Bhringraj / False Daisy (Eclipta prostrata)

Bhringraj — scientific infographic poster

Bhringraj is a small weed of wet ditches and rice-paddy edges that is widely sold as a hair oil. The short version of the evidence is that no adequate human trial of the plant on its own has shown that it grows hair. The hair-growth claims rest on studies in rats and mice, and those studies are real, but a rodent's back skin is not a human scalp with androgenetic alopecia.

The plant has a long place in two separate medical traditions — Ayurveda uses it for hair and the liver, and Chinese medicine uses the same species for bleeding and for what it calls liver and kidney deficiency. Its marker compound, wedelolactone, has well-described biochemistry in cell and enzyme studies. Human testing is very thin: one small placebo-controlled pilot on blood pressure, and one trial of a multi-herb hair oil. This page describes the plant, what its chemistry has been shown to do, and where the evidence stops.

Overview

Eclipta prostrata is a low, sprawling annual or short-lived perennial in the daisy family (Asteraceae), with opposite lance-shaped leaves and small white flower heads — a tiny daisy, which is where the English name false daisy comes from.

It grows where the ground stays wet: paddy-field bunds, irrigation ditches, riverbanks and the muddy margins of ponds. It is now found across warm regions of Asia, Africa and the Americas, and in many of those places it is regarded as a weed. A 2019 review describes its traditional use in Asia and South America (Feng 2019).

The part used is the whole aerial plant — stems, leaves and flower heads — either fresh (juiced) or dried. In Ayurveda both the fresh juice (svarasa) and the dried powder are used, and the herb is also cooked into a base oil such as sesame or coconut oil to make the classical hair oil.

The most distinctive thing about the plant is its sap, which darkens to blue-black when the plant is crushed. Several of its regional names refer to this: the Chinese name means "ink drought-lotus" and one Vietnamese name means "ink grass". The darkening sap is commonly linked to the plant's reputation for darkening greying hair.

Names and Identification

Binomial: Eclipta prostrata (L.) L.
Family: Asteraceae (Compositae), tribe Heliantheae.
Principal synonym: Eclipta alba (L.) Hassk.

The two names refer to the same species, and botanical databases differ on which one they treat as accepted: the GBIF taxonomic backbone lists Eclipta alba (L.) Hassk. as accepted, with Eclipta erecta L. among its synonyms, while much of the recent pharmacology literature uses E. prostrata (Feng 2019). The Indian pharmacology literature mostly uses E. alba. A literature search on only one of the two names misses a large part of the research.

Regional names

One name, more than one plant: Eclipta and Wedelia ("yellow bhringraj")

A 1991 review of the nomenclature found that Indian medical literature applies the names bhringaraja and karisalankanni to more than one plant, and concluded that the names belong only to Eclipta prostrata (Balu & Rao 1991). The plant most often involved in the confusion is Wedelia calendulacea (now also placed as Sphagneticola calendulacea), a yellow-flowered creeping Asteraceae of wet ground, which is why it is sometimes called "yellow bhringraj":

The two are not the same plant, although both contain coumestans: a 1986 paper described coumestans as the main active principles of both "liver drugs", Eclipta alba and Wedelia calendulacea (Wagner 1986). The compound wedelolactone is in fact named after Wedelia. A product name such as "bhringraj" therefore does not by itself establish which species it contains; only the binomial does.

The Evidence Picture: What Is Actually Known

Most writing about bhringraj leads with the traditional claims and puts the evidence last. In brief:

An evidence grid for bhringraj with six claims as rows and three kinds of study as columns: cell and enzyme work, animal studies, and human trials. The cell and animal columns are mostly filled, while the human column is empty for liver protection, anti-inflammatory action, snake venom and oestrogen activity, holds only a multi-herb oil trial for hair, and holds one small pilot in 60 men for blood pressure. BHRINGRAJ: WHERE THE EVIDENCE COMES FROM filled dot = studies found · open ring = nothing found · years are the papers on this page CELLS / ENZYMES ANIMALS HUMAN TRIALS Hair growth Liver injury Anti-inflammatory (wedelolactone) Snake venom Oestrogen receptor Blood pressure dermal papilla cells, 2019 rats 2008 mice 2009–2019 multi-herb oil only, 2026 — CCl4 injury, rats and mice none found IKK and 5-lipoxygenase mouse liver, 2016 none found venom PLA2 blocked, 1994 mice, venom premixed, 1989 none found agonist in cancer cells, 2015 — none found — — pilot, 60 men 2007 READING THE GRID the chemistry is real wedelolactone acts on IKK, 5-lipoxygenase and venom PLA2 animals are not people hair, liver and venom results come from rats and mice no single-herb hair trial the one randomised hair trial tested a multi-herb oil one small human pilot blood pressure, 60 men, 60 days, placebo-controlled interesting chemistry, very little human testing CCl4 = carbon tetrachloride, a liver toxin used to injure the liver in animal models · PLA2 = phospholipase A2

