Bhringamalakadi Thailam (100ml) | Cooling Hair & Scalp Care

Bhringamalakadi Thailam is a classical cooling Ayurvedic medicated oil (Taila). Its name is drawn from its two chief ingredients, Bhringa (Bhringaraja, Eclipta alba, the celebrated "king of hair" herb) and Amalaki (Amla), joined by the suffix adi meaning "and others". Processed with cooling milk and licorice, it is one of Ayurveda's most valued head and hair oils, intended for external application.

Ayurvedic Significance

In Ayurveda, the health of the hair is closely linked to the Asthi dhatu and to balanced Pitta in the scalp, while heat and restlessness in the head are signs of aggravated Pitta. Bhringamalakadi is a classically Keshya (hair-supporting), Chakshushya (eye-supporting) and cooling formulation. Bhringaraja and Amalaki are the two foremost herbs for the hair, and the cooling milk, licorice and oil base soothe excess heat in the head, support restful sleep and calm the mind. It is regarded as cooling, nourishing and Pitta-pacifying in nature.
