The "Bhuriphena" of Ayurveda – Nature’s Own Foaming Cleanser
Say goodbye to the myth that natural shampoos don't lather. In the ancient Bhavaprakasha Nighantu, Shikakai is celebrated as 'Bhuriphena'—meaning "The One with Abundant Foam".
Allkarts brings you this authentic, plant-based power. Rich in natural saponins, our Natural Shikakai Shampoo creates a creamy, luxurious lather that cleanses deep without stripping away your scalp's natural oils. It is the perfect balance of ancient purity (Vimala) and modern hair care science.
Key Benefits
-
Deep Cleansing (Vimala): True to its Sanskrit description as Vimala ("The Pure One"), this shampoo effectively cuts through grease, grime, and pollutant buildup, leaving your hair feeling weightless and spotlessly clean.
-
Dandruff Control (Charmakasha): The text identifies this herb as Charmakasha ("Skin/Scalp Clearer"). It acts as a gentle natural exfoliator, lifting away dandruff flakes and clearing blocked follicles to maintain a healthy scalp environment.
-
Cooling Scalp Therapy (Sheetala): Unlike harsh chemical detergents that burn or irritate, Shikakai is Sheetala (Cooling) in nature. It soothes itchiness, calms inflammation (Pitta), and leaves your head feeling fresh and relaxed.
-
Supports Hair Volume: Drawing from the text's promise of Kesh Vriddhi (Hair Growth), this nutrient-rich formula revitalizes dormant roots and strengthens the hair shaft, helping to reduce breakage and boost overall volume.
