Sambrani, powdered neem leaves, coconut oil, mahua oil, rose and sandalwood powders, honey, cow ghee, and other herbs are used to make Sambrani Dhoop, a sort of herbal incense. It purifies the air, serves as a place of worship and meditation, and fosters a calm environment. One little-known fact is that it’s also a fantastic technique to let the hair dry naturally while leaving a lovely, all-natural scent behind.
doing this ceremony are frequently shown in scenes from royal dynasties in Indian history. The use of dhoop under the hair as a beauty routine has also been depicted in historical films like Jodha Akbar. This has enormous advantages as the natural substances guard against scalp infections, prevent the application of direct heat to the hair, and naturally replenish and dry the hair. If burned correctly, dhoop’s smoke and scent promote greater sleep while also easing headaches and migraines.
Women once used to light sambrani and hold a straw basket above it after getting their hair washed. The straw basket’s pores will allow the steam to escape. Our wet hair will quickly dry if we keep it close to the basket, and it will also leave behind a lovely, fragrant scent. Sambrani will prevent headaches even if we wash our hair in the winter, especially if we have long, thick hair. Every so often, I make an effort to adhere to this custom.
