Ramya…
I got a hair pack recipe from an Ayurvedic book which calls for using a mix of equal amounts of fresh bringaraj leaves paste and athi madhuram powder (licorice/yastimadhu) for long hair growth. I have bringaraj and athi madhuram, both in powdered form, I don’t have access to fresh bringaraj leaves. Please tell me how to use bringaraj powder for making this hair pack. Should I soak bringaraj powder in water overnight and then mix with athimadhuram and use as hair pack? Please clarify.
