Blood deficiency and stasis have something in common, in either case, the blood that nourishes the hair is deficient by the time it gets to the hair shaft. The stasis means it is stuck elsewhere, with the end result being that again, there is a deficiency of blood on the head. However, there is a different look to the hair loss. Blood deficiency is going to be thinning hair, while blood stagnation hair damage is going to fall out in clumps or distinct areas. There are some other problems too such as Kidney deficiency. I would think that a Kidney yin deficiency would give rise to dry hair that breaks, splits, and falls out easily. Kidney jing is the precursor to yin. Kidney jing and Liver blood can transform into one another. Hair is sometimes referred to as " excess Liver blood. " So, there's kind of a thin line between the Kidney and blood deficiency type. -al, (bald and proud.) -- , DAOM Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Based upon what you're saying, I'm thinking it must be Liver Blood deficiency. It's thin all over, like there's more space between the follicles than there used to be. This could be the cause of my hands falling asleep at night too, right? Would I be better off adding something like Si Wu Tang to my regimen? Are there foods that would accomplish the same goal? LOL at your parenthetical note. Actually, I do think it's sexy when a man accepts himself as he is instead of worrying about it. That confidence is attractive in a man. My husband is just like you in that department. It is what it is and it doesn't faze him.

This could be the cause of my hands > falling asleep at night too, right? > " hands falling asleep " would be called " numbness and tingling " in TCM. The two key causes for this is Blood deficiency and phlegm in the channels. So, if you have other symptoms of blood deficiency, but not other symptoms of phlegm, then I think you have a tree to bark up. Would I be better off adding > something like Si Wu Tang to my regimen? > Si Wu Tang is a good general choice for this, yes. Of course, your Si Ni San also has bai shao and zhi gan cao, both of which can help the body generate more blood. But you're right that Si Wu Tang is probably better for the hair thinning and sleepy hands. They can work just fine together. > Are there foods that would > accomplish the same goal? > Bloody foods (red meat) and green leafy vegies that are high in iron. This is a Western approach, but it does have some value. I've seen quite a few blood deficient patients who got that way because of their dietary choices. But if you're a little squeamish about eating things with eyes, consider the red, chewy fruits. Many blood tonics in herbalism are things like red dates, and longan fruit (if you can find that outside of an herb store). > > > LOL at your parenthetical note.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 What are the channels and how would you know if you have phlegm in them?

Phlegm in the channels will give rise to sections of your skin (biomedicine: " dermatomes " ) that will feel numb or tingly. Also, phlegm in the channels may arise with a thick tongue coating. So thick that you can't see through it to the tongue body proper. -- , DAOM Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hi Everyone, I'm 43, non pre-menopausal (as far as I know) and I've got a patch of hair right in the front - where you'd normally have bangs) of my hair which has thinned. I don't think it's getting any worse but I've tried a few things and although I've got some new growth I'd like it to get back to " normal " . Any ideas out there for this, I'm quite certain my hair thinned due to an attempt at a diet several months ago (which ultimately failed :-() Thanks.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hi Lisa, I've just started using something called DermaMag, It's a way to get Magnesium into your system by rubbing it into your skin without the laxative effect of taking it orally and I'm delighted with the results as my nails are growing for the first time in my life and I'm not chewing them (I'm 81 so this in itself is remarkable as I've done this all my life) but I find that as I clean my hands off after using this oil I rub them on my hair and it has done wonders for my dry wispy hair. Most people are deficient in magnesium anyway as the soil is depleted of many nutrients nowadays. You might try this and perhaps it would help. It would give you more body anyway.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Thank you for bringing up this up! I have taken my temperature at all hours of the day; especially first thing in the morning; it has many times, been as low as 94.5 degrees. My hair thinned out quite a few years ago. I am now 48 years old; you should see the hair I mop up all the time; not to mention the clogged bathroom sink. The only thing I started to respond to, was acupuncture to strengthen the kidneys, but just as soon as the (expensive) treatments stopped, the hair started to fall back out again. I have done it all: Chinese herbs, wheatgrass, kelp, multi-vitamins, etc. I was tested by an endocrinologist who said I tested within 'normal' levels. I even took my own lab test, via ZRT labs and still tested 'normal' but low range. I am menopausal (hysterectomy); I know how you feel and I am glad we are on this topic. Please help us! __________ Lose up to 20 lbs in one month with a new diet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
