🌸 Beginning: The Story of Bhringraj
Ayurveda says that hair is a sign of how healthy you are on the inside. Good ojas (vitality) and balanced doshas are shown by hair that is strong, dark, and shiny. For hundreds of years, people have thought that Bhringraj is the best hair tonic among hundreds of Ayurvedic plants.
This little, unassuming plant is known as Kesha Raja, which means “Ruler of Hair.” It has a legendary role in traditional medicine. It’s not just a story; contemporary research has shown that it can regrow hair, enhance blood flow to the scalp, and slow down the ageing of hair cells.
Roshni Botanicals’ HerbOcean Hair Oil is based on these old recipes. It combines Bhringraj with other classic herbs to make an oil that helps hair grow stronger and healthier from the roots to the tips.

🧪 The Science of Bhringraj Oil
Hair Growth Stimulation
Research on C57BL/6 mice showed that Bhringraj extract sped up hair renewal by shortening the telogen (resting) period (Soni, 2017).
2. Stopping Grey Hair
Researchers discovered that Bhringraj aids in stimulating melanogenesis, the natural process of colour development in hair. Applying it regularly keeps hair darker and shinier (Jadhav, 2009).
3. Fights inflammation and free radicals
Oxidative stress is one of the main reasons why hair turns grey too soon and follicles get damaged. Bhringraj has wedelolactone and ecliptine in it, which are strong antioxidants that protect hair at the cellular level (Umbarkar, 2016).
4. Benefits for the whole person
Bhringraj is good for more than just hair; it protects the liver, helps the body adapt, and makes you feel younger. This means that it also indirectly helps hair health by making the liver work better and the blood healthier (Kumari et al., 2021).

🌏 The Old Ayurvedic Way of Thinking
In old Ayurvedic books like Bhavaprakasha Nighantu, Bhringraj is said to be: • Keshya — helps hair grow.
• Rasayana — makes tissues younger.
• Kaphavatahara makes the scalp less dry, flaky, and shed too much hair.
So, Bhringraj is thought to be a full scalp-care herb that helps balance doshas, feed tissues, and renew cells.
