How to prepare

  1. Crush 8–10 fresh tulsi leaves with 1 tsp water to release the juice.
  2. Mix the strained juice into 3 tbsp fresh aloe vera gel.
  3. Part the hair and apply directly to the scalp with fingertips.
  4. Leave for 30–40 minutes, then rinse with a mild herbal shampoo.

Duration: 2 times a week for 4–6 weeks.

Why this works

Aloe vera deeply hydrates and calms an inflamed scalp, while tulsi is traditionally antimicrobial — together they soothe the itch-flake cycle without stripping the scalp.

Safety notes

Patch-test first
  • Patch-test fresh aloe — some skins react to the yellow latex just under the leaf skin.
  • Use only fresh, clean gel; refrigerate any leftover mix and use within 24 hours.
