Many old people in India believe if your palms are itching,it means you are going to get money. Yesterday my palms had been itching since morning.I remembered the saying and decided to check it. Nothing happened.Nobody came to give me even a single cent. Today my palms are itching again.I am going to apply some coconut oil on them.They say,it works.

I think that belief is true, you have an itching palms and remember its almost end of the month, then you can have your payout soon. So you can have money. Lol.

On a lighter note, if my palms continues to itch for more than one day, I try to use some dermatological cream.

The saying when I was young and we had itchy palms was 'rub it on wood, it's sure to come good'.

MY hand was itchy for two days and I was expecting money too but sadly I haven't received a single cent either. Silly superstition isn't it

@BenRyanLee,I am told it works.Actually itching in palms is caused by dry skin.
