For some reason people still keep contacting me about Bamboo Leaf tea, which I sold at markets about 2 years ago, and I have put them in contact with the supplier up until today.  I responded asking what they would take it for, and the answer was Hair growth.  I ended that with, well I will go investigate in the garden in the morning and make a suggestion or two, and if she likes it I will harvest it fresh.  That is so much better than dried stuff without dates on them.  I think it’s better the garden function as a factory, and storeroom than separating them into a system that tries to control nature itself too.

In my research I found that Rosemary, Peppermint, Stinging Nettle, Aloe, Gingko Biloba, Ginseng, Saw Palmetto, Horsetail, Burdock and Lavender oils can be mixed with olive oil and massaged into the scalp to stimulate hair growth.  There are in fact, a lot more than that to list.

I also researched whether drinking tea make from these herbs or various combinations of them will be as effective as massaging herbal oil into ones hair.  Aloe Vera can be added to shampoo.  Stinging Nettle and Aloe Vera are quite reputable as solutions.  The good news about making Teas from these herbs is also that the tea can be used as a conditioner and it can be enjoyed with some tasty snacks.

Here is how to do it:

  1. Heat a cup of water in a pan and add tea leaves or herbs in this case to it
  2. Boil for 5 minutes
  3. Strain the liquid and let it cool down.
  4. Mix this liquid with some mint water
  5. Use this to rinse your hair or enjoy it as an iced tisane ;-)

If you would like me to get into the garden and pick you a few cups of tea give me a call 072 146 9017 or order via email nntreasure@gmail.com
