I have never ever cooked without curry leaves. I love the smell and taste it brings to dishes and gravies. To get the maximum flavor, try to add it while seasoning so that it releases it’s wonderful aroma. For certain gravies and rasam, it is added at the end too. Encourage young children to eat the gravies along with curry leaves. Once they develop the habit of eating the curry leaves when they are young, they will continue to do it all their life.

Hello Ramya I am vivek I am suffering from low density hair problem whether curry leaves paste with boiled milk will helps to regrow my hair
Hi, You can use this curry leaf pack but try it with yogurt instead of milk. Hair fall in men is mostly due to genetics (male pattern baldness) or stress. If it is stress related, it is easy to treat but if it is due to male pattern baldness, regular homemade hair packs and oil bath will prevent further loss but will not bring back lost hair. If you are suffering from male pattern baldness along with external treatments, I would suggest drinking green tea or taking saw palmetto or using pumpkin seed oil as they are natural DHT blockers (the hormone that causes baldness)…..

Hi Nidhi, so many factors cause hair fall – deficiencies, stress, like you mentioned hard water, allergies and illness. Though external application of hair oils will condition the hair, it can only go so far. Try to find the root cause of the problem, (check for deficiencies, notice whether you are stressed) once you find the root cause it will be easier to treat it. But continue applying this oil, it will condition and nourish the hair externally and will treat grey hair too..
Mam,I catch cold very easily so is there any other option other than curd to make the paste.Secondly can olive oil be used in place of virgin coconut oil?

You can consume curry leaves and tulsi water on a daily basis but please do remember tulsi has anti fertility properties. Regarding external application, curry leaves paste with Aloe gel and curd sounds good. I would also kindly suggest trying to pinpoint the reason for hair fall first – Are you stressed? Nutritional deficiencies? Scalp problems? Usually if we pinpoint the problem, it is much easier to rectify the problem.
