Overview
Peela Bhangra is one of the herbs traditionally used in Ayurveda for hair loss. Peela Bhangra (Wedelia calendulacea) is described as the yellow-flowered relative of Bhringaraj. The text notes that some scholars identify this as the true Bhringaraj while others consider Eclipta alba as the authentic one. It has similar hair-promoting and rejuvenative properties. The yellow flowers distinguish it from the white-flowered Eclipta alba. Verse ref: page 430.
