Hair Growth Treatment

Ten drops of Rosemary Essential Oil

Fill up a two ounce jar with Jojoba or Pure Aloe Vera Gel.

Mix these together and put about a ½ teaspoon on scalp and massage in. I leave mine in overnight!  I believe this treatment helped my hair grow in much faster.

Jojoba Lavender/Sandalwood Hair Growth Treatment and Conditioner:

2 ounces of Jojoba Oil
20 drops of Lavender essential oil.
10 drops of Sandalwood essential oil.

Mix the essential oils in a few drops at a time and store in a cool place.  Treat your hair/scalp with this treatment every month.  If you have stopped using conditioners, like I have, you will need this treatment to keep your hair from drying out.  Remember when using these oils, it important to apply shampoo on dry hair, massage in and then add the hot water and this will rinse out the oils.

Scalp Massage:  This massage stimulates 17 Acupuncture Points and Meridians.  By Garri Garripoli Qigong : Essence of the Healing Dance

1. Starting at your front hairline, press all your finger tips in claw-like fashion against your scalp and push them all the way to your back hairline.

2. Lift your fingers off the scalp, return them to your front hairline and repeat thirty-six times.

3. Lift your fingers along the arc of your scalp, just above your ears, from front to back.

Dr. Shealy's Hair & Scalp Tonic

10 teaspoons of Olive Oil
8 drops of Rosemary Essential Oil
7 drops of Cedarwood Essential Oil

Instructions:

Mix the above together and massage into scalp. Wrap hair for two hours in a towel and then wash out. It's important to put the shampoo on the hair before you wet it as this insures that all the oil will come out.

Also, Dr. Shealy recommends drinking Sage Tea for hair growth.

Recipe: Put 1-3 Sage leaves in a cup and pour boiling water on it. Let it sit and then drink.  Sage tea can also be applied to the head directly - Please cool it first!
