Ingredients
How to make amla hair oil at home?
What you need:
Amla powder – 250 grams + 100 grams
Water – 4 liters
Coconut oil – 500 ml
Why coconut oil?
Most of the Ayurvedic oils are prepared with sesame oil base. But for hairs, coconut oil is a better choice because of high nutritive value. But people with sinusitis, cold problem may not tolerate coconut oil. They may use sesasme oil / mustard oil in place of coconut oil.
Procedure
First, Amla kashayam is prepared. Kashayam means water decoction.
Add 250 grams of amla powder to 4 liters of water and boil and reduce to 1 liter.
The rules for making Kashayam like maintaining a low flame, continuous stirring, using a wide mouthed vessel etc.
After the decoction is boiled and reduced to 1 liter, the liquid is filtered to get Kashayam.
Take the Kashayam in a wide mouthed vessel.
Take 100 grams of amla powder in a small bowl, add a little water to it and make it into Amla paste.
Add this amla paste and add 500 ml of coconut oil to the amla kashayam.
Heat this mixture of oil, Amla kashayam and Amla paste over mild heat till only the coconut oil remains.
Proportions to prepare 10 oz of Amla oil –
If you are not familiar with grams and ml calculations, here is the calculation to prepare 10 oz of Amla hair oil.
Step 1: For Kashaya preparation:
Amla powder for Kashaya preparation – 5 oz
Water for Kashaya – 80 oz
Boil water with Amla powder and reduce the Kashaya to 20 oz.
Step 2. Oil making
Kashaya – 20 oz (got from the above technique)
Coconut oil – 10 oz
Amla powder – made into paste with water – 2 oz.
Final product expected – around 10 oz or just slightly lesser.
Signs to observe
Initially the whole mass turns muddy. Slowly as the water starts evaporating, the oil starts getting separated. The liquid starts getting clearer.
Initially, water bubbles will be visible. At the end stage, when water is completely evaporated, the bubbles stop and froathing sets in, indicating to stop heating the oil .
Initially if you take the amla paste from the oil and put it onto fire, it makes noise, indicating the presence of water.
When the water is completely evaporated, there will not be any noise, when amla paste is put on fire.
It may take up to 3 hours to complete the procedure.
When you are sure that the entire water content has evaporated, stop heating and filter it when it is still hot.
You will get 400 – 450 ml of final yield of the oil.
Principle
Principle behind this procedure:
This technique of making amla hair oil is based on Ayurveda principles. The Kashayam contains water soluble active phyto-nutrients of Amla and boiling Amla powder along with Kashayam with coconut oil extracts fat soluble phyto nutrients of Amla into the oil.
Coconut oil itself is a rich source of nutrients that are required for hair care.
Benefits, shelf life
Benefits:
- Relieves split hair, dry hair problem
- promotes hair growth both in men and women
- Relieves dandruff, nourishes the hair root and scalp.
- Relieves headache, dizziness
- Relieves nasal bleeding in children, which usually occurs due to excessive heat exposure and during summer.
Shelf life:
The oil can be stored for a period of 1 – 1.5 years in an air tight container.
Benefits over market available oil
How is it better than market available Amla hair oil?
- You know all the ingredients, you know the genuinity of amla powder and hence you are aware and assured of the quality of hair oil.
- No preservative is added. No chemical perfume is added. The product is 100 % natural.

Nice one. However which coconut oil to use? Is Parachute fine? How to make sure we get pure coconut oil?
Thanks
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
Parachute, or any brand of good coconut oil is just fine. Since it is for external use only, there should not a big worry about the quality of coconut oil.
Devyam
Sir, in this method of making hair oil, you have not added FENUGREEK, is it not required to also add fenugreek ? As far as I think fenugreek helps in making the hair black [ natual colour ] from grey hair. Please advice Sir.
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
This tutorial was meant to prepare pure amla hair oil, with amla as the only herbal ingredient. Based on personal liking, many combinations of ingredients can be used.
Devyam
Ok, Sir, then, will it be safe to add fenugreek while making this amla oil in this method.
Nishat
Kindly can u say when to add methi, I mean at which stage? Thanks
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
Hi, it can be added while preparing the Kashayam. Please see my other article on hair oil here – How to make Bhringaraj hair oil – https://www.easyayurveda.com/2013/03/25/how-to-make-bhringraj-oil-for-hair-growth-video/

