Anyone use Jaborandi or Indian Hemp in homemade sprays or oils or creams?

[Mahalialee4]

I mean the pure one you order from Penn Herb? Has anyone used this without it being in a grease product? bonjour

I use jaborandi a.k.a heavenly hemp a.k.a Indian hemp a.k.a hempseed oil that I mix in my hot oil treatments but sorry I have never ordered it from penn. I get mine from mountainroseherbs. I prefer oils like hemp and borage that are essensial fatty acids (omega fatty acids). They even have a hempseed butter at fromnaturewithlove. I havent seen a hempseed cream.

I have never heard of either of these.


foxybrownsugar,
do you mind telling me what effects have you noticed from your hair when using them?
thanks in advance

I use these & other fatty oils because no.1 I have had severe dandruff/allergic rxns in the past & no.2 they make my hair buttery soft whereas, just using evoo alone had my hair feeling like straw. Borage oil nourishes nails, scalp, and hair, clears up acne and rosacea and reduces eczema, psoriasis, and seborrhic dermatitis. It contains more gamma linolenic acid (GLA) than evening primrose. Hempseed oil contains a balanced blend of omega 3 & omega 6 (3:1). A defiency of essential fatty acids includes symtoms of brittle dull hair, nail problems, dandruff, allergies, dermatitis, and eczema. These are just 2 of my faves. I'm a oil lover esp the exotic. There are other fatty oils that people on this board and other boards love too like grapeseed, rosehip, meadowfoam, & pumpkinseed to name a few. But with all hair products, what one head of hair loves, another will not like. So use oils that work for you. hth. Have a nice evening.

Your Welcome. You can find borage seed oil at mountainroseherbs.com, under carrier oils. Some of their oils are even certified organic like castor oil too.

I was going to order the jaborandi leaves but instead ordered it in powdered form. Not sure what to expect. I would like to use it as a hair rinse or mixed with something. bonjour
