5 Chinese Herbs To Treat Hair Fall

Losing hair is undoubtedly frustrating. Be it severe hair fall, thinning hair, alopecia, bald patches, pattern baldness or any other similar issue, all come with equal levels of stress making us lose even more hair irrespective of gender. As there are a variety of reasons behind hair loss, it is quite tough to restore the locks naturally with a single cure. We keep trying a host of self-proclaimed ‘highly effective’ remedies with no desired results and end up getting depressed. Chinese herbs can be a great alternative in such situations as they have been used for centuries to prevent hair loss and stimulate hair restoration.

* He Shou Wu (Fo-Ti)

He Shou Wu (Polygonum Multiflorum), also popularly known as Fo-Ti or Polygala Vine, is considered as the most effective Chinese herb for hair loss prevention and hair restoration. Its age-long popularity is nothing but the reflection of its efficacy in boosting blood circulation, nourishing hair roots, strengthening hair fibers, stopping hair fall, promoting the growth of new terminal hair strands, preventing premature graying, restoring the natural color and shine of hair fibers, and so on.

* Nu Shen Zi

Nu Shen Zi (Ligustrum Lucidum) is primarily known to be a Yin tonic for liver and kidney that eliminates toxins from our body and helps in making our immune system more powerful. As a result, our blood is purified and the circulation is improved all through the scalp, which eventually prevents hair loss, treats bald patches, and encourages the growth of new hair.

* Wu Wei Zin

Wu Wei Zin (Schisandra Chinensis), a highly appreciated beauty-enhancing Chinese tonic herb, has found its use as a natural cure for baldness too. It purifies blood, boosts circulation, nourishes the hair follicles, and finally activates them, which contribute to regrowth of hair, faster hair growth, and improved hair texture.

* Reishi Mushroom

Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma Lucidum), also called the ’mushroom of immortality’, is one of the best Chinese herbs that efficiently cure folliculitis (the condition in which boil-like, whitish structures are formed around the roots of hair strands). Consequently, we get rid of scalp itchiness, which is often known to be the cause of excess hair fall. It also enhances the flow of blood throughout the scalp significantly.

* Ginseng

Ginseng (Panax Ginseng) is another classic Chinese herb that treats hair loss by increasing the supply of blood to the hair follicles. It promotes the metabolism of the follicle cells and makes them well-nourished, which is very much required for the regrowth of the lost hair.