Hello Sir I just watched your video and it’s really informative and I liked it. I had to ask you a question is amla oil beneficial for growing beard ?
R405
Great video! Can you substitute Amla powder for Bhringaraj powder to prevent hair loss and premature graying?
dinesh60
Sir, can we make hair oil by taking equal amount of amla juice and coconut oil and heat until oil remain? or by adding all at one say amla powder 350 g coconut oil 500ml and 1l litre of water until oil remains instead of making kashayam? what will the changes in properties of making oil like this?
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
You can just mix amla powder + water+oil and boil till oil remains. But traditionally Kashayam is made first. Making Kashayam ensures maximum availability of water soluble Amla extracts in the oil.
If you’re only taking amla juice and coconut oil, then you will miss most of the fat and water soluble active principles of Amla in the oil. So do not.
dinesh60
Sir, sorry but one more doubt. Instead of powder, if we take fresh grated amla 1/2 kg+water1l+coconut oil 500ml and boil until oil remains will oil will have maximum amla extract as per your theory of making amla oil? is the measurement correct? what colour oil will have at end.
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
In making of herbal oils, in all the references found, Amla is always used as dry powder. However, no harm in using fresh one, if you do not get it dry.
Around 200 – 300 grams of pulp + 1 liter of water and 500 ml oil looks good. But this is just a guess work.
dinesh60
Sir, actually I was trying to make kashayam but I was unable to separate water from powder after burning 3 liter of water. I don’t know where I have done mistake. Is it we have to take coarse powder to make kashayam and fine powder in oil please explain?
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
That is why for Kashayam, always coarse powder is preferred.
If you’ve taken fine powder, then filter it across a cloth and use that thick Kashayam only. It can also be used to prepare the oil.
dinesh60
Sir, to grow knee length hair for my daughter which other herbs can be added with amla and in which ratio?
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
I will soon be making another hair oil for this purpose.
dinesh60
Sir, roughly when we can except making of your another hair oil? one more suggestion pls try to put the recipe in which hair oil gets ready within one hour as it will be helpful to all of us and save gas also.
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
Within a month, I guess.
Sherri
Wonderful video, I just wanted to know what type of paper are you using to strain this with?
JACQUELYN CROWLEY
I am from Califorinia do you sell the Alma oil and powder you make, if not where would i find the pure raw Alma powder and the oil online, also how many tablespoons instead of grams sorry i am just not familiar with grams.
Thanks for info
latha john
can you tell me how?
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
Just replace amla powder quantities with fresh amla. The final oil may be a bit diluted, but still will be effective.
JACQUELYN CROWLEY
Thank You!!
Sandie
What quantities should one use for a final priducr of around 6oz of amla oil. Since will take less preparation time and I also like to use my oil freshly made on a weekly basis. Also, what would gice better results, should the oil be applied on dry hair before due for a wash or on damp clean hair and then wash it out again in order to rinse the oil?
Elena
Very well-done explanation! But how do we use amla oil on hair? Does it work as a normal shampoo!!! Thank you!
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
Hi, usually amla oil is used as hair oil to apply. As per Ayurveda, it is good to apply small quantities of oil to the hair to improve qualities of hair and also to relieve stress. Read more here – https://www.easyayurveda.com/2011/12/13/how-and-when-to-apply-hair-oil-ayurveda-details/
Elena
great! Thank you for all your informations!
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
I think you can use the oil that you’ve prepared, if it is properly prepared.
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
Neeli helps in hair growth and to relieve grey hairs.
Applying this oil half an hour before head bath is good. This oil can also be applied at night, but some people get problems of cold and worsening of sinusitis with such usage.
SillyWabbit
Hello there! Thank you very much for your detailed video. May I use a coconut oil + olive oil mixture?
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
Dear Sillywabbit,
You can surely use coconut oil+olive oil mix.
Thanks for liking my video.

