It’s no secret that stress combined with pollution and our humid climate can throw our hair and scalp health out of whack. Now add poor sleeping habits, unhealthy diet, and frequent exposure to chemical hair services to the mix, and it’s only a matter of time before your crown of hair starts losing its glory.
If you’re one who prefers to do things the natural way, chances are you would’ve considered following the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approach to keep hair loss at bay. To take the guesswork out of the equation, here are some ways TCM can help with hair loss prevention and treatment.
3 natural TCM hair loss tips that everybody can try
Introduce TCM herbs that help hair growth or prevent hair loss into your diet
Among the wide assortment of holistic Chinese herbs, three are especially known for their ability to take care of your scalp while helping to fortify hair strands – he shou wu, ginseng, and lingzhi.
Ginseng and he shou wu (known as polygonum multiflorum scientifically) are highly nutritious roots that nourish the scalp, stimulate hair follicles, and prevent premature greying while lingzhi is a type of fungus that improves blood circulation to promote healthy hair growth.
Essentially, these herbs not only address the symptoms of hair and scalp issues but also get down to the root of your mane problems to fix the issue efficiently.
However, most people tend to shy away from this edible method because they’re unsure of how to prepare these herbs for consumption while some are just too lazy to do the prep work. It can also be quite a challenge to pick out the good ones from the herbs, which comes with education, gut feeling as well as trust in your seller.
Another common issue that most people have with TCM herbs is the strong herbal taste that may not be everyone’s cup of tea. Plus, these ingredients can also be rather costly to consume on a regular basis.
Give yourself a scalp massage that focuses on key meridian points
Apart from relieving stress, a meridian scalp massage can also help keep hair loss under control and stimulate hair growth. Incorporating this massage into your routine is cost-effective too as you don’t need any special massage tools for this massage type at all – just your fingers will do.
However, there are at least 40 meridian acupoints found in the scalp alone so for most of us who are untrained in reflexology, it can be tough for us to get the right points to massage on or know the right amount of strength to use even if we follow online tutorials closely.
Plus, meridian scalp massages should be performed every day in order to reap results which means you need to have the discipline to keep up with this on a daily basis – something that not many of us have when we are so bogged down with everything that’s happening in our lives.
Many people may also be discouraged by the fact that it can be difficult to self-massage since we’re unable to “see” our scalps.
Practise light exercise or stress-relieving routines daily
Juggling work and family is a challenge for many of us, which makes it all the more crucial for us to make time to have a moderately healthy lifestyle so that our health doesn’t decline prematurely due to stress.
Sweating it out with light exercises such as walking around your neighbourhood park or yoga as well as daily meditation can help enhance your qi and keep your blood circulation in check.
Getting sufficient sleep is also important as it allows your internal system to reset and regenerate. Another lifestyle habit to follow? Try to avoid having the air-conditioner blown directly at your scalp – doing so can cause your scalp to feel dry, tight, itchy, and eventually flaky in the long run, just like how it affects the skin on your face.
Besides that, other side effects of scalp imbalance due to air-conditioning include unwanted skin disorders, premature ageing as well as hair dullness.
