Abrus precatorius, known commonly as Indian licorice, is a slender, perennial climber that twines around trees, shrubs, and hedges. It is a legume with long, pinnate-leafleted leaves. The plant is also used in Ayurveda. The oil made from the Crab's Eye seed is highly used in Ayurveda because it is said to promote/stimulate hair growth. It is sometimes used as an ingredient in Indian hair products (Jesse, 2008)
