Chicken Rub

The following cure for hair loss appears (verbatim) across numerous websites offering ayurvedic cures to all sort of ailments:

HAIR LOSS: Those suffering from hair loss or baldness, may apply a paste of hot olive oil, one tablespoon of honey, one teaspoon of cinnamon powder before bath and keep it for approx. 15 min. and then wash the hair. It was found to be effective even if kept on for 5 minutes.

Now we all know that olive oil, honey and even cinnamon have proven medicinal properties, but you’ll forgive me if I think this particular paste will do better spending 15 minutes on this evening’s chicken than on my head.
