A member asked:
To increase blood flow in my scalp i do some massages.one is "pressing scalp with knuckles with 10-20 pounds force". my question is that the force i'm using (10-20 pounds) will it do any changes to my skull ?

No, it will not have any such effect. This is entirely harmless. (However, this also will not increase blood flow to the scalp -- and there is no rwason to want more blood to the scalp anyway.)

I feel like this is a silly question. I was laying with my hand on my chest, felt my heart beating. Checked my pulse in my neck, and it did not sync up, almost like its delayed in my neck. Is the pulse different because of the blood flow traveling?
