Plum Hair & Scalp Tonic 16.9 fl oz (500 ml)

Natural Care for the Scalp, Roots, and Hair

Plum Hair & Scalp Tonic is a traditional alkaline preparation made from water and plum bark ash, following a formula inspired by St. Hildegard of Bingen. In her writings, the plum tree was valued for cleansing and caring for the scalp, the living ground from which beautiful hair begins.

“Also make ashes from the bark and leaves of this tree. From these ashes make lye, and if your head is either pockmarked or withered, wash it often with this lye. Your head will be cured, and will be beautiful, will produce much beautiful hair.”
More information: "Physica" by St. Hildegard of Bingen translated by Priscilla Throop

Light, alcohol-free, and elemental in composition, the tonic refreshes the scalp, helps lift excess oil and visible flaking, and supports the appearance of healthy, abundant hair.

There is nothing unnecessary here. Only water, plum bark ash, and an old understanding that care begins at the root.

Care Begins at the Root

The condition of the scalp shapes everything that follows.

Plum bark ash has long been used in the Hildegardian tradition to care for oily, flaky, and unbalanced scalps. Its alkaline nature leaves the roots feeling clean, fresh, and restored.

With consistent use, the tonic supports a well-cared-for scalp and the appearance of fuller, stronger, and healthier-looking hair. It is especially suited to a thoughtful scalp-care ritual during times when the hair feels fragile, thin, or changed.

Hormonal shifts, chemotherapy, medications, illness, stress, and nutritional deficiencies can all affect the hair and scalp. This tonic is intended to help prevent hair loss. 

Ingredients:
Aqua, Prunus domestica
Water, plum bark ash

The Eight-Week Ritual
Adapted from the traditional formula of St. Hildegard of Bingen

Week 1
Combine 20 ml of tonic with 60 ml of water, using a ration of one part tonic and three parts water. Massage thoroughly into the scalp each day. Do not rinse. Blow-dry the hair after application.

Week 2
Dilute one part tonic with two parts water. Apply three times during the week and massage throughly into the scalp. Do not rinse.

Weeks 3 and 4
Dilute equal parts tonic and water. Apply twice per week and massage thoroughly into the scalp and roots. Do not rinse. 

Weeks 5 Through 8
Apply the tonic undiluted once per week. Massage gently into the scalp and allow it to remain on the roots. Do not rinse. 

Throughout the eight-week ritual, wash the hair with a mild shampoo. Consistency is part of the practice, and visible improvements in the appearance and feel of the scalp and hair may take time.

For external use only.
Avoid contact with the eyes. In case of contact, rinse immediately and thoroughly with clean water. 
Do not apply to broken, inflamed, or severely irritated skin.

Keep out of reach of children.

Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place.
