Pine Needle Treatment for Hair Loss

To put it simply, pine needles are actually the leaves of pine trees. Because the leaves of pine trees are pointed like embroidery needles, they are also called pine needles. Although pine needles appear sharp, they actually have many functions and effects. When it comes to the fact that pine needles can cure hair loss, perhaps many people don't know about it, and there is no similar introduction in many books, so after verification, those who are interested often doubt the nonsense that pine needles can cure hair loss.

For people with hair loss, growing hair would make them very happy and joyful, especially for those who are not very old and have almost lost all their hair. Because people with hair loss are often ridiculed and mocked by people in real life, which makes them very unhappy and depressed. So, let me introduce you to the use of pine needles to treat hair loss.

Volatile oils were extracted from fresh and dried cedar needles by fractional extraction using anhydrous ethanol, ethyl acetate and petroleum ether as solvents. Their chemical components were analyzed and identified using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed that there were 65 components in fresh pine needles, the main components of which were alkanes, olefinic acids, olefinic ketones and sterols, while there were 44 components in dry pine needles, the main components of which were alkanoic acids, ketones, esters and sterols, among which the content of sterols was relatively high. The components in dried pine needles exist in a relatively stable form.

The benefits of pine needles are as follows:

1. To treat stroke: Take one pound of pine leaves, chop them into small pieces, boil them with one dou of wine until three liters remain, and drink it all at once. You will sweat and recover immediately.

2. Treat pain in bones and joints all over the body: also known as lijiefeng. Mash one liter of pine needle juice and mix it with three liters of wine. After seven days, take one dose three times a day.

3. To treat rheumatism and beriberi: use pine leaf wine, which is suitable for those who have not been cured by long-term treatment. Boil pine needles in juice and soak five dou of rice, then drink the pine soup with rice. Use 60 jin of pine needles and 4 shi of water to boil the juice until 1 shi is left, add rice and make wine in the usual way. Then put it into a jar and seal it for seven days. It will be very effective after everyone is drunk.

Historical records show that soaking pine needles in wine can treat hair loss. If hair loss is caused by irregular lifestyle habits or excessive nervous stress, you can heal yourself by drinking pine needle wine, avoid staying up late, avoid eating too much spicy food, relieve stress, relax, etc. However, if hair loss is not alleviated after adjustments or hair loss lasts for more than a year, the hair follicles may have completely died, and you can consider hair transplantation. However, in specific situations, it is still recommended to go to the relevant agency for testing and then receive symptomatic treatment.

Therefore, through the above introduction, we can understand that the use of pine needles to treat hair loss is real and effective, but many people don’t believe it. However, as for those magic combs on the market, they are ineffective and are still very expensive. Those people are purely trying to deceive consumers in order to make the greatest profit, so everyone should be careful in the future.
