Who doesn’t want to have healthy and lustrous long hair? Hair is undoubtedly, one of the most prized physical features that can change the entire appearance of a person. An average person’s hair grows a quarter inch every month. But there are certain factors such as stress, trauma, hormonal changes and dietary changes that can affect the natural pace of hair growth.
Although there are no shortcuts or miracle cures to have longer hair, but there are a few natural ingredients that can speed up the process of hair growth such as curry leaves.
Are Curry Leaves Really Helpful for Hair Growth?
- Curry leaves boost the restoration process of the scalp which opens up the clogged hair follicles and allow them to breathe.
- The antioxidants and amino acids present in curry leaves strengthen the hair follicles and moisturize the scalp.
- Beta-carotene, vitamin B6 and proteins present in curry leaves stop hair thinning, strengthen the hair shafts and improves overall quality of the hair.

Hi everyone, this is Rajee!
I live the beautiful city of Baltimore, where my husband works.
I’m from India. I have been visiting India on and off for past few years and my mom was an inspiration for me to start this site. She has a wealth of knowledge on home remedies for a large number of health problems, and we grew up in an environment where frequent visits to the doctor just wasn’t logistically or financially feasible.
Despite this, she managed to raise a family of healthy kids, and my goal here at Home Remedies for Life is to pass on some of her knowledge of natural remedies.

Hello all,
I am a first timer here with very frequent hair fall and greying hair. I would like to share my experiences here. I am not going to mention any brand names of the medicines I have tried or still trying.
I was taking tablets that had shark cartilage as the main ingredient for 1 year. Yes It did promise hair growth and I saw very few tiny hairs not more than 3mm that used to fall after a drying my hair after a shower. But I stopped that and started taking this incredible curry leaf porridge/soup( 50 GM packets containing curry leaf, ginger, garlic all in powder form), A Sri Lankan product sold in shops here in Australia). 15 grams of this powder + a cup of hot water, taken 5 days a week. Started using it for the past 1.5 months and since last week, I can see significant amount of tiny hair .5cm to 1cm in length all over the washbasin after a drying my hair after a shower! My advice is just buy authentic curry powder from a shop or even better grind it at home and take 15 to 20 grams in hot water. The botanical name of the product I use is given as Murraya Koenigie.
