Benefits Of Rubbing Your Nails Together; Read Here

Have you ever rubbed your nails with the thought that it would comb your hair? Rubbing nails together is a traditional technique believed to restore hair growth. The primary purpose of rubbing nails together is just to promote and improve hair health. Is there any scientific proof for this practice? Let's explore this with Dr. Jushya Bhatia Sarin.

Dr. Jushya Bhatia Sarin who is a famous Dermatologist and well-known content creator shares her verity behind rubbing nails together. According to her, this ancient yogic practice is also called ‘Balayam'. Where ‘Bal' means 'hair' and ‘Vyayam' means 'exercise'. Which means exercising for hair growth.

Before proceeding with this practice, understand one thing this practice lacks scientific evidence and does not have enough studies to prove its claim. But the practice has been preserved through generations, with advocates promoting its benefits.

This practice lacks scientific support but according to Jushya Bhatia, there are two theories on how this practice works.

1. It stimulates the nerves in the nail bed and stimulates the blood supply in your hair and this leads to more nutrients. Improved blood circulation can also contribute to healthier hair that promotes better growth and shine in your hair.

2. Rubbing nails together releases chemical signals that stimulate hair growth in the scalp. And also rubbing nails together for 5-10 minutes twice a day claims to reduce hair fall.
