Is Chinese medicine for hair care reliable?

It is possible to nourish hair with Chinese medicine. Hair growth requires nutrients, and hair growth is related to hormones in the body and kidney function. Therefore, we use Chinese medicine to regulate hair, usually by applying it on the scalp to promote hair growth. If we want our hair to be dark and shiny, we can apply ginger, regulate the liver and kidneys, and pay more attention to rest.

Hair-nutrition refers to the care and maintenance of hair. In addition to sufficient protein, hair growth also requires a certain amount of iodine, vitamins, trace elements, etc., so you should eat more foods rich in these nutrients. The color and luster of hair are related to the secretion of thyroid hormone and trace elements.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the liver stores blood, and hair is the surplus of blood. If the blood is deficient, the hair will become dry. The kidney is the foundation of the innate constitution, the source of essence and blood, and its beauty is in the hair." Therefore, for hair problems such as hair loss and poor hair quality, traditional Chinese medicine will consider it from the perspective of qi and blood deficiency, and kidney deficiency.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Hair Care

The growth of hair depends on blood. Blood transports nutrients to the hair. Therefore, if the blood is abundant, the hair will also be abundant. At the same time, qi and blood have the same origin and can transform and interact with each other. Therefore, if the blood and qi are deficient, the hair will not be nourished, causing it to wither, become thin, and fall out.

For women, changes in blood and qi are more obvious whether it is during the menstrual cycle, postpartum or menopause. Women's menstrual cycle, especially irregular menstruation, is generally caused by blood and qi deficiency; women bleed more during childbirth, which also has a certain impact on blood and qi. If the recovery is not good, it may even have long-term effects; blood and qi begin to decline during menopause, and the "Tiankui Jie" mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine is related to blood and qi. Due to these factors, women are more likely to suffer from qi and blood deficiency, which leads to the trouble of hair loss.

"The kidney is the foundation of the innate constitution, and its beauty is in the hair." The growth and shedding of hair can often reflect the strength or weakness of the kidney qi. If the kidney qi is strong, the hair will be dense, black and shiny. When the kidney qi is weak, the essence and blood are insufficient, resulting in a lack of nutrition supply to the hair, which then becomes sparse, easy to fall out, or turns white and dull.