So the summary is: an interesting molecule, plausible mechanisms, a large traditional following, and very little human testing.

Traditional Use in Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine

Two large medical traditions adopted the same weed and built different theories around it.

Ayurveda: a hair and liver herb

In Ayurveda bhringaraja is classed as keshya — a hair-benefiting drug — and as a rasayana, a rejuvenative. The most familiar preparation is bhringraj taila, a medicated oil made by cooking the fresh plant juice (or a decoction and paste of the herb) in sesame or coconut oil until the water has evaporated. The oil is massaged into the scalp and later washed out.

Bhringaraja is also a traditional liver herb. A 1986 paper described Eclipta alba and Wedelia calendulacea as "liver drugs" (Wagner 1986), and a 2016 study opens by noting that Eclipta has been used for liver disease for centuries (Lu 2016).

Chinese medicine: a yin tonic and a haemostatic

Under the name mo han lian (墨旱蓮), the same aerial parts are used in Chinese medicine for a different set of indications. It is classified as a herb that nourishes liver and kidney yin and that cools the blood and stops bleeding. A 2019 review lists its traditional uses as bleeding disorders (coughing or vomiting blood, blood in the urine, nosebleeds and uterine bleeding), skin diseases, hair loss, vitiligo, snakebite, and conditions attributed to deficiency of the liver and kidney (Feng 2019).

Its best-known appearance is in Er Zhi Wan (二至丸, "Two Solstices Pill"), a classical two-herb formula pairing mo han lian with nü zhen zi (the fruit of Ligustrum lucidum), used in Chinese medicine for menopausal complaints (Xu 2012).

The two traditions converge on a couple of points — both associate the plant with hair and with the liver — but the reasoning is different, and the convergence is a curiosity rather than corroboration. Traditional use records what people did; it does not show whether it worked.

Active Compounds

Coumestans: wedelolactone and demethylwedelolactone

Wedelolactone is the marker compound of Eclipta and the best-studied molecule in it. Chemically it is a coumestan — a fused coumarin-benzofuran ring system. Its close relative demethylwedelolactone occurs alongside it; in a rat and mouse study, a fraction with these two coumestans as its major components, plus apigenin and luteolin, was the most active liver-protective fraction of the leaf extract (Singh 2001).

What wedelolactone does in cell-free and cell-culture systems:

Triterpene saponins

Ecliptasaponins and eclalbasaponins are oleanane-type triterpene glycosides. A 2019 review lists triterpenes, flavonoids, thiophenes, coumestans and steroids as the plant's main chemical classes, with coumestans the most commonly reported (Feng 2019).

Flavonoids and sterols

Luteolin and apigenin are among the flavonoids reported (Singh 2001). The sterols stigmasterol and β-sitosterol were isolated from the plant in the Brazilian venom work (Mors 1989).

Thiophenes

Like many Asteraceae, Eclipta contains thiophenes: a 2015 study isolated five terthiophenes from the plant, including α-terthienylmethanol, which was cytotoxic to endometrial cancer cells in culture (Lee 2015). The parent compound α-terthienyl is a photosensitiser: when activated by light it damaged human cells in culture (Huang 2010). Whether this matters at the concentrations in a diluted hair oil is unknown.

Hair and Scalp: The Central Claim

This is the reason most people look the plant up, so the studies are set out in detail.

What the rodent studies showed

The proposed mechanism — a shift of follicles from the resting telogen phase into anagen — is the same phase the rat and mouse models measure, and it is biologically coherent.

