Secret Remedy for Hair Loss No.1
The main symptoms of hair loss include greasy hair resembling oil application, dry and brittle hair lacking luster, adherent pale yellow scales difficult to remove, or flaking gray-white scales that fly off, accompanied by itching. In men, hair loss primarily affects the front and top of the head; the hairline and temples recede upward, with sparse, yellowish, soft hair on the forehead and crown, eventually leading to baldness at the forehead and top or only fine downy hair remaining. In women, hair loss occurs mainly at the crown, resulting in thinning hair but not complete patchy shedding. Traditional Chinese medicine attributes this condition to two causes: first, blood heat and wind-dryness—excessive blood heat depletes yin blood, generating wind from blood deficiency, further damaging yin blood, preventing nourishment of hair roots at the scalp, causing dryness and hair loss; second, spleen-stomach damp-heat—weak spleen function impairs digestion, combined with overconsumption of rich, fatty foods, injuring stomach and spleen, causing damp-heat to rise to the scalp, eroding hair roots gradually, leading to sticky hair loss. The following are some remedies and secret formulas for hair loss. [Formula One] 90 grams each of cypress twigs (dried herb), pepper seeds, and pinellia. Add 500 ml water, boil down to 250 ml, add a small amount of honey, then boil for 1–2 more boils. Before use, mix with a little fresh ginger juice, stir well, and rub onto hairless areas twice daily. [Formula Two] Equal parts white alum and turmeric. Prepare into pills, take 4–5 grams each time, twice daily. [Formula Three] 15 grams of table salt. Dissolve in 1500 ml warm water, stir well, and wash hair once weekly. Long-term use can prevent hair loss. [Formula Four] 3 melon seeds, 2 walnuts, 30 grams of cypress leaves. Crush all together and soak in snow water, then comb through hair. Hair will not fall out and becomes smooth and shiny. This formula is especially suitable for kidney-deficiency type hair loss. [Formula Five] Several pieces of cypress leaf. Dry in shade, grind into fine powder, soak in spring oil. Dip a brush into the mixture and apply to scalp. Once hair grows back, wash hair with pig bile juice mixed in water. This formula is especially suitable for female hair loss.
