fresh juice of the leaves of this vegetable helps the hair to retain its black colour
and prevents it from premature greying. It also helps the growth of the hair and

Premature Greying of Hair treatment using Curry Leaves
Liberal intake of curry leaves is considered beneficial in preventing premature
greying of hair. These leaves have the property of providing vitality and strength
to hair roots. New hair roots that grow are healthier and contain a normal
pigment. The leaves can be used in the form of chutney, or may be squeezed in
buttermilk. When the leaves are boiled in coconut oil, the oil forms an excellent
hair tonic to stimulate hair growth and bring back hair pigmentation.
Premature Greying of Hair treatment using Ribbed Gourd
Ribbed gourd boiled in coconut oil is also an effective remedy for premature
greying of hair. Pieces of this vegetable should be dried in the shade. These
dried pieces should be soaked in coconut oil and kept aside for three or four
days. The oil should then be boiled till the solid is reduced to a blackened
residue. This oil should be massaged into the scalp. It will help enrich the hair
roots and restore pigment to the hair.
Premature Greying of Hair treatment using Butter
The butter made from cow's milk has the property of preventing premature
greying of hair. A small roll may be taken internally and a little quantity may be
massaged into the hair roots twice a week.
Premature Greying of Hair treatment using Vitamins
The vitamins considered useful in guarding against premature greying of hair are
pantothenic acid, para-aminobenzoic acid (paba), inositol. The minimum daily
requirement of these vitamins appears to be 10 mg of pantothenic acid, 100 mg
of para-aminobenzoic acid, and 2 gm of inositol. To obtain satisfactory results, all
three of these vitamins belonging to the B group should be supplied at one time,
preferably in a form which supplies all the B vitamins, such as yeast and liver.
The three anti-greying-hair vitamins can also be produced in the intestinal tract
by bacteria. Thus, taking a sufficient quantity of yoghurt daily and a tablespoonful
of yeast before each meal is an excellent remedy for the prevention and
treatment of premature greying of hair. If one wishes to take tablets of calcium
pantothenate and para-aminobenzoic acid (paba), they should be taken in
addition to the yeast and yoghurt, and not as a substitute for them.
