Holistic Ingredients That Boost Scalp Health
A healthy scalp brings more than just shiny hair; it creates a hospitable environment from the root. There are several herbs and natural ingredients that have been proven to calm inflammation, boost circulation, and encourage stronger hair growth. Feel free to add them to your tonic until you find the blend that works best for you.
Rosemary: One of the top herbs for hair health, rosemary was shown to be useful in treating alopecia. In fact, rosemary was cited as just as effective as over-the-counter medications such as minoxidil. Plus, rosemary has a delightful, grounding scent.
Hell yes, science finally caught up with what my wise grandma told me back in the day.
Studies now prove rosemary works just as well as minoxidil for hair growth—and I’ve been making my own hair growth formula based on exactly what the research says. I put it in a spray bottle so I can apply it directly to my scalp every morning.
My grandmother wasn’t guessing. She knew. And now I have the studies to back up what she taught me decades ago. 
Peppermint: Commonly used for digestive remedies, peppermint is also hailed for its ability to improve hair. One study showed that peppermint essential oil was the most effective, among 4 other agents, at boosting hair growth. Human studies are limited, but the results are promising. Peppermint can also soothe inflamed scalps due to its menthol content.
Saw Palmetto: The fronds of this tree are extracted into a wonderful tincture that has been used to treat patients with alopecia. Those who used saw palmetto saw improvements in hair count and density, and it even stabilized disease progression in some.
Green Tea: For an antioxidant boost, substitute the water in your Rosemary and Clove Hair Tonic for green tea. This tasty beverage contains polyphenols that protect hair from oxidative stress, reducing shedding.
Ginseng: Ginseng extract is a popular ingredient in natural hair products because it can improve circulation and support hormonal hair loss. Studies are still being released, but ginseng shows fabulous potential, especially for those dealing with inflammation in the body.
Aloe Vera: Many know of aloe vera’s ability to soothe skin, but few use it in hair care. Dandruff can leave open sores on the scalp, especially if you nervously pick at your skin. Aloe vera can help heal open wounds and relieve itchiness. Those with sensitive, sore scalps will greatly benefit from adding aloe vera gel to their hair tonic.
Clove: Often overlooked in hair care, clove is a surprising ally for healthy hair. Clove is naturally antimicrobial, purifying the scalp and stimulating it. Because clove is potent, it’s best used in small doses, such as in the recipe given.
Stinging Nettle: Rich in minerals like iron, silica, and sulfur, stinging nettle has been used for centuries to strengthen hair and reduce shedding. The plant’s anti-inflammatory compounds support scalp health while encouraging blood flow to hair follicles.
Here’s something wild about stinging nettle: when it stings you, your skin swells and gets red, right? That’s blood rushing to the area—feeding your hair roots.
The same thing happens when you use stinging nettle in shampoo. The nettle compounds transfer to your scalp, and when you massage it in for a few minutes, you’re stimulating blood flow without the sting.
I personally make my own hair growth shampoo by adding a stinging nettle tincture to it. Just a few drops, massage for 2-3 minutes, and I’m feeding my hair roots the same way my grandmother’s nettle stings did.

Apple Cider Vinegar: This tart ingredient has natural acidity that can balance the scalp’s PH, reducing buildup. Apple cider vinegar is also antimicrobial and can clarify your hair. This is a handy ingredient if you use a lot of hair products, which can affect your overall scalp health. A little goes a long way, and when you pair it with herbs, you don’t notice any off-putting smell.
Speaking of apple cider vinegar—did you know people used to soak their feet in it?
Sounds crazy, but there’s an old folk remedy involving ACV foot soaks that’s been passed down for generations. The results? Honestly surprising.

Aside from using herbs, you can improve scalp health by adopting habits that support circulation. Great options include brushing your hair with a natural-bristle brush, giving yourself a scalp massage, and applying a hair tonic. Do your best to reduce the number of products you use or replace toxic ones with natural alternatives.
Remember that a healthy level of hydration and a nourishing diet can also improve scalp health. Outside stress can wreak havoc on your hair, so do your best to eliminate stressors or use adaptogens to help your body adjust to life’s little bumps.
How to Make a Rosemary and Clove Hair Tonic 
This stimulating scalp tonic helps wake up hair follicles, clarify the scalp, and support thicker hair overall. Plus, the combination of rosemary and clove has a heavenly scent. When used consistently, this remedy will leave your hair long, shiny, and soft. The best part? There are no toxins involved!
Ingredients
- 1½ cups water
- 2 tablespoons dried rosemary or ¼ cup fresh
- 1 teaspoon whole cloves
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Step One: Place the water in a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Add the rosemary and cloves. 
Step Two: Let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes. At this point, the liquid will be darkened and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Add the apple cider vinegar and stir. Strain the herbs, then pour the mixture into a jar, spray bottle, or squeeze bottle. 
How to Use This Remedy
To use this remedy, apply the tonic directly to the scalp, parting your hair to expose it. Massage into the scalp for 1-2 minutes to encourage absorption and stimulate the scalp. You can leave the tonic on all day or rinse it out after 30-60 minutes. 
This gentle Rosemary and Clove Hair Tonic is an excellent option for anyone wanting to improve the health of their hair and scalp. If you have sensitive skin, do a patch test first, and avoid it if you are allergic to cloves.
For best results, use daily or every other day, as it takes consistent use to see maximum results. Many people will notice reduced itchiness and dandruff after a week, and visible improvements in hair health after 2-3 weeks.
Store your remedy in the fridge for 5-7 days, making a week’s batch at a time. For longer storage, you can freeze your tonic in ice cube trays and thaw cubes as needed. This is a great option for those who prefer making their remedies in batches. If your tonic develops an off smell or cloudiness, discard.
