Hair Growth Herb Stimulants

Introduction

Hair Oil

Herbs have been used for centuries to provide everything from pain relief to healing for a wide range of physical, mental and emotional conditions. Herbs can be used both externally and internally but should always be used with extreme care.

While herbs can be very beneficial in many situations, in some cases herbs can be poisonous dangerous or even deadly.

Herbalists have identified a range of herbs which are designed to offer assistance with hair growth by providing all natural stimulation.

List Of Herbal Hair Stimulants

Listed below are some herbs and herbal based recipes* which may provide growth stimulation for hair. I have personally tested each of the recipes and experienced personal success.

However, not everyone will experience the same results. When in doubt always discuss with your physician and proceed with caution.

Another noteworty piece of information is that the 100% organic based HairTopia Beautiful Hair Oil and Spray formulas which were custom developed for HairBoutique.com contain many of the herbal hair stimulants listed below.

1. Southernwood - Known officially as Artemisia abrotanum. Also called Old Man Lad's Love and Maid's Ruin.

It was used in The Middle Ages to treat many problems. Taken in wine as an antidote to poison. Boiled with barley meal it can be used as an external treatment to treat pimples.

When 1 ounce of Southernwood ashes is mixed with 2 cups of olive oil and 1/4 cup of rosemary oil and massaged into the scalp it is thought to stimulate normal hair growth from the roots.

Young European boys have used this combination of Southernwood ashes, rosemary herbs and olive oil to stimulate facial hair growth. This recipe is derived from a 17th century recipe.

2. Jaborandi - Officially referred to as Pilocarpus or microphyllus or P. Jaborani. Also called iamborandi. The plant is grown mainly in Brazil. This herb can be used in small amounts under the care of a herbalist when combined with hair tonics as well as herbal and vinegar rinses,

When in doubt never use herbs in any home recipe without first receiving permission from your primary health physician. Herbs should also never be used when under a doctors care for a health issue or when taken prescription drugs. Some herbs may interact appropriately with the drugs.

*Some of these recipes are based upon information published in Herbs & Things by Jeanne Rose's Herbal first published in 1972.
