Using karela or bitter gourd for hair growth is the new trend!
(Image Credits: Pinterest) Growing up, karela or bitter gourd was the one vegetable universally disliked by kids. Not much has changed over the years in terms of taste, but people are now rediscovering its value, especially for beauty and wellness. Did you know that juice extracted from karela can help control dandruff, reduce hair fall, and even promote the growth of new baby hair? If you are struggling with hair loss and looking for a simple, natural remedy, this might be the perfect time to add karela to your haircare routine. How does Karela help in hair growth? Bitter gourd can combat hair loss and promote hair growth, as it is tied to tonnes of nutritional values. A hundred grams of karela includes around 84 mg of vitamin C and is also rich in vitamins B and A, protein, and antioxidants that nourish the scalp and further strengthen the hair follicles. (Image Credits: Pinterest) Acting as an active antimicrobial agent, it helps reduce oxidative stress on the scalp, which contributes to hair loss. The high water content of karela also keeps the scalp hydrated, preventing dryness which leads to hair loss issues. The rich vitamin content further improves hair texture, adding shine, and acts as a natural conditioner as well. (Image Credits: Pinterest) How to use Karela in your haircare routine? Step 1: The juice extracted from karela can be used for your hair strands and scalp. Take two bitter gourds, water, and a pinch of salt. Step 2: Wash the karela properly and then cut off its tail and head without peeling off the rough edges. Remove the seeds and then cut the karela into small pieces. Step 3: Put it in the blender with water and salt, and start the blending process. Pour it over a strainer to filter out the bitter gourd juice and apply this on the scalp and strands. You can also consume it for a clear gut, better blood circulation, and overall healthier effects. Step 4: Leave this karela juice extract on the scalp and strands for about half an hour, and then rinse it off with a shampoo that has no harsh chemicals. All about Mesotherapy, the French rejuvenation technique An easy-to-make, beneficial home remedy that combats hair loss and promotes hair growth at the same time. However, this extract should be used in moderation, as it might have side effects of dryness and irritation; thus, incorporating this karela juice twice a week is more than enough and can yield noticeable improvements as well.
