Hair today Gone Tommorrow

Balding is not something anyone would look forward to. Even though we are unable to stop aging we can help ourselves when it comes to hair loss.

Our hair does get thinner as we age and more for some than others but with today's medications and creams etc we may be able to slow this down.

I have looked into many hair loss remedies and have found some that are better than others in how they say the can slow down hair loss and some even say they will help your existing hair grow more and stronger. I do not know about that but have heard of some of the good some of them do.

The Great Success Of Traditional Chinese Herbs To Hair Loss Treatment

By Eugene Yeng


The healthy growth of hair depends on the sufficient flow of blood to its roots and to the scalp itself. Therefore normal growth will naturally be affected if this flow is somehow hindered. Certainly genetic factors can influence any reduction in growth and an unhealthy diet can also be a factor. The general western diet, that can often include a high intake of dairy products and fast food items, is particularly relevant to the problem. However, blood deficiency can be helped and this is where the relationship of traditional Chinese herbs to hair loss treatment comes in.

In fact, herbs have been used in China for centuries. The area of herbology is therefore one of the most important branches of Chinese medicine that exists. The correct use of effective herbal remedies is, however, a complex process and their prescription and application requires a great deal of experience and knowledge.

Each patient is thoroughly examined and their proscribed treatment is then made to carefully attend to their particular requirements. This can involve the use of perhaps just a couple of main ingredients in the formula which are regarded as being the most potent weapon in fighting the illness. These ingredients will then be mixed with others to both ensure the patients specific yin and yang balance is taken into account and that any possible side effects of the main herbs are countered.

Therefore Chinese herbology often makes use of all the different parts of each particular plant, including the leaf, the stem, the flower and the root. Ingredients which have been extracted from both animals and minerals can also often be incorporated into the final formula.

Preparation then, usually happens in one of many different ways. The raw ingredient can often quite simply be boiled and then drank as a kind of tea. Nowadays, however, they are usually made and then sold either in pill or capsule form. Most rare is their application by sticking plaster.

In the area of hair treatment there exist several formulas that may be used, let's now look at some examples. Many consider that the most effective of all the remedies, (not just for regrowth but for the reversal of the greying process in fact) is what has been named, at least in the West, - Polygoni multiflori or Foti. Legend has it that a man who became lost in the forests survived solely on the root of this plant, and when he was eventually found his thinning grey hair was now thick and black. For this, in China, the herb is known as He Shou Wu, which literally means Old Mr He.

But perhaps better known is the popular herb Ginseng. This is most usually consumed as a tea infusion and is said to be a great healing remedy for hair loss. Having been used in Chinese medicine for more than two millennia the facts probably speak for themselves.

Lastly here, mention has to be made of the popular herbal remedy known as Goto Kola. It is considered to be particular successful when used to treat hair loss which is age-related as well as male pattern baldness. These are just some examples of remedies that tie traditional Chinese herbs to hair loss treatment.