There is an oil that they sell and they add bhringraj, amla, rosemary, lavender, jojoba and they add Biotin and MSM (methylsulfonyl-methane). I wonder if it would not affect the herbs good properties. What do you think?
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
Biotin is used in hair loss.
MSM is used orally in arthritis, high cholesterol etc.
Generally, the herbal ingredients should not lose their properties because of presence of MSM and biotin.
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
You can strain using filter paper used for coffee. Use double layer of filter paper.
You can add Bhringaraj.

i tried this procedure and have one query. incase there is a doubt regarding any small amount of moisture can we reheat filtered oil and remove moisture or oil is to be discarded. Will it cause scalp infection if there is small amount of moisturw. Please clarify.
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
Good question and observation. If you have doubt of remnant moisture, you can mildly heat it just for 2 – 3 minutes only. Remember that, while heating after filtration, if the heat is more or if it is heated for long, then it may burn the oil and your entire efforts. Usually moisture leads to ticking sound while heating. But do not wait till all the ticking sound stops. Stop soon after 2- 3 minutes.
Moisture in the oil will cause Kapha increase in skin and may cause itching and other kapha dominant skin conditions like dandruff. Hence not desirable.

Hello Dr J V Hebbar,
Thank you for this video and information. I made amla oil according to your instructions, however, while the oil was cooking the amla paste stuck to the bottom and burned a bit. The rest of the amla paste separated from the oil and I collected the oil and I am using it. Is it alright to use this oil since some of the paste burned? The oil smells a bit smoked but the smell is not bad and once I apply it the smell dissipates since I mix it with essential oils of rosemary and peppermint.
Also, I am also making another hair oil following your instructions, but this time I am including the following herbal powders: amla, Brahmi, fenugreek, henna, indigo, neem and lemon peel. The proportions are: 100 gr each of amla, Brahmi and fenugreek. And 25 grams each for henna, indigo, neem and lemon peel powders. I already made the kashayan and saved it in the fridge. The following day I will make the oil with the kashayan (approximately 1 and a half liters) and I will add 150 grs of all the powders combined. Also I will use 800 ml of coconut oil.
I am mainly using this oil for mild hair fall (my hair falls when I wash it) and for stimulating more hair growth while at the same time trying to keep my gray hair darker.
Is what I am doing alright? Please advice.
Thank you all the way from Chicago!
Gloria
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
Hello Gloria,
1. When you are making the oil, especially when you reach the end stage, you need to stir the contents continuously and heat it in a very medium low fire to avoid sticking of the amla paste to the bottom. (This applies to any Ayurvedic oil that you may try).
If the smell is tolerable, I do not see any problem with it. You can use it.
2. When you prepare the kashayam, in stead of keeping in the refrigerator and adding it to the oil+powder the next day, I would suggest to add the kashayam and the powder to the oil on the same day, when the kashayam is still hot and fresh. Then, boil the mix of kashayam+oil+powder just for 10 minutes. Stop heating, keep a lid on the vessel. The next day, you can start heating the oil till the end.
On the first day, if you boil the oil for 10 minutes, the contents will not get spoilt for the next day. No need to even refrigerate it. This will help you follow two Ayurveda principles in one shot.
Principle A – Never use Kashayam on the next day. Kashayam should be used when it is fresh and hot. (fresh but Cold kashayam is only advised in high Pitta condition, for oral intake).
Principle B – It is said in Ayurveda text books that oils, herbal ghees and avaleha (herbal jams like Chyawanprash) should not be prepared in a single day. Moon light and coldness of light also has its own therapeutic benefits that gets into the product (oil / ghee / avaleha).
Namaste! from Moodbidri, Mangalore, India 🙂

