Garudapurana 1.176

The Holy Garuḍa Mahāpurāṇa — 176 / The Blessed Lord said: / Beautiful hair grows within seven nights on a bald person / from an ointment of burnt elephant tusk mixed with goat's milk and rasāñjana.

An oil prepared with one-fourth part juice of bhṛṅgarāja / and combined with the powder of guñjā promotes hair growth.

Mixed with cardamom, jaṭāmāṃsī, kuṣṭha, and murā, it is auspicious when applied as an unguent. / One should take guñjā fruit: its paste destroys alopecia.

From an ointment of mango-seed powder, hairs indeed become fine. / An ointment of karañja, āmalaka, cardamom, and lac dispels aruṃṣikā.

From an ointment of mango seed marrow and āmalaka, hairs indeed / become firm-rooted, dense, long, and glossy, and they do not fall out.

An excellent oil prepared with viḍaṅga, sulphur, / four times the quantity of cow's urine, or realgar,

destroys lice and nits born in the head through application as a head unguent. / Newly burnt conch-shell powder smeared with ground lead;

the hairs become smooth and intensely black, O Bull-bannered One! / Bhṛṅgarāja, iron powder, triphalā, bījapūraka,

indigo, oleander, and molasses, boiled together in equal parts: / this potent medicinal herb turns grey hair black through application as a paste.

Mango seed marrow, triphalā, indigo, bhṛṅgarāja, / aged cooked iron powder, and sour gruel make the hair black.

Having ground cakramarda seeds, kuṣṭha, and castor root / with very sour gruel, application of the paste removes diseases of the head.

Rock salt, vacā, asafoetida, kuṣṭha, and likewise nāgeśvara, / śatapuṣpā, and devadāru—an oil prepared with these,

combined with one-fourth part the juice of cow dung: / by filling the ear with that, it destroys acute earache.

By filling the ears with sheep's urine and rock salt, O Śiva, / foul odour of the ears, worms, discharge, and the like are destroyed.

Likewise, by filling with the juice of mālatī flower petals / and flooding with cow's urine alone, a discharge of pus is destroyed.

Kuṣṭha, black gram, black pepper, tagara, honey, pippalī, / apāmārga, aśvagandhā, bṛhatī, white mustard,

barley, sesame seeds, and rock salt: an auspicious rub using one quarter [part] / causes growth of the penis, arms, breasts, and ears. / Mustard oil, bhallātaka, bṛhatī, pomegranate fruit,

smeared with their boiled barks, the penis grows thereby.

Thus ends the one hundred and seventy-sixth chapter, entitled 'Description of the Growth of Hair and Other Topics', in the Ācārakāṇḍa of the first part in the glorious Garuḍa Mahāpurāṇa.
