Hi Scoobie, Thanks for the compliments.If you are suffering from fissure you should take care of few things like eat more fiber in diet, avoid constipation, take sitz bath with salt water and apply pure cow ghee to the fissure daily after bathing.I am sure this will help you to reduce the pain.
For hair growth, I would suggest you to eat sesame 1 tbs.daily (but be careful it is little bit hot for our body). Take milk daily.Apply oil to hair regularly.
I hope this will help you.Take care dear.
