Hair Care Update: Mix these 3 things in mustard oil, the problem of baldness will go away; Know the effective recipe of Ayurveda

Why only mustard oil? Science and logic of Ayurveda

Mustard oil contains large amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E and beta-carotene. This oil accelerates blood circulation in the scalp. When ingredients with anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties are added to it, it helps in reactivating dormant hair follicles.

Recipe: Combination of these 3 things is ‘Hair Growth Booster’

To prevent baldness and patchy hair loss, a special mixture can be prepared by mixing the following things in mustard oil:

• Fenugreek Seeds: It contains nicotinic acid and protein, which is helpful in hair regeneration.


• Black Seeds: Linoleic acid is found in black seeds, which prevents hair from turning gray and strengthens the roots.


• Garlic Cloves: Garlic eliminates scalp infections, clearing the way for new hair growth.

Method of preparation and correct method of use

Heat 200ml pure mustard oil in an iron pan. Add one spoon fenugreek seeds, one spoon nigella seeds and 5-6 garlic cloves in it. When the mixture starts turning black, turn off the flame. When the oil cools down, filter it and fill it in a glass bottle. Massage the affected area gently for 10 minutes three times a week before sleeping at night.
