I need to get back on sealing my edges with Bhrami or Bhringjai every day. I'm trying to heal these edges from whatever issue they are facing.

Brewed my hibiscus/bhringraj tea last night. This morning, did a loose aritha paste/tea. I massaged in. Leaving in for 10min before I do my weekly 100G Brahmi treatment.

Sorry guys but I have a rant: Ok, so the past 3-4 weeks I've been doing the weekly Brahmi packs right. Well, I just used my last Hesh box from my stash. I have about 1lb of FNWL Brahmi to use up now.
So, I think since last week my hair has grown. Usually I apply to dry hair, though today I applied to wet hair. I didn't have enough paste yet!! So, I had like a patch at the top that needed to be touched up. So, I go and add a few TBS of the FNWL Brahmi to my hibiscus tea and stir.
That was was so grainy, it didn't even want to mix smoothly. I go to apply and it's just crumbly. Good thing I only had to apply to that section.
So, I go grab my Hesh Box and FNWL bag:
Hesh: Brahmi Leaves Pdr. (Thyme leave pdr/herpestis monniera)
FNWL: Brahmi/Gotu Kola
Upon further research online, they are NOT the same thing

What's the difference? Which one is real brahmi or are they both a blend?

They are basically 2 different plants that use the same name. I can't really say if one is better than the other or not. What I do know is that the FNWL brand is very coarse and grainy.

Nasdaq_Diva I did some reading about brahmi and only ended up more confused. I have the hesh powder and I like it. I want to try gotu kola too. I almost got some capsules today
I got fenugreek capsules for breastfeeding because my son is not gaining weight as much as the doctor would like. I was reading some ayurveda websites and they all said that taking the herbs internally helps with hair growth, which is why I wanted the brahmi capsules. Don't know if that's a good idea for the baby though
I haven't used any powders on my hair in about 2 weeks because I henna'ed and my hair felt so thick and weird from it that I didn't think putting anything else on was a good idea.
What do you all usually do after henna?
Ive been conditioning hardcore and now i'm a bit over conditioned and want to do something about it

I use it as part of my conditioning mix. So I usually use Bhrami/Bhrinjai with Hibiscus and Fenugreek under my deep conditioner.
I think it does a lot to condition and give my hair nice slip, but I dont know what it does individually

Thats what I've been looking for, something to give my conditioners extra slip. Hmmm any suggestions on where I can purchase? How much do you usually add to your conditioners?

hmm, let's see.
Last time I made a paste that had about a tbsp of each powder and mixed in some water. Then I applied it to my cleansed hair. Then I cover it with my DC (I think i used Bee Mine).
Then I cover up my hair with my plastic cap and go about my business while it marinates
I have to give all credit for this to flowinlocks for this method
I see your oil rinse results in your siggy. I'm goign to start this tomorrow, i think I'll add it after I rinse out my DC and before I detangle. I did it quickly last time and it seemed to work well on the one side that got most of the oil
ETA: I bought mine at FNWL but I'm about to place an order at ayurnaturalbeauty

My plan is to use up this FNWL Brahmi and then find a Hesh type of Brahmi (Thyme Leaves/herpestis monniera) from here on out.
I've heard fenugreek is very good at increasing milk supply. A little goes a long way. Do a search for "fenugreek breasts" and see what you come up with.
What did you use after your henna? After I henna, I co-wash out a few times, then do a moisturizing DC. I either do an overnight henna or an overnight DC.
I cowashed it out, then dced and have dced a couple of times since then lol
I'm about to use a little shikakai and amla to bring some life back into my hair

I've now done two cassia treatments and my hair is in LOVE!!! 
Why did I wait so long to try this. My hair is so shiny, fuller and thicker. So glad I finally tried this. :superbanana:Now I need to increase my moisturizing game. Before, all I need was regular conditioner, now, nothing works like before. But I'm still happy.

How did you use your cassia? I have a package but I haven't used it yet

I used a 100 gram package with only warm water. I wanted to get the full effect of cassia without mixing it with another powder. Next time, I may consider a cassia gloss, meaning mixing it with conditioner.

Okay I think I finally have decided what my ayurvedic reggie will be:
Do a HOT and turn it into an oil rinse with amla or shikakai oil 1x/wkly
Tea rinse 1x/wkly, alternate strengthening mix and moisturizing mix
Paste 1x/wkly, alternate bentonite,amla, cassia, and rhassoul clay
Amla paste was a hit. My curls and coils are popping.

DCed with a mixture of ayurvedic powders (make, brahmi, amla) as well as raw honey and EVOO. Hair feels luscious. 
Need to purchase some extra virgin coconut oil to make my own amla/brahmi oil. I've even been contemplating buying some ceramide oil (sunflower, hemp seed oil, walnut oil) and using that to make some ayurvedic oils to get added benefits.

I started back using an oil infusion I made a while back of brahmi/bhringaraj. I added some peppermint oil too.
The peppermint tingles encourage me to massage.
