What do you call indian oils?

Minoxidil completely safe you say???

When someone is asking for home remedies i dont understand why some people suggest a pharmaceutical solution with heaps of side effects

My wife uses castor oil for her eyelashes sometimes and when she does on a long period of time her lashes grow longer.
She mixes it with some kohl powder or just as a mascara application daily
Not sure if it will work for serious hairloss issues though
