I get brahmi), weekly once methi & green gram paste. :thankyou2: for all these wonderful tips. It really works.

    Girls, try and let rya know the result.
