Eclipta prostrata, also called bhringraj or false daisy, has a long history in Ayurvedic medicine. People take it to encourage healthy hair growth and support scalp health. It is available in powder, capsule, and liquid extract forms. Some also use it for liver support or as a general tonic, but these uses lack strong evidence.
Pregnant or nursing women should avoid this herb because it may stimulate the uterus. It can also lower blood sugar, so people on diabetes medication need to be careful.
