TLDR Biofield Energy Healing may promote hair growth and treat skin disorders by enhancing hair follicle development.
A study conducted in 2019 investigated the effects of Biofield Energy Healing (The Trivedi Effect®) on hair growth using mouse vibrissae hair follicle organ culture. The untreated test group showed a 20.9% and 28.2% increase in hair bulb thickness on day 5 and 7, respectively, compared to day 1, but did not produce telogen follicles up to day 7. However, the Biofield Energy Treated test group showed 43%, 57%, and 71% of telogen follicle on day 3, 5, and 7, respectively compared to day 1. The study concluded that Biofield Energy Healing significantly enhanced hair follicles in terms of telogen formation, suggesting its potential as an effective hair growth promoter and a possible treatment for various skin-related disorders.
