The Ayurveda Lab ™- Shikakai
In Ayurveda, shikakai is classified as Keshya Dravya (hair-nourishing herbs). Long before modern shampoos were invented, it was a sacred hair-cleansing method utilized in Ayurvedic rites for generations. Shikakai was advised for scalp diseases such as Darunaka (dandruff) and Indralupta (hair loss), and was frequently soaked overnight and used as a hair wash during seasonal transitions or under the full moon, as it was thought to have both physical and spiritual cleaning properties. Shikakai powder was used in ancient Udvartana scrubs, which are Ayurvedic massages that use herbal powders as a gentle exfoliation on the scalp and upper body.
