Nowadays, regardless of gender, there are many, many people with hair loss. At present, there are various methods to prevent hair loss, such as topical hair growth fluids, oral hair growth drugs, and even hair transplantation or surgical treatment

In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, hair loss is related to the weakness of the kidneys, because according to traditional Chinese medicine, "the essence of the kidneys lies in the hair." This means that when the kidneys are deficient, the hair will also turn white and fall off. So, if these people with hair loss or hair loss go to see traditional Chinese medicine, doctors often ask them to nourish the kidneys to promote hair growth.
However, there are also exceptions for those who experience hair loss or hair loss. For example, for people who often have greasy heads and faces, heavy and tired bodies, they need to start by strengthening the spleen and removing dampness to regulate themselves!
I used to raise a potted flower that was rarely watered, but it still grew very lush. A few days, I accidentally watered too much and the leaves turned yellow. After a few more days, all the leaves fell off. Later, someone told me that the roots had rotted due to pouring too much water.
Hair, like plants, needs to be lush and not shed, neither lacking nor too much water. However, we only value "drought" and overlook the issue of "too much water". Specifically, in the human body, heavy moisture is equivalent to flooding the body, and hair rooted in flooding will definitely not grow well.
Saving "rotten roots"
It still needs this medicine
Professor Yue Meizhong, a famous traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, has a unique insight into hair loss. He said, "The formation of hair loss is often caused by the accumulation of water vapor, which erodes the hair roots and causes them to rot and wither." Based on this theory, Yue used a single ingredient of Poria cocos to treat hair loss. The specific method is to grind Poria cocos into powder, 12 grams per day, and take it twice.
The reason why Poria cocos can shoulder the heavy responsibility of growth and development is that its medicinal properties are very peaceful, almost suitable for everyone and all times to eat, so Poria cocos is also known as the "Four Seasons Holy Medicine"; The second is that Poria cocos has a light taste and can dilute and promote dampness, which means that the excess water accumulated in the body or even under the skin can be quickly cleared and eliminated.
The latter is similar to "opening a floodgate" for floods. Only when there is less water accumulated in the soil can it play its role as a nutrient for plants. In the words of an elderly man, "Poria cocos can ascend and infiltrate water, while its water intake decreases and the dampness disappears.".
Previously, my teacher was sent to Europe to provide medical support. There, she met a hair loss patient who, with limited availability of traditional Chinese medicine, managed to grow hair from that European patient with just one "Six Flavors Dihuang Pill".
In the matter of "Six Flavors Dihuang Pills for Hair Growth", many people only think that this medicine is kidney tonifying, and ignore the Poria cocos and Alisma contained in it. Both of these medicines have the effect of reducing osmotic pressure and promoting dampness. The kidney tonifying yam, Cornus officinalis meat, and ripe ground make the hair roots strong, while Poria cocos and Zexie remove excess water accumulated at the hair roots, allowing them to better absorb the kidney tonifying medicine.
So, what kind of hair loss sufferers are suitable for using Poria cocos?
It must be a person with heavy water and moisture in their body, and even combined with dampness and obesity. The specific manifestation is:
1. The scalp oil is heavy, and the hair is always wet and oily, or there is a lot of dandruff and obvious itching; My face is always shiny and oily, and my face is not tight, with bags under my eyes and obvious double chin
2. I always feel like I can't sleep, and when I wake up in the morning, my head feels drowsy and heavy, as if I'm wrapped in a wet towel. My whole body also feels drowsy, tired, and lethargic
3. The tongue is plump, with thick and greasy coating, and there are obvious tooth marks on the edge of the tongue
4. Frequent irregular stools
The above four points, as long as they have two points, are sufficient to indicate that the water is wet and stops inside. However, single flavored Poria cocos do not have enough strength for many people. They develop dampness due to spleen deficiency over time, which is the crux of their condition. For this reason, it is also recommended to use yam and kudzu root for nourishment.
Yam is the "Six Flavors Rehmannia" in the kitchen, which not only strengthens the spleen but also nourishes the kidneys. The kidney, the innate foundation, can assist the spleen, the acquired foundation, and directly nourish hair;
Kudzu root has a yang boosting effect. The so-called "yang boosting" refers to pushing the suppressed qi and blood into place. With the blessing of Kudzu root, the dampness trapped yang qi can be lifted smoothly, and the dampness at the hair roots is naturally more easily removed.
