Indian yoga 'fingernail' treatment for MPB....(?!)

[slaphead]

OK...it DOES sound bizarre :wink: - but an Indian pal of mine stated that he saw a guy on Indian TV (some Yoga Guru guy) who apparently grew a full(!) head of hair through some yoga treatment that involves rubbing the fingernails together to increase blood supply to scalp via (?) chakra points etc....

Obviously, let's say I'm not really 'convinced(!)' - and could find virtually nothing about this on the 'net - and am pretty sure that if it did work that it would spread round the world like wildfire!!

Anyone else hear about this(?)

Its all crap dude...dont believe in such $#iT..

Somehow I thought that would be anyone who read this's point of view! :lol: I thought I'd 'heard them all', until I heard about this 'treatment'.....(and I once heard someone swearing that if you get a dairy cow to lick your scalp that this also regows all of your hair....! :lol: :lol: :lol: )

Still - makes this hairloss lark partially more 'amusing'! :lol:

i'd categorise this under can't hurt, might help. acunpunctures effectiveness has been proved in clinical trials so anything that stimulates certain points in the body should be viewed with a slightly open mind at least. oh and this exact method has been brought up before on this board, ages ago by some CoachRandy guy or some name like that.

I recall reading about this on hairloss forums before also. Do you remember the exact specifics? How long you should rub your figernails togethor, how many times a day, etc? just curious...

Hi Packers,

Sorry - don't know the details. Did a web-search for this, but no luck with any detail. Also, I did go a tad 'OTT' about this 'technique' with my opinion: There may well be something in it - though I personally doubt it, I may be wrong - you never know!

imagine if we could regrow our hair by just rubbing our dick =.=

[yepes]

there are a couple of ppl experimenting with this technique on a forum I use to follow, it's in italian though. someone clamis it's kind of effective, the act itself of rubbing the nails for minutes it's very annoying to me.

I have heard of that technique before, its called balaiyam or something.

There is a video and a website.
