Navratna Oil - It's just amazing oil. Folks who know me may see it as a contradicting statement from me with the fact that I hate applying oil to my head. But then, I am hooked to this oil.
HOW ?
Long back, whenever I go to barbor shop, I ask for a hair massage. This guy is too good in massaging with his fingers. In the middle itself, I will fall asleep and then it is up to him to play with my head.

During one of those massages, he asked me whether I wanted a oil massage. With a sleepy note, I said go ahead. He picked something and poured little in the center of my head.
Suddenly I felt so chill and all my sleep is gone.. I asked the guy to shut off the AC and enquired when did he buy a AC machine. He smiled and said ''Saaaar, hum log AC machine se kya karenge, din roj ka khane ka paisa mila tho hum khush hain !'' and started massaging my hair.
I didn't understand where I felt the chill from but my head is getting cooler and it's passed to the body. Slowly I realised that it was due to the oil on my head. Immediately I asked him what is that oil ? He replied that it is called ''navratna oil''. I checked with him whether it is the brand name for the coconut oil he is carrying. He started laughing and I was amused on what's so funny about it.
Then he said ''saaar, this is a different one'' and asked me whether I have seen ad done by Govinda & Rambha for a oil with a loud caption ''Chandra mukhi..........''. I said, I heard some thing where he screams on the top of his voice ''chandramukhi.........'' but never bothered more. He said it is the same oil and with the same feeling I had, Govinda starts screaming..
Now, it's my turn to start laughing.
Well, I did enjoy the feeling of Navratna oil on my head and That's how my liking for Navratna oil started...
Next time, when I went to a foodworld, I checked for this oil and bought one for me. My mom was checking on the list of items and shouted at me that why I took somebody else item at the cash counter.
She can't imagine me (knowing me well) even in thoughts, buying an oil. There were times, she tried applying oil to my head in the middle of night while I was asleep. Next moment, I get into bathroom and do shampoo and sleep.
I checked on the item and replied that I have bought it. She came nearer and checked my temperature & asked whether I am OK or not ?????

even now slowly she is still trying absorbing the fact of me using and applying oil on my head.
whenever I apply this oil, I always feel that my head is like weightless and so cool. The coolness will be there atleast for 2-3 hours and I just love it.
Later my mom told me that this oil has naturals like gulab phool (Rose petals), pudina phool, pudine ka oil, Kasturi, amla, karpoor, brahmi et all which all are good for hair & hair growth. She said some more names which I dont remember as they sounded like tongue twisters to me. I said ''GOOD'' and I dont care the rest as I just love the coolness on my head and rest all are incidental for me.
Recently a friend of mine gave a lecture on advantages of this oil:
Prevents premature hair fall - can't comment as yet
Keeps the head cool - I agree
Relieves headache - better, if it can relieve people who gives you headache;
tones up body muscles - Never applied as I dont get into oil massages;
Removes tired ness - yes, I always felt so
memory aid - could be, I still remember its name on a saturday/sunday
Over time, I felt that my rough hair getting smoother and softy too. For the complete day, I feel lighter and energetic. May be it reduces the stress accumulated over the past week from work.
Now whenever I get a chance on a saturday/ sunday, I apply this oil and enjoy the holiday.
As a matter of fact, I just applied the oil and writing this review, relaxing thy self!
