[Ocimum tenuiflorum or Ocimum sanctum]
Tulsi
Here I am talking about some herbal treatments using tulsi. Tulsi is used for several minor ailments cure. Tulsi is also used for auspicious purposes also. So it is cultivated in the front garden of many houses. So it is readily available to use.

Hibiscus Shampoo

No need to spent money for shampoo

Believe me, there is no need to spent for a shampoo. Do you have a hibiscus plant in your courtyard? Then you can save money. Just like every others I also tried so many brands of shampoos. Nothing seems suitable for my hair type. Some shampoos makes my hair too dry. The conditioner makes my hair too stiff. Conditioner gives a thick sticky and stiff coating over the hair which I don't like. Herbal shampoo also I am not satisfied with.

Because of all these matters I finally decided to keep away from shampoos and conditioners. If I want to wash my hair I use shampoo just like a soap liquid. Then I deeply put oil and get moisturized. But still my hair look not very healthy. Just like every others because of busy schedule I did not bother about this.

Few weeks back one of my client called and asked for any shampoo that she can use. She won't use any shampoo and prefer some natural homemade shampoo. I prescribed to use hibiscus leaves as shampoo. Let me tell you the next day morning she called me again to say thanks. She used the hibiscus shampoo and the result was amazing.

How to prepare hibiscus shampoo
So I thought this time let me start using hibiscus shampoo. I prepared just a simple shampoo with hibiscus leaves. I took 10 leaves of hibiscus and one hibiscus flower. Then I made a loose paste by adding a little water. You know it will be a green sticky liquid.

How to use hibiscus shampoo
Apply a little oil before bathing is fine. After wetting hair apply hibiscus shampoo. If you have dry hair certainly apply some oil. Otherwise it may make it more dry latter. Do smart rubbing on scalp and hair with this shampoo. Do this for five min. Then rinse
hair normally. Here you can see and feel the difference. I really felt ashamed for running after store bought shampoos. Use this hibiscus shampoo at least once in a week.

Herbal Products with Hibiscus

Hibiscus leaves and flowers can be used for hair care and skin care. It is already told how to make Homemade Hibiscus shampoo. The components of hibiscus help to increase the moisture content of the outer layer of hair strands. Because of this quality of hibiscus in shampoo hibiscus is used.

Herbal Prducts with Shikakai

Shikakai means "fruit for hair" and is used as a traditional shampoo in India.








It is made from Acacia concinna, a shrub native to the warm, plains of central and south India. Acacia concinna has been used as hair treatment in India for centuries, it is now grown commercially in India and Far East Asia. The plant parts used are the dry powdered or the extract of the bark, leaves or pods.

Now there a lot of herbal products with shikakai commercially made like shampoo, conditioner, hair rinse etc. As for as the quality concerned it differs with brands. I am introducing some items for you to check and do a study on that. I am not recommending any particular product.

Herbal Products with Amla

Amla or Indian gooseberry (Phyllanthus emblica, syn. Emblica officinalis) is a deciduous tree of the Euphorbiaceae family. It is known for its edible fruit of the same name. It is used in Ayurvedic medicines. Locally the crush of this fruit is used in hair treatment in India. Whatever hair treatment we make out of this Gooseberry is very effective in controlling hairloss and helping hair growth.

So many herbal products with amla are available in stores. The powder of amla is available and we can make hair pack using amla powder. Or simply make a paste of amla powder and apply on hair. Amla hair oil is produced out of amla. It can control dandruff formation and hair loss if used consistently. The fruit of amla if eaten raw is found good for acidity. Also drinking fresh amla juice is good treatment for acidity. If we drink a glass of water mixed with two spoons of amla powder is a good constipation remedy. So this process is believed to cleanse our internal parts of intestine. Because of this quality, a herbal product with amla is available as internal cleanser. Another herbal product with amla is shampoo. If produced with enough amount of amla and other ingredients it should work well as a herbal shampoo. Dried fruit of amla also available to buy. Herbal product with amla in tablet and capsule form I saw once. May be it is produced for those who hesitate to use amla in original form. It can be taken for acidity etc. I don't know how far it is effective. Below I am showing some examples of herbal products with amla for you to evaluate.
