I had to explain it only grows hair where there are the proper follicles for it (duh!) and that I wasn't going to be mistaken for Sasquatch. I have seen it listed, along with castor oil, as a hair regrowth treatment but, um, walking around with oily hair is pretty nasty!
It has antiseptic properties too. I rub it on cuts and scrapes after they have sealed over and it helps diminish scars - and I scar badly.
Please don't anybody tell Limu Emu.
