Hair loss

Hair plays an important role in the head area. Due to extreme heat in the head area or other causes can contribute to hair loss or hair dropping which leads to baldness. Our forefathers took this problem very seriously as hair gives beauty to a person's face.

A
1 handful of Henna leaves (Maruthani)
1 handful of fresh or dried Wedelia leaves (Karsilangkani)
1 handfull of Joyweed leaves (Ponnanganni )

B
20 grams White Turmeric (Poolan Kilangu) -grind into powder form
20 grams fenugreek seed
20 grams cumin - Dry fry the cumin seeds and grind into powder form.

C
1 liter coconut oil.

Pour the coconut oil into a metal saucepan and add ingredient A and B. Boil the mixture until it becomes thick. To check whether the oil has reached the right consistency, take a small piece of dhoti and tie the ends to a short stick.

Wet the cloth with the oil and lit the cloth up. If the oil is cooked to the right consistency, the cloth should flame up and burn very fast.

If there is water in the oil, the cloth will break up and produces noise while burning. When this happen, cook the oil further until the water has evaporated. Once the oil has reached its consistency, remove from the flame and set aside to cool.

Apply the oil regularly on your head and hair loss problem will be solved.