Thank you Dr. Hebbar!
This information is very helpful.
Do you agree that this oil may help me with my mild hair fall and stimulate hair growth and add strength to hair follicle? I have read that these herbs have shown remarkable positive results for these types of hair conditions.
I plan to apply the oil at least 4 times per week for the next several months, until I see improvement of my hair condition. After I get to that point, I plan to apply the oil at least once per week to maintain hair health and vitality.
Is this something you agree with?
Thank you again!
Gloria
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
1. I agree.
2. I agree again. 🙂

And I even read using sesame is a better option for people prone to cold

How much does the making of the oil cost ? And can you use the product directly after when it is done?
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
Hi, to make 20 ounce of oil, it might cost you around 10 – 20 USD. You can use the product soon after it is made.
GK
I have two queries.
1. I have dried amla and would like to make amla oil with that. will directly boiling dried amla in coconut oil is effective or is there any specific method. If kashayam method is the best one can you please explain how to make kashayam with dried amla and then the oil preparation too.
2. How to make hair oil using curry leaves ? which oil is good for treating grey hair curry leaves oil or amla oil? Thanks.
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
1. It is better to make Amla with with Kashayam, as stated in the article.
2. procedure to make oil out of curry leaves is same as the procedure mentioned above. Just replace amla with curry leaves. Amla hair oil will be better for grey hair than of curry leaves.
reshma
Hello sir nice video….I tried yo make oil by directly adding amla powder to oil and then boil it for 10 minutes then I stained it then added little water in it say about a teaspoon bt after stirring it for 5 minutes tht oil started to splutter are there ws a mini blast which spilled the oil all over thank god there ws no injuries can u pls tell me where did I go wrong….my guess is tht I didnt take the long vessel….can u pls mention the size of the vessel where u boil the oil. Thanks
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
Once you add the amla powder oil and water to the vessel, and start boiling do not ads any water or any other thing to it.
The vessel should be bog enough so that contents do not cross half of the capacity of the vessel, ideally.
Once after you start heating, it should be continued till total water content inside the oil completely evaporates. Any remnant water would cause spoiling of the oil.

Sir u r so good. So happy to read.

What causes dandruff? What causes localized thickening of scalp in small patches that result in itching and due to itching, come out along with hair and leave soft skin that often bursts and releases blood? Why does this condition spread to eye brows, corner of lips and around nostrils?

Hi, the condition that you are explaining is quite similar to scalp psoriasis.

