Chinese medicine has a long history of treating hair loss in both sexes and can often be very helpful both for stopping further hair loss and for supporting regrowth.

In Chinese medicine healthy hair relies on a good flow of Qi and blood to nourish the scalp. This flow and be interrupted by either a deficiency of Qi and blood or a stagnation of Qi and blood either of which can mean that insufficient nourishment reaches the scalp. Blood and Qi deficiency are often caused by either poor diet or poor assimilation of nutrients where as qi and blood stagnation is often caused by stress or a hormone imbalance.

Acupuncture can improve the flow of Qi and blood in the scalp and can help hair to regrow and Chinese herbs can nourish Qi and blood to stop more hair from falling out. At the our center we usually use both acupuncture and herbs together along with nutritional suggestions and lifestyle changes to help our patients who are suffering from hair loss.
