Abstract

Hair gives one of the most memorable images of a person’s identity. Hair loss has an enormous impact on quality of life. Although various treatment strategies are available to prevent hair loss, unfortunately not adequate. Hence, in this context authors performed this study to evaluate the impact of Consciousness Energy Healing (The Trivedi Effect®) Treatment on the test item (DMEM) in human follicular dermal papilla culture cells for the assessment of hair cell growth and development in vitro. The test item, DMEM was divided into three parts. First part did not receive any sort of treatment and defined as the untreated DMEM group. The second and third parts were treated with the one-time and two-times Biofield Energy Treatment by a renowned Biofield Energy Healer, Mahendra Kumar Trivedi and coded as the one-time Biofield Energy Treated DMEM (BT-I) and two-times Biofield Energy Treated DMEM (BT-II) groups, respectively. Results showed that BT-I group exhibited 14.8%, however BT-II group was significantly (p≤0.001) increased cellular proliferation of dermal papilla cells by 124.3% compared to the untreated DMEM group. The results demonstrated that the Biofield Energy Healing Treatment significantly increased the proliferation of human hair follicle dermal papilla cells. Therefore, the Consciousness Energy Healing (The Trivedi Effect®) Treatment could be useful as a hair growth enhancer against different skin injuries like actinic keratosis, necrotizing fasciitis, sebaceous cysts, diaper rash, decubitus ulcer and hair-related disorders like androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness), alopecia totalis or alopecia universalis, traction alopecia, telogen effluvium, trichodystrophy, scarring alopecias, alopecia areata, etc.

Highlights

Hair plays many vital biological activities, which includes protection from the elements and distribution of sweat-gland products
The results demonstrated that the Biofield Energy Healing Treatment significantly increased the proliferation of human hair follicle dermal papilla cells
Androgen target cells are very important for the assessment of hair growth in terms of proliferation of Dermal papilla cells (DPCs) in various location such as beard, armpit, and scalp, etc

Summary

Introduction

Hair plays many vital biological activities, which includes protection from the elements and distribution of sweat-gland products. It has an important psychosocial role in society. Traditional plant remedies have been used for centuries in the treatment of hair loss, but only a few have been scientifically evaluated [2]. The huge numbers of population (male and female) are suffering from baldness and increasing day-byday due to various factors like stress, pollution, smoking, drinking, changes of lifestyle, fast globalization, indiscriminate grow of industrialization, and advance medical therapies. Alternative medical systems are the systems of theory and practice that are different from conventional therapy, both in Western cultures (e.g., homeopathy, naturopathy) and in non-Western cultures (e.g., Ayurvedic medicine, traditional Chinese medicine). A lot of scientific work of literature including United State - Food and Drug Administration (US-FDA) indicated that minoxidil has potent hair growth promotion activity both animal studies as well as cell-based assay [6-8]
