Add the amla and bhringraj powders to the oil mixture. Amla is rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, promoting hair growth and preventing hair loss. Bhringraj is known as the “king of herbs” for hair growth, helping to prevent hair fall and stimulate growth.

Pour the oil mixture into a saucepan and heat on a low flame. Stir occasionally and allow the mixture to heat for about 15-20 minutes. Ensure the oil doesn’t reach a high temperature, as this can destroy the nutrients. Once done, let it cool down completely.

After the oil has cooled, strain it using a fine sieve or cheesecloth to remove the solid particles. Pour the strained oil into a clean, dry bottle. Add the rosemary and lavender essential oils to the strained oil and shake well to mix. These essential oils not only add a pleasant fragrance but also have properties that promote hair growth and relaxation.
