How To Use Chinese Herbs For Hair Loss In Menopause
70-80% of women over 40 experience thinning hair. I get asked for help with this all the time, which is why I recently combined 7 DIFFERENT BLOG POSTS all with different solutions for thinning hair into
ONE COMPREHENSIVE BLOG.
CLICK HERE for my comprehensive blog on help with thinning hair including the use of essential oils.
It includes how to use two of my favorite Chinese Herbs - to help prevent or reverse thinning hair during or after menopause.
Hey Dana,
This is really a great article.
He shou wu not only helps in hair restoration but also strengthens the hair, increases blood production, and may even reverse graying.
Yes!! it’s so awesome! As long as it’s processed correctly to eliminate any toxicity – and for anyone not highly allergic to soy – as it’s cooked with soy when it’s made into a Chinese herb! There are some great “stories” about people who go access to really really old, mature He shou wu roots and their hair turned from gray back to its original color – you have to love that!
Hi Dana! I’d love to know your source for Chinese Herbs. Specifically the ginsing and He Shou Wu you mention in this video. I just over the last week have noticed that my hair is falling out about double the normal rate. At 53, a recent convert from vegetarian to vegan, and pretty healthy eater I am assuming I NEED some supplements. 🙂 Thanks for all you do. I love watching your videos.
Hi Deanna – where are you located? Also.. If you’re interested in using herbs in this way – as superfoods/supplements/strengthening/prevention/healthy aging/hair & nails & structural support… You might want to consider a balanced, 3 treasures tonic herbal program – to really have the herbs as part of your supplement/foundational routine. If you want to know more about that – why don’t you click and schedule a free call with me? I have opened some spots on my schedule!
Hi Dana. Would either of these herbs be effective if applied topically to the scalp? Also, do you have any quality brand recommendations? Thanks!
Hi Cheryl, I have another blog in this series coming out soon on essential oils for supporting hair growth – and the essential oils are what I like to use topically on the scalp. The herbs I generally use internally. I’m sure you could rinse your scalp with a tea made from the herbs… I just find nothing beats the essential oils for topical use.
Re sourcing – yes using the right brands of herbs is VERY important!!! If you’re interested in using Chinese herbs, I highly recommend watching your email inbox (I noticed you’re one of my email insiders) I have a free online mini course – a series of videos coming out in the next few weeks on how to use Chinese Herbs – and I’ll talk in detail about sourcing. It’ll be perfect!