Why animal results do not settle it

These models use animals whose back-skin follicles are brought into the same phase together, by preselecting them in telogen or by depilation (Datta 2009; Lee 2019). Human scalp follicles cycle independently, and the most common form of hair loss — androgenetic alopecia — is driven by androgen-mediated miniaturisation of the follicle, which these regrowth models do not reproduce. A result in these models therefore does not show an effect on human hair loss.

What human data exists

One randomised, double-blind trial was found (Patel 2026). It enrolled 78 people aged 18–55 with androgenetic alopecia, hair fall and greying, and compared a classical multi-herb Ayurvedic oil (Neeli Bhringadi taila) alone, the oil with 5% minoxidil, and 5% minoxidil alone for 120 days; 75 completed (25 per arm). The abstract reports improvements from baseline in all three groups. There was no placebo arm, the oil contains several herbs, and the abstract reports within-group changes from baseline, so the trial cannot show what Eclipta itself contributes. No trial of Eclipta prostrata as a single agent for hair growth was found.

What the carrier oil and the pigment are known to do

Liver: Traditional Use and Animal Studies

Both traditions use the plant for liver complaints, and this is the second-largest body of preclinical research on it.

The proposed mechanism runs through NF-κB. In mice with carbon tetrachloride liver injury, wedelolactone lowered serum ALT and AST, improved liver histology, increased the antioxidant enzymes SOD and GSH-Px, lowered TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6, and reduced movement of NF-κB p65 into the nucleus (Lu 2016).

The evidence is from rats and mice. A 1978 study reported a protective effect of Eclipta alba against carbon tetrachloride-induced acute liver damage (Ma-Ma 1978; no abstract is indexed), a 1993 rat study found protection at the level of liver enzymes (Saxena 1993), and a coumestan-rich fraction of the leaf extract was the most protective fraction in rats and mice, with a high safety margin in acute toxicity tests (Singh 2001). These studies come from groups in India and China as well as the 1978 report, but all are animal studies.

No human trial was found. A PubMed search found no randomised controlled trial of Eclipta prostrata for any liver condition — hepatitis, fatty liver disease or drug-induced liver injury. The animal findings therefore do not show whether the plant helps any human liver disease, and liver disease is often silent until it is advanced.

Liver injury reports. The NIH's LiverTox database has no entry for Eclipta (NCBI Bookshelf search, October 2026). One published case describes severe liver injury in a 64-year-old woman who had taken several Ayurvedic products for 9 months; on a structured causality scale the main suspect was a Psoralea corylifolia product, and a tablet containing Eclipta alba or Bacopa monnieri scored lower, among other possible contributors (Teschke 2009).

Bleeding, Blood, and the Yin-Tonic Role

The Chinese use of mo han lian to "cool blood and stop bleeding" is one of the less studied parts of the traditional profile.

Coumestans are structurally related to coumarins, and the coumarin skeleton is the parent structure of warfarin. But the relationship is not what most people assume. Simple coumarin itself is not an anticoagulant; anticoagulant activity requires the 4-hydroxycoumarin structure found in dicoumarol and warfarin, and wedelolactone does not have it.

The one animal study found on bleeding points towards a haemostatic (bleeding-stopping) effect. In rabbits, the higher doses of an ethanolic leaf extract (600 and 800 mg/kg) shortened bleeding time and clotting time, and reduced the prolongation of bleeding time caused by aspirin and of clotting time caused by heparin; prothrombin time, APTT and platelet count did not change (Mahar 2014). No human study of Eclipta with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs was found, so whether it interacts with them in people is unknown.

Wedelolactone and Snake Venom

This is the most striking result in the Eclipta literature and also the one most easily misread.

Eclipta prostrata has a folk reputation against snakebite (Feng 2019), and researchers at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro investigated why. An ethanolic extract neutralised the lethal effect of South American rattlesnake venom in mice when the two were mixed before injection, and wedelolactone, sitosterol and stigmasterol isolated from the plant each neutralised three lethal doses (Mors 1989). Later work showed that the extract and wedelolactone blocked muscle damage and haemorrhage caused by several pit-viper venoms and their myotoxins, and inhibited venom phospholipase A2 and protease activity (Melo 1994). Wedelolactone also reduced muscle damage in mice caused by two North American pit-viper venoms and their phospholipase A2 myotoxins (Melo & Ownby 1999). A 2000 review surveys this work alongside other plant compounds tested against snake venoms (Mors 2000).

