Recipe for Boiled Rosemary with Castor Oil

Overview

Rosemary is well known for reducing inflammation, boosting blood flow, and fortifying hair roots. Conversely, castor oil is very nourishing and moisturizing due to its high content of fatty acids and vitamin E. When combined, they provide a potent mixture that can be applied to scalp nourishment, dandruff prevention, and hair growth.
