Yes, it is used a before bed spray on your scalp as a hair loss treatment. Does it work - don't know? Never tried it. Your friend's naturopath should rephrase what he/she says - it might help. Just like Finasteride or Dutasteride might help but for some it does zip.

They are sold via prescription for internal / oral use or you can go to websites (check out minoxidilmax) and buy the topical spray which from experience work just as well.
