Kapur Kachri is a highly aromatic herb celebrated in Ayurveda for its use in hair care. Its stimulating and antioxidant properties help to promote hair growth by invigorating the scalp. It is used to strengthen the hair roots, add shine, and impart a beautiful, lingering fragrance to the hair. It is also used in traditional medicine as an expectorant to relieve coughs and congestion.
● For a Fragrant Hair Growth Mask: Combine Kapur Kachri powder with other beneficial hair herbs like SUPHERB® Amla, Bhringraj, and Reetha. Mix into a paste with water and apply to the scalp and hair. Leave for an hour before washing.
● As a Natural Dry Shampoo: A small amount can be puffed into the roots of the hair to absorb oil and leave a pleasant scent.
Our Kapur Kachri is sourced from the pristine foothills of the Himalayas, where it grows in its native habitat.
The rhizomes are carefully harvested, cleaned, dried, and ground to preserve their rich content of volatile essential oils, ensuring a powerfully fragrant and effective powder.
