There is a wide variety of beauty and cosmetic products available to help achieve healthy and beautiful hair. However, there is nothing like natural ingredients, as they help promote hair health without the adverse effects of synthetic chemicals. In the realm of natural ingredients, Ayurveda happens to be time tested traditional Indian knowledge that helps protect and improve the overall health of the hair.

The term Ayurveda is derived from ‘Ayu’, which means life or longevity, and ‘Veda’, which means knowledge or science. Ayurveda contains practices and medicinal concoctions that help promote overall health and wellbeing. There are various Ayurvedic ingredients that one can choose from to include in their hair-care routine, be it in the form of hair oil or masks.

Here are three Ayurveda ingredients that will boost the health of your hair

1. Hibiscus

Hibiscus flower is a key Ayurvedic ingredient and is known for its beneficial properties for hair health. As per a study in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, a complete recovery from dormant hair follicles and bald patches is possible by using hibiscus flowers.

It contains amino acids, which produce keratin, that in turn provides the hair with the nutrients that help in promoting hair growth, rehydration, and fighting dandruff. Hibiscus can be grinded to form a paste and used to make hair oil or mask.

2. Amla

In Ayurveda, amla is a highly regarded and widely consumed fruit, because of the large body of health benefits it provides. It is a nutrient-rich fruit that promotes hair health, due to the presence of essential vitamins and antioxidants. These properties improve the health of damaged hair, prevent hair fall, and ward off dandruff, split-ends and dryness.

3. Methi
