In Ayurveda, healthy hair and brows are more than a matter of appearance, they are a reflection of health and inner harmony. When the body’s Rasa Dhatu (the first tissue formed from the food we eat) is well-nourished, vitality flows through to the Asthi Dhatu (the tissue that governs our hair, nails, and bones). The result? Strength, shine, and strong, healthy growth.
Below, we explore the Ayurvedic foods and rituals that feed beauty from within, and how the Mauli Rituals Brow Oil can help you complete this holistic practice.
Best Ayurvedic Foods for Hair Growth
1. Ghee
Rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, ghee is deeply revered in Ayurveda as a Rasayana (rejuvenator). It nourishes every tissue, strengthens the digestive fire (Agni), and ensures that nutrients reach the hair follicles.
A spoonful of warm ghee in your morning porridge or drizzled over steamed greens offers inner moisture - the foundation of lustrous, resilient hair and brows.
2. Sesame and Coconut Oil
Sesame oil, known as the “queen of oils,” is grounding and fortifying which is particularly beneficial for Vata types who experience dryness and thinning. Coconut oil, by contrast, cools Pitta, helping to calm inflammation that can hinder growth.
Incorporating these oils into your diet (or massaging them into the scalp) supports strength, shine, and serenity from root to tip.
3. Avocado, Nuts & Seeds
Avocado, almonds, walnuts, and black sesame seeds are rich in healthy fats, vitamin E, and protein which are all essential for maintaining moisture, flexibility, and strength in the hair shaft. Ayurveda values these foods for their Ojas-enhancing properties. Enjoy a handful of nuts or a drizzle of tahini daily to keep the body (and hair) deeply nourished.
4. Amla
Also known as Indian Gooseberry, Amla is a potent source of vitamin C and a cornerstone of Ayurvedic hair care. It’s known to strengthen hair roots, prevent premature greying, and promote thickness.
A spoon of fresh Amla juice or Amla powder mixed into warm water helps restore vitality and balance.
5. Dark Leafy Greens
Spinach, moringa, and drumstick leaves are celebrated for building Rakta Dhatu (the blood tissue), improving circulation to the scalp and brow area. Their iron and mineral content ensure that oxygen and nutrients reach the hair follicles, supporting sustained, healthy growth.
6. Dates, Figs & Raisins
In Ayurveda, naturally sweet foods are grounding and deeply replenishing. Dates, figs, and raisins support the blood and reproductive tissues, which are intimately connected to hair health. Soak a few overnight and enjoy them in the morning to strengthen Rasa and Rakta Dhatu, fostering glossy, nourished strands and fuller brows.
The Ritual of Brow Oil
Topical nourishment is the perfect complement to an Ayurvedic diet. Our Grow Strong Brow Oil is crafted to strengthen and condition brows using a blend of potent botanical actives and Ayurvedic wisdom.
Key Ingredients:
-
Amla & Bhringraj: Strengthen follicles and encourage new growth.
-
Castor & Argan Oil: Deeply nourish and condition the hair shaft.

This formula works on both the physical and energetic level — strengthening hair while promoting clarity and balance in the mind through gentle daily ritual.
How to Use:
Apply daily using the rollerball applicator. Gently roll the oil across the brow line, then take a moment to massage it in.
Marma Point Massage - Awakening the Brow Energy Centres
In Ayurveda, the brow area corresponds to key Marma points — subtle energy centres that govern intuition, vision, and mental clarity. The rollerball applicator of our Brow Oil is intentionally designed to stimulate these marma points as you apply, enhancing circulation, encouraging growth, and calming the mind.
With daily use, this mindful act becomes more than skincare. It becomes a grounding ritual of self-connection and renewal.
The Art of Consistency
Just as hair thrives on consistent nourishment, results come from devotion to ritual. Nourish daily with wholesome foods, stay hydrated, and dedicate a few quiet moments each evening to your brow ritual. With time, patience, and care, you’ll see (and feel) the difference.
