Hair loss is a spleen disease to put it bluntly, and only external use is to pull out the seedlings to help it grow, which is not a good thing
Have you noticed that a large proportion of people with hair loss will have obvious effects at the beginning when they first use topical applications, such as arborvitae leaves, minoxidil, etc., but the effect will gradually weaken over time. Even if you can't feel the effect, the hair is blood, this is because there are problems in the body, there is a serious lack of qi and blood, which is not enough to nourish the hair, even if the external use of the seedlings to help it grow, it will not grow hair.
Therefore, it is not a good thing to use external hair growth all the time, it can be said that external use is not to cure diseases, but to obtain short-term prosperity and pull out seedlings to help grow. Once stopped, the hair will continue to fall, and the long hair will not be retained, or even only lose but not grow, and finally cause the hair follicles to shrink severely.
In my opinion, hair loss is, to put it bluntly, "spleen disease". Why? I will understand by sharing a story with you today.
This is one of my patients, 28 years old, since work, the mental pressure is relatively high, the diet is more greasy, the alcohol is too much, I am not sure when it starts, the hair is getting less and less, the top of the head has become thin, the hair is oily, and the hair is losing a lot, especially when washing the hair.
I also did a test, said that it was seborrheic alopecia, and then prescribed medicine and external use, I felt that the effect was good after using it for a while, but then I felt that there was still a lot of hair loss, and I really couldn't bear it.
Diagnosis: greasy, fine hair, sparse top of the head, light tongue, thin yellow moss, thin and astringent pulse. Difficulty falling asleep, greasy face, insomnia, difficulty falling asleep, feeling bloated, sometimes poor appetite, fatigue and not wanting to move.
After learning more about the situation, the group formula: Codonopsis, tangerine peel, Poria cocos, Chuanqiong, Zexiao, and Shouwu vine. Wait for more than a dozen Chinese medicine pharmacies to make traditional Chinese medicine granules to ensure the efficacy and convenience of taking, and take it twice a day with hot water. With external use** 20 minutes per day.
What is the effect of the patient's prescription?
Follow-up: Hair oil improvement, hair loss reduction, abdominal distension decreased, sleep quality improved, daily sleep time increased, mood was better than before, tell him to insist on taking it, this disease is not caused overnight, Chinese medicine conditioning needs time to repair, adhere to the prescription.
Third diagnosis: The patient's feedback has grown small broken hair, fatigue has been reduced, and the symptoms have basically disappeared. Continue to use the top, topical use needs to be adhered to all the time.
By insisting on the follow-up prescription, the drug has been stopped since three months, and the hair has returned to normal, but the external use must be adhered to, and the follow-up has been repeated so far in order to better consolidate.
What is the reason? When the heart and spleen are deficient and the qi and blood are insufficient, the pulse is thin and the tongue is light. Blood does not nourish the heart, so it will cause insomnia, sleep poorly, and the tongue coating will be yellow. Greasy hair, bloating, and poor appetite indicate spleen deficiency, and for such patients, the key is not to tonify the liver and kidney, because their symptoms are not caused by the liver and kidney. If the drugs that soothe the liver and regulate qi are used excessively at this time, it may cause damage to the patient's righteous qi. On the contrary, we should take the best methods of strengthening the spleen and invigorating qi, nourishing blood and nourishing the heart.
