In Traditional Chinese Medicine, healthy hair depends on Blood and Yin.
Blood nourishes the hair roots and scalp.
When Blood is weak, hair becomes thin, dry, brittle, sheds easily, or stops growing well.
Yin provides moisture, cooling, and depth.
When Yin is deficient, the scalp can become dry, irritated, the hair loses shine, and shedding increases, often with signs like restlessness, poor sleep, or feeling “burnt out.”
Over time, Blood and Yin deficiency can also reduce circulation to the scalp, meaning the hair simply doesn’t receive what it needs to stay anchored and strong.
This is why hair loss in TCM is often treated by deeply nourishing the body, not just stimulating the scalp.
When Blood and Yin are restored, hair can regrow healthier, thicker, and more resilient
