Making Use of Acupuncture for Treating Hair Loss
1. Baldness is a quite typical issue among women and men. It
is actually considered a natural part of the aging process,
and many adults begin experiencing receding hair line
and/or thinning hair sometime after the age of 40.
However, hair loss can be caused by other conditions also
and they don't have anything to do with age whatsoever.
Hair loss doesn't need to start after 40. Some people
experience hair loss early on and the causes can include
the following: genetic predisposition, disease, poor diet,
environmental exposure, prescription medications, blood
circulation problems, and poor health overall.
2. There are many effective treatments for baldness, but the
one that's growing to be very popular nowadays is
acupuncture. This old oriental medicinal practice works on
the principle of employing needles to energize certain
points in the body. It has been employed, with widely
reported success, for the treatment of just about any
imaginable medical condition throughout history.
However, acupuncture and similar holistic treatments are
often frowned upon by folks who practice modern,
technology-based medicine. Having said that, lately,
continuing studies have been uncovering a medicinal basis
for many traditional practices. Acupuncture considerably
increases blood circulation, along with stimulating
particular nerves which may add benefits including pain
reduction and growth stimulation.
3. Acupuncture appears to be an effective way to treat hair
loss mainly because of its stimulation effect on the
circulatory system. While hair loss has numerous causes, it
is mostly brought on by poor blood circulation in the scalp.
Compared to the other parts of the body, the head area
(scalp included) receives less blood circulation. It is
through the blood stream that oxygen and nutrients are
moved to the different parts of the body. As the scalp has
very little blood flow, just a small amount of the nutrients
you eat get to the scalp. The main or sole cause of hair loss
may be a condition that has an effect on your circulatory
system. If the blood flow in the scalp is further lessened,
your body doesn't have any more way to support the
growth of new hair and even keep the present hair and
follicles healthy.
4. However, even if your baldness isn't caused by a problem
in the circulatory system, it's still a good idea to increase
the circulation in the scalp. It is actually one of the
quickest ways to slow down or reverse hair loss, because it
provides your scalp with more of everything it needs to
restore health and overcome any adverse conditions. In
case you are taking supplements or following a special
diet, acupuncture can multiply the benefits with improved
blood circulation, carrying more of those compounds and
nutrients to your scalp.
5. Many acupuncturists nowadays use various tools, such as
the plum blossom hammer and the seven-pointed star.
Using these tools, special fine needles are either placed in
or pressed against the scalp at specific trigger spots. You
may be wincing at the description of this procedure. It
does seem painful, which explains why many people don't
even want to try it. Having said that, acupuncture for hair
loss is safe and has very minimal pain when it is
performed by an experienced acupuncturist.
6. The individual's comfort and the treatment's success are
hinged on the skill of the acupuncturist. The specific areas
where the acupuncture needles are placed or pressed
against serve as the triggers for stimulating the nerve and
circulatory system. However, understand that the
sensitivity in these points is very low. When you are under
the hands of a skilled acupuncturist, you're likely to not
even feel the needles in the least. What you will feel,
though, is the joy of seeing your hair grow thick and
healthy once again!
