Patients with hair loss due to excessive liver fire can initially try eating some walnuts and black sesame seeds, as these can effectively help manage the condition. Additionally, it is best to avoid alcohol, smoking, and consuming dry, irritating foods. It is also advisable not to lose temper, as being quick-tempered can further exacerbate the symptoms of excessive liver fire. Moreover, it is important to get ample rest and avoid excessive strain. The diet should primarily be light to effectively prevent the issue, or one could take medications to reduce liver fire for quicker treatment. (Please use medications under the guidance of a doctor.)

What are the common causes of hair loss?

The most common cause of hair loss is generally related to genetic factors. For instance, if parents experience hair loss, their children are likely to encounter the same issue. Hair loss can also be associated with hormonal imbalances; an excessive secretion of male hormones can lead to hair loss. It is related to infection factors as well, such as infection with Malassezia bacteria on the scalp, which can cause erythema and papules on the head, and significant hair loss with dandruff. Psychological factors also play a significant role in hair loss. Excessive mental stress, anxiety, and poor sleep can lead to the release of stress-related substances by the body, causing the hair follicle growth cycle to shorten and leading to hair loss. Therefore, it is advisable to visit a dermatology department at a reputable hospital for a timely examination to identify the specific causes and undergo treatment under a doctor's guidance with appropriate medications.

What is the reason for severe hair loss after childbirth?

Postpartum hair loss is severe and is mostly associated with deficiency in both Qi and blood after childbirth. Some patients experience this due to lack of vitamins, trace elements, or changes in endocrine function. If hair loss is severe and persistent without good treatment results, it is recommended to visit a formal hospital to initially check for a complete blood count to see if there is any anemia and to check for trace elements deficiencies. If these conditions exist, it is advisable to take medications that supplement blood, vitamins, and trace elements according to the symptoms. Additionally, some patients may experience symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and back pain. For these symptoms, visiting a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and using herbal medicine for a long-term treatment can be effective. Regularly regulate your diet and lifestyle habits, try to avoid eating foods with heavy flavors, ensure good rest, and avoid staying up late.

Can post-concussion syndrome cause hair loss?

Patients with post-concussion syndrome may experience hair loss, as the main causes of hair loss include endocrine disorders, malnutrition, psychological trauma, reduced vascular function, genetic factors, etc. Among these, genetic factors, psychological trauma, and endocrine disorders are most common. Although there is no clear evidence currently showing a causal relationship between concussion and hair loss, I personally believe that after a concussion, patients often experience symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, chronic anxiety, endocrine disorders, chronic malnutrition, and poor sleep, which might accelerate hair loss to some extent.

Can anxiety-induced hair loss heal itself?

Hair loss caused by anxiety, if mild, generally only requires mood improvement for healing. Moreover, one must avoid staying up late, as frequently doing so can weaken one's constitution and aggravate the condition. Therefore, it is advisable to include foods like black sesame and walnuts in one’s diet, as they are beneficial for hair conditioning and can significantly improve the situation. Engaging in more physical exercises is also recommended, as it can effectively increase resistance and help alleviate symptoms.