Hello Doctor, Can you please suggest some good brand of amla powder which can be used in the amla oil preparation.
RAMIT BAGGA
CAN WE PUT CURRY LEAVES ALSO IN THE KASHAYAM FOR BLACK HAIR ?
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
you can add Castor oil – 250 ml + coconut oil 250 ml in the second stage, in place of 500 ml of coconut oil.
To know about water being completely evaporated, please read and follow “signs to observe” section in the article
Vydia
Thank you Dr! Is this a good oil to use for premature greying of hair? For the purpose of hair fall or greying do you recommend adding castor oil or sticking to your ingredients?
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
Hi, it is a good oil for premature graying as well.
You can add 50 % of castor oil or sesame oil to it, based on your convenience. No problem.
Vydia
In making the kashayam after reducing it from 4liters to 1 liter and the filtering, I didn’t get too much kashayam. Is this to be expected? It took 5-6 hours but the end quantity was smaller than I expected. Is this to be expected? I used coffee filters (double like you advised another commentator).
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
Hi, there will be some judgement errors in deciding when exactly we reach 1 liter (from 4 liters). The Kashaya powders swell up and the bulk increases. Which gives the misconception about 1 liter.
You will have to stop heating when you think there is still 2 liters of water left. Then, upon filtering, you will get at least 1 – 1.3 liters.
While making the amla hair oil, you can still use the super concentrated less quantities of kashaya that you got. No problem.
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
Hi, half part is answered in the last question. Ideally you will have to make kashayam at one go. If you cannot, you can stop heating and resume it BEFORE the Kashayam turns cold. It should be at least 50 – 60 degree celcius.
In all Ayurvedic processes involving boiling (as in Kashayam and Taila (oils) and filtering, soon after the reduction in liquid is achieved, it is best to filter it when it is hot. This will ensure that maximum liquid volume can be extracted. If it is allowed to cool down, then the herb powders will absorb good amount of liquids leading to loss in Kashayam or herbal oil.
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
You can just replace amla with Brahmi to prepare Brahmi oil.
Mansi
great article..!!
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
Hi, you can use amla and curry leaves powder.
Wherever I have mentioned amla powder, just split into to equal halves of amla powder and curry leave powders.
ravi
Hi sir, I prepare 3 tblspoon of bhingaraj powder with 1 cup of oil and heated 5 min.after i unable to filter..can u tell me the solution ? pls or is there any way to do that correctly again…
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
Hi, you can do 2 improvisations.
1. Please note that the bhringaraj powder to oil ratio should be 1:10
2. Minimum quantity of oil to try making oil is around 500 ml.
So, take 500 ml of oil add 50 grams of Bhringaraj powder to it, add 500 ml of water to it Boil till you get the signs that I have explained in the above article (the bringaraj paste stops making noise when put on fire etc.
anil
The time i made the Kashayam (preperationfor 10 oz of amla oil), after boiling for aprox 1,5 hours, I was left with not a liquid amla-water-mix, but a sticky paste of aml; no water whatsover.
Could you clarify up briefly, if it is wrong that way or if I may use it.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
Hi, this problem arises when you make kashayam with fine powder of amla. Consider making another amla kashaya with boiling for just 1 hour and then filter it with cloth.
Or if you do not want to throw the current paste, then add a little more water to it, heat it for 2 minutes and filter. – COnsider this as Kashaya.
ashleigh
hello,
just wondering, cause of the boiling doesnt it loose a lot of vitamins?
thank you. .making it right now!
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
It would lose Vitamin C. But it would retain numerous other phyto-nutrients and anti oxidants.
ashleigh
thanks for the quick response! just one more question; my oil turned out darker.. like a light brown. is that okay or useless oil now?
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
It is okay to use on hair.
Ewa
Great video, very helpful. But I would like to know exactly what basic proportions do you use? I mean proportions herbs-water in decoction, and later proportion of kalka-decoction-oil. I heard that it should be 1 part of herbs, 16 parts of water and 4 parts of oil. Recenty I’ve prepared some hair oil using 25 g amla and bhringarah powder, 4 l of water and amount of decoction after boiling was 1 liter, and mixed it with 250 ml of sesame oil and 62 g of herbal powder. And the mixture was very thick. So what proportions do you use and suggest?
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
Hi, the proportion of 1:4:16 (herb:oil:decoction) is universal.
But in some conditions, it may cause a very thick oil, especially if the herb volume is high.
Hence, you can dilute the proportion to 1:8:16. Some other Ayurveda doctors may differ in opinion.
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
Hi, take charcoal powder – 100 grams. To it, add 5 grams of each of Triphala, turmeric and sandalwood. Add 20 – 40 ml of Triphala ghrita to it to it and make a uniform paste. Sun dry it and you can use it as Kajal. You can add many other herbs, this above one is just an example.

Hi sir,
Your blog gives us so much accurate info on the principles of ayurveda. Thank you for that.
I have a query on the preparation of this hair oil.
Is using a combo of fresh amla fruit and curry leaves better than using the respective powders?
If so, what is the method of using the fresh amla fruits and curry leaves to prepare the oil in the above mentioned way and what would be their proportions?
Thanks,

Amla powder and dried curry leaves powders are better to use for oil preparation than fresh ones.

Does heating the oil directly with the amla paste and kashayam destroy the nutrients in it. Should we use the double boiler method?
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)Author
It does not cause any phyto-nutrient loss from amla. This is the traditional method of herbal oil preparation. Double boiled method is not needed.
