Hi Doctor!

I read somewhere that there are natural remedies to reversing receding hairlines. Some of these remedies included rubbing oils on the scalp, applying tonic made from red bell peppers, and rubbing an onion on the scalp… have you ever heard of any of these remedies, and of their effective, or non-effective results?

Thank you!

I also read somewhere rubbing semen from a monkey on your head is also effective for hair loss. I wouldn’t recommend trying it, though. I do wonder how the first person stumbled upon that discovery…

There are many urban legends out there about hair loss treatments, and I’ve yet to see any of them work. Your proposition does not seem very harmful, so you can try it, but I also think you won’t have many friends that want to be around you after rubbing onions and bell peppers on your scalp. Keep me posted.
