VAADI, with over a hundred years of experience in the field of Ayurveda, has specialized the selection and extraction of natural herbs and plants. The plants are carefully selected from the unpolluted areas of the Indian subcontinent and tested extensively before use. The extraction methods are designed to preserve the energy of the plant and to obtain only those ingredients that are useful for a particular action. For example, Vaadi Amla Shikakai with Reetha Shampoo uses “Amla Oil”, which is prepared from dried amla (Amlica Embellicus or Indian Gooseberry) berries that are soaked in coconut oil for several days in order to obtain the oil soluble vitamins from the fruit. Only the seeds and pulp of the amla fruit is used and the oil obtained is further filtered and purified before use. This oil when used in combination with Shikakai (Acacia Concinna) and Reetha (Sapindus Mukurossi) brings forth a rich, natural shine and soft texture to the hair. |
