5 Herbal Products for Hair Health
Hair health is linked to our blood and jing in Chinese Medicine. You need these two vital substances for hair health, restoration and regrowth. Jing is our foundational substances that are responsible for growth, development and reproduction. We are born with a finite amount because it is related to our genetics. However, some jing can be recovered with good self care, avoiding stress and overwork, eating healthfully and preventing illness. Easier said than done! Hair loss is extremely emotional and is oftentimes linked to deficiency conditions. It is important to be patient when you are in the process of treating your hairloss because it takes time and sometimes your body needs to be in a place where it is strong and healthy enough in order for it to continue to grow good, healthy hair. These products should be thought of as complementary to healthy lifestyle changes and possibly seeking treatment from an East Asian Medicine provider. Topical products will always work better when in combination with other types of treatments (acupuncture, microneedling).

For dry, itchy scalp such as: Psoriasis, Eczema, Seborrhoeic Dermatitis (dandruff), Lichen Planus of the scalp (Lichen Planopilaris) and Alopecia Areata. This product does require more effort and dedication as you would apply it to the scalp and wear a shower cap overnight. PURCHASE IT FROM KAMWO
Tibet Tonic Hair Growth Restorer
This is a highly slept on product. I have seen this grow hair when I thought it was a lost cause! However, the cases I’ve seen it work well with are those who had been very dedicated to their treatment plan long term and are also having acupuncture or microneedling regularly. This product is applied to the scalp and increases circulation to the follicles and enhances the capillary vessels of the follicles. This all results in the stimulating the follicle which assists the hair to grow healthy and look shiny. This is meant for all hair types. PURCHASE IT FROM KAMWO

Healing Botanical Herbal Herbal Rescue Shampoo
This shampoo is good for itchy, dry scalp or damaged/dry and thinning hair. These herbs are for balancing the scalp sebum and restoring damaged hair. PURCHASE IT FROM KAMWO
Please note that topical products are great when your condition is acute. For chronic issues, topical products work better in conjunction with other treatment strategies like microneedling or taking a specifically prescribed internal herbal formula. If you have a more chronic and difficult history with hair loss it is recommended to seek a longer and more customized treatment plan especially if topical products alone have not been sufficient.
