Here’s how the Aparajita flower comes to your rescue

Achieving voluminous and luscious locks is a desire that is shared by many women, but thanks to our lifestyle and the environment around us, it feels like an elusive dream. While there are countless hair products in the market, there are some natural remedies that indeed stand out and have the potential to give you the lost shine and bounce that you’re craving. In today’s haircare chapter, we’re talking about the Aparajita flower, also known as Clitoria ternatea, and creating a magical herbal tea, which can help in hair fall control during this transition season.

Understanding the nutrients of Aparajita tea

Aparajita tea is made from the vibrant blue flowers of the Aparajita plant and has been a treasured traditional medicine for centuries in the segment of Ayurveda. Brimming with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, this herbal concoction offers an overall holistic approach to your hair roots. This further addresses various underlying issues as well, which might also include things that are barring you from hair growth and volume.

How does it help in hair growth?

The antioxidants present in Aparajita tea improve blood circulation to the scalp and further ensure that the hair follicles also receive an equal supply of oxygen and nutrients. It improves the blood flow, promoting hair growth, and also strengthens the roots. This eventually leads to thicker and fuller locks.

Does it nourish the scalp?

Yes. Packed with vitamins and minerals that are essential for maintaining a healthy scalp, it includes vitamin E, vitamin C, and iron. These nutrients nourish the scalp and combat dryness, flakiness, and dandruff as well, which hinders hair growth and volume. On the other hand, the antioxidants combat free radical damage, which contributes to hair fall and premature hair loss, and prevent hair shedding as well.

How to make Aparajita herbal tea?

Step 1: For internal consumption, brew a cup of tea by steeping dried Aparajita flowers or tea bags in hot water for around 10 minutes.
Step 2: Allow the tea to cool down to a comfortable temperature before consuming it.
Step 3: Now, consume 2 cups of Aparajita tea every day to reap its hair-strengthening benefits from within and witness the change over time.

How to use it for external use?

Step 1: Prepare a strong infusion of Aparajita tea by boiling the dried flowers or tea bags in water for 15 minutes.
Step 2: Allow the infusion to cool down and strain out the flowers or tea bags.
Step 3: Use this tea after it has cooled down as a final rinse post shampooing and conditioning your mane. Gently massage it into the scalp and cover your scalp for 10 minutes to let it seep in.
Use this rinse thrice a week as part of your hair care routine.

How often should your drink it?

You can drink Aparajita (Butterfly Pea) flower tea about 3 to 4 times a week to help control hair fall and support healthy growth. This herbal tea is rich in antioxidants and flavonoids that nourish hair follicles, improve scalp blood circulation, and reduce oxidative stress, the main cause of thinning and dull hair. However, moderation is key. While it’s great for boosting hair health, overconsumption (more than two cups a day) might cause mild stomach discomfort in some people. Ideally, sip it in the morning or early evening, without added sugar, and pair it with a balanced diet for the best results.

8/8

Who should avoid consuming?

Pregnant women or those who are still breastfeeding should refrain from consuming because of limited research. People who are having issues of blood-thinning, should also avoid consuming this tea as the compounds in the tea may interact with these medications and increase the blood circulation, which could pose a great risk.
