Herbal Hair Tonic: Make a herbal hair tonic to promote the health the of the hairs. Write the herbs used in the tonic. Explain how the tonic will help for the hair health. Write the step by step process of making hair tonic. (3 Marks)
Yes, there are many herbs that are great for making our hair healthy and thick. I usually don’t use commercial products or serums on my hair instead justt I prefer using natural herbs becuse thy have minimal side effects and provide great benefits. One of the best hair tonics I’ve made is rosemary water.
I first saw a video about it on YouTube about a yer ago, and since then, I started seeing more videos on the topic. Rosemary water is very good for hair health, but I couldn’t find it anywhere at first. I didn’t know where to get rosemary leaves. Then, I went to the market and bought rosemary leaves.
Here’s how I made the hair tonic:
Ingredients:
1 glass of water
½ teaspoon of dried rosemary leaves
• First, I took a glass of water and added half a teaspoon of dried rosemary leaves that I bought from the market.

• I then put the mixture in a pan and started heating it. I let it simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes.
• I didn’t cook it for more than 10 minutes, just until it released its color and was fully boiled.

• Once it was done, I let it cool down and then transferred it into a bottle.
• After it was at room temperature, I used it on my hair. Since I didn’t have a spray bottle at home, I poured it into my hands and applied it to the roots of my hair, massaging gently.
• I left it overnight and washed my hair in the morning.
I noticed the benefits almost immediately after using it just once. My hair started to feel softer and smoother, and I could see new small hairs growing. It also added shine to my hair and made it look healthier overall.
Skin Care Mask: Prepare a mask for the skin purely made with the herbs and use at least 3 herbs to prepare a mask. Write down the procedure and explain how it helps for the skin care. (3 Marks)
Yes, I use a skin care mask that I would like to share with you. This mask is very easy to make, and all the ingredients are available at home. It has no side effects on the skin, and I have been using it for a lng time about two to three times a week. It is also very simple to make, and I always try to apply it two to three times a week.
Ingredients:
Turmeric: A pinch
Honey: 1 tablespoon
Milk: 1 tablespoon
Rose Water: A few drops

I take a plate and add a pinch of turmeric, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of milk, and a few drops of rose water to it.
I stir the ingredients together until I get a smooth mixture.
Before applying it to my face, I test it on my hands to make sure it’s safe for my skin. Then, I evenly apply the mixture to my face.
 |  |

I gently massage my face with the mask to ensure it is well absorbed.
I leave the mask on my face for about 15-20 minutes or until it dries completely.
: I rinse my face with water and wash it thoroughly.

I used this mask applying it two to three times a week. I followed the same procedure every time, and over those days, I thn noticed my skin improving. My skin felt softer and smoother, and the dryness I had before was gone.
So ya this mask is very beneficial for our skin. Turmeric helps to reduce skin inflammation and improves skin tone. Honey is a natural moisturizer that helps keep the skin soft and hydrated. Milk acts as a gentle exfoliant and brightens the skin, while rose water helps to balance and tone the skin.
After using this mask, I noticed my skin was no longer dry it felt smooth and soft. It helps to remove dryness and leaves the skin feeling refreshed and healthy.

I add the salt, baking soda, and lemon juice to warm bath water. I mix it well to make sure everything is dissolved and evenly spread in the water.
I sit in the bath for 15-20 minutes, allowing my body to soak and the ingredients to work their magic.. After 15-20 minutes, I get out of the bath and feel my skin softer and more refreshed.
So this bath soak is simple, effective, and perfect for a self care day, helps to improve my skin health and promote a sense of well being.