That is a real piece of natural-product pharmacology, and it is a clue about a molecule. It is also limited in specific ways:

The WHO estimates that around 81,410 to 137,880 people die each year from snakebite, with agricultural workers and children most affected, and the burden concentrated in Africa, Asia and Latin America — which includes much of the range where this plant grows and is used.

Culinary Use

Eclipta prostrata is not a common food plant, and this check found no study of it as a food. Long traditional use of the herb is weak reassurance about acute toxicity; an acute toxicity test in rodents reported a high safety margin for a leaf-extract fraction (Singh 2001). Neither says anything about the safety of concentrated extracts taken daily for months.

Forms and Preparations

What labels may or may not state

Doses Reported in Traditional Use and Trials

There is no established therapeutic dose, because there are no dose-finding human trials. Traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese sources give their own customary amounts for the juice, the powder and the decoction; those figures come from practice, not from pharmacokinetic studies, and they were not verified for this page.

Cautions and Contraindications

Overall risk profile: there is no formal toxicology programme behind this plant. Acute toxicity testing in rodents reported a high safety margin (Singh 2001), but that is not a long-term safety study, and the only placebo-controlled human study lasted 60 days (Rangineni 2007). Decisions about medicines and supplements belong with a clinician.

Snakebite

Snakebite is a medical emergency, and the WHO describes high-quality antivenom as the most effective treatment. The wedelolactone research is laboratory and animal work, mostly with plant material and venom mixed before injection. No study has tested the plant as a treatment after a bite in people.

Bleeding, surgery and anticoagulants

The traditional use is to stop bleeding, and the one animal study found that an extract shortened bleeding and clotting times in rabbits, including when those times had been prolonged by aspirin or heparin (Mahar 2014). No human interaction study was found. The research therefore raises an open question for people taking warfarin, a direct oral anticoagulant, clopidogrel or daily aspirin, and for people approaching surgery; commonly cited pre-surgical guidance for herbal products is to stop them about two weeks beforehand.

Hormone-sensitive conditions

Wedelolactone acted as an oestrogen-receptor agonist and stimulated the growth of oestrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer cells in culture (Nehybova 2015). No human data were found. The research raises a concern for people with oestrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer, endometrial cancer, endometriosis or uterine fibroids, for whom concentrated oral extracts are an unknown.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

No safety data in pregnancy or breastfeeding were found, and the oestrogen-receptor finding above is unresolved. There is no data on transfer into breast milk.

Allergy — it is an Asteraceae plant

The daisy family is a well-known source of contact allergens, and scalp oils are applied repeatedly over long periods, the exposure pattern that can produce contact sensitisation. Specific evidence on Eclipta is limited: in a 1986 patch-test study of 46 patients with suspected airborne contact dermatitis in Varanasi, India, an Eclipta alba antigen was among the plant antigens tested and produced no reactions (Singh 1986).

Sun exposure after topical use

The plant contains terthiophenes (Lee 2015), and the related compound α-terthienyl is phototoxic to human cells in culture when exposed to light (Huang 2010). Whether this is clinically relevant at the concentrations in a diluted hair oil is unknown; no human report was found.

Staining

Not a medical risk, but real: the plant stains towels, pillowcases and light-coloured hair.

Heavy metals in Ayurvedic products

This is a documented problem and it is not specific to bhringraj. In a 2004 JAMA study, 14 of 70 Ayurvedic herbal medicine products (20%) made in South Asia and bought in Boston-area stores contained lead, mercury and/or arsenic, and each of the 14, taken as the manufacturer recommended, could give heavy-metal intakes above published regulatory standards (Saper 2004). In a 2008 JAMA study of 193 Ayurvedic medicines bought online, 20.7% contained detectable lead, mercury or arsenic — 21.7% of US-made and 19.5% of Indian-made products. Metals were more common in rasa shastra medicines, which deliberately combine herbs with metals and minerals (40.6% vs 17.1%); 75% of the metal-containing products claimed Good Manufacturing Practices, and all of them exceeded one or more standards for acceptable daily intake (Saper 2008).

Liver disease

The liver-protection data are from rats and mice, and no human trial was found. For people with an existing liver condition the research gives no evidence of benefit, and liver disease is often silent until it is advanced.
