Acupuncture and Hair Loss: Treating the Root, Not Just the Surface

Are you dealing with hair loss and finding that nothing seems to help? In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), hair is considered an extension of the blood and a reflection of Kidney essence.

The TCM Perspective

Premature hair loss, thinning, or graying is often linked to a depletion of jing or a deficiency in Liver blood — especially when triggered by stress, overwork, or recovery from illness.

How Acupuncture Helps

Acupuncture supports local qi and blood circulation to the scalp, nourishes the Kidneys, and strengthens the blood. Together, this creates a more supportive internal environment for hair growth.

What to Expect

While acupuncture won’t necessarily reverse genetic male pattern baldness, it can help slow progression, reduce stress-related hair loss, and support overall scalp health.

Think of it as treating the root of the system, not just the surface issue.
