Hair loss, when brought on by anaemia and allergies can be cured with Chinese herbal medicine. There is no known genuine remedy for natural alopecia.

In traditional Chinese medicine hair loss is connected with the weakness of blood circulation and kidney function. There are internal and external remedies can be effective to reduce hair loss.

Internal Remedies

Shen Ying Yang Zhen Dan

Tong Qiao Hou Xue Tang + Xiao Yao San

Ba Zhen Tang

Qi Bao Mei Fa Dan + Chuan Xiong

External Remedies

Sheng Jiang or Chuan Xiong is applied directly to effected area to stimulate circulation.

Anaemia is a widely used term to cover blood disorders involving problems with the red blood cells. The causes vary from environmental (e.g. poor diet, heavy bleeding after an accident) to genetic (e.g. sickle cell anaemia). Thus there are no quick-fix general solutions. The solution depends upon the individual's specific situation. Both western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine acknowledge this, with the latter taking an holistic approach to try to solve the underlying causes where possible.

Chinese Teas are excellent to help to balance your general health condition. They can improve the circulation and have many nutrients that can be of assistance to your immune system in particular. You should try them and see the effects. However there are studies that suggest that teas can inhibit the absorption of iron in the body, which is clearly not good during the treatment of anaemia. So seek medical advice concerning your specific situation. Green tea is the least processed tea and is therefore more likely to contain the highest level of these beneficial nutrients.

And finally a good healthy diet including the important vegetables spinach, broccoli and tomatoes, low in fats and high on iron and vitamins. Eat plenty of garlic
