We are talking more and more about arugula and its beneficial effects for the hair, and for the body in general. However, there is still a lot to say about this extraordinary plant, about which we do not know everything! Madam President zooms in on the benefits of arugula on hair, to find out how to make it an essential part of your hair routine!
What is arugula ?
Very often, we place arugula in the large family of salads (you know, the one that helps you lose weight when it replaces good little cream dishes or cakes rich in butter...!!!). However, arugula is much closer to radish or turnip tops. Moreover, it retains the “mustard” or even peppery taste!
Very famous in Antiquity for being an aphrodisiac (monks were forbidden to eat it!), arugula can reach a height of 50 cm if it is cultivated correctly in well-drained soil (we want the same growth for our hair) : it contains a lot of mineral salts and trace elements useful for the proper functioning of the body, and in particular for shiny hair!
Thus, food supplements with arugula extract provide your hair with the best of the plant.
But that's not all ! It’s also a slimming plant! Yes, because it is considered a diuretic, that is to say it promotes the elimination of excess water in your body! What more ?

First tip to enjoy the benefits of arugula on your hair: arugula oil! Rich in nutrients, it will sublimate them in no time! It's simple !
- Apply your arugula oil, macerate or treatment based on arugula extract, and massage gently. Be careful, your fingers are not claws, do not attack your scalp. Really, very sweet! A delicate massage will also promote blood circulation and strengthen the anchoring of the hair bulb.
- Don't forget: we apply from the roots to the ends, without forgetting the scalp (in this case, no more than an hour's break to avoid suffocating the latter).
- Leave on for 30 minutes to 1 hour. You can cover your hair with a clean cloth or a heating cap for example, to retain the heat and benefit from all the benefits.
- Finally, wash your hair normally with a mild shampoo!
The benefits of arugula on the body
No, the benefits of arugula cannot be applied to your hair! It is also very good for the functioning of the body. Thus, it strengthens the immune system, which will prevent you from accumulating repeated infections. It can also limit cholesterol levels: we see no reason to deprive ourselves of it!
In addition, the polyunsaturated fatty acids it contains help the heart stay healthy. Very nice too, let’s admit it! Many users also report very interesting effects in the treatment of rheumatic and joint pain.
If you suffer from anemia, or recurring ENT problems (nose, throat, sinuses or lungs), eat a lot of arugula! Its expectorant action will allow you to make coughs and bronchitis disappear!
Finally, we could not ignore the fact that it is particularly recommended during pregnancy. The vitamin B9 it contains is in fact known for its protective role on the fetus.
Please note , a little reminder: arugula oil, more precisely the oily macerate, should not be ingested but only used for external care.
