In India, it is extensively used to craft natural oils that nourish and strengthen black hair. The plant's fresh leaf juice aids in digestion, appetite control, and mild regulation of bowel movements. Traditional practices attribute Eclipta alba with the ability to strengthen hair, darken it, and stimulate growth. Some believe that its external application and internal consumption can gradually restore black hair. Rich in bioactive compounds such as coumestans, alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, and triterpenoids, the leaves boast of unique constituents like stigmasterol, wedelolactone, demethyledelolactone, and demethylwedelolactone-7-glucoside.
