Chinese Medicine and Balding - Uncovering Some of the Mystery

Hair loss is a problem that affects millions of people. Sometimes when traditional treatments don't work, people may be forced to try alternative forms of treatment. The Chinese have been successfully treating baldness for centuries.

It's important for the body to be in "balance". When the body is out of balance you become sick or, in this case, can lose your hair. After your body is brought back into balance the symptoms will resolve themselves and disappear.

The 2 main issues usually are as follows:

• Liver and Kidney Yin deficiency: The energy that nourishes the hair follicles is deficient. Herbs that nourish Liver and Kidney Yin need to be taken so the hair can re-grow.

• Toxic heat in the body: There is excess acidity in the body. This is generally caused from exposure to pollution, an infection or poor diet.

It's quite possible that both of these conditions can exist at the same time. By reducing the inflammation and acidity, while at the same time nourishing the yin energy that's needed for hair to grow you can correct the problem and help hair to re-grow.

The following are some Chinese herbs that can help:

• He Shou Wu or Fo-ti: This is a traditional Chinese treatment for hair loss. Improving the quality of hair growth is the major benefit. You can expect to see the benefits within 3 to 6 months.

• Ligustrum and Eclipta: Both of these strengthen the Liver and Kidney Yin energy. As previously stated, a deficiency in this energy can be a cause of hair loss.

• Chinese wolfberries: These will help improve blood circulation to the head. It's a good idea to use these along with some of the herbs that were already mentioned.

Chinese herbs are a safe alternative for treating hair loss. So try to keep an open mind. Who knows? It may be right for you!
