Burdock oil is available in all pharmacies and some stores of household chemicals and cosmetics, that is, it is not difficult to find it. The cost of the product is also pleasing - from 50 rubles per 250 ml, depending on the brand.

Burdock oil is hypoallergenic. Although, if you have never used it, it is better to play it safe and do a skin reaction test. To do this, apply a little oil on the wrist or on the bend of the elbow from the inside; wait 15 minutes; if there is no itching, redness, burning sensation - everything is fine. If any of the above bothers you, wash the oil off immediately with soap and cool water and see a doctor.

The main advantage of burdock oil can be considered that it is effective even without additional ingredients: it is enough to rub it regularly into the hair roots, and the result will not be long in coming.

Burdock oil is made by infusing burdock roots, or, as it is popularly called, burdock, in olive, linseed, and sometimes even sunflower oils. Our grandmothers and great-grandmothers did it on their own, there were enough burdocks in the gardens. If you also want a 100% natural product, the method of cooking at home is quite simple. It is better to do blanks, namely digging, in September or, if you didn’t have time in the fall, then in early spring, before flowering. It is advisable to know that the plant being dug up is no more than a year old. The thick, fleshy burdock root sometimes goes to a depth of one and a half, or even two meters. Having dug up this wealth, rinse it thoroughly, peel it off the bark, chop it.

Pour 100 grams of chopped roots with 200 grams of fatty oil (you can move away from traditional ones and take castor, almond, apricot, amaranth or any other). Leave the mixture overnight in a dark place. Then heat the mixture in a water bath and, stirring constantly, cook for 15 minutes without boiling. Cool, strain, pour into glassware. Store the mixture in the refrigerator for up to two months.

If the root remains, dry it until future times. Also, dry rhizome of burdock can be bought at a pharmacy.

Combine in a glass container 5 tablespoons of burdock root powder and half a liter of the oil you like. Let it brew for three weeks in a dark, warm place. Then apply as directed.

Burdock root is rich in a natural carbohydrate called inulin.It is an excellent moisturizer and emollient for the scalp. In addition to inulin, burdock oil contains fatty acids, vitamins A, E, C, carotene, minerals, and organic acids. All this makes it an indispensable ingredient in various restorative hair masks. It is also used for hair growth, strengthening, in the fight against dryness or itching of the scalp, with dandruff and active loss of strands.
