Chinese medicine for hair loss is used internally and externally to prevent and treat hair loss, and the time of effect may vary depending on the medication and dosage.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, hair loss is mainly related to deficiency of qi and blood, blood stasis and obstruction of collaterals, stagnation of liver qi, and skin sores. In preventing and treating hair loss, TCM practitioners need to use appropriate remedies according to the patient’s specific condition and after diagnosis.
Commonly used topical medications include Hair Shampooing Chrysanthemum Powder and Long Hair Zi Rong Powder, which can alleviate the symptoms of hair loss to a certain extent. Internal medications include Seven Treasures Beard Pills and Three Immortals Pills, which are effective in treating premature whitening of beard and hair. The effectiveness and onset time of Chinese medicine for hair loss will vary depending on the individual’s hair loss condition, the type of medicine and the dosage.
Patients who suffer from hair loss and need Chinese medicine treatment should go to a regular Chinese medicine hospital and follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the use of medication, rather than blindly using their own medication, so as to avoid the treatment being ineffective.
