Can ginger treat hair loss?

Ginger has the effect of stimulating hair follicles on the scalp and helping hair growth. It can treat some mild cases of hair loss, such as newly appearing alopecia areata or early seborrheic alopecia caused by excessive secretion of scalp sebaceous glands. However, for more severe cases of hair loss, ginger is not very effective. For example, when the area affected by alopecia areata is particularly large and progresses to the point where eyebrows or armpit hair also begins to fall out, ginger is ineffective. Similarly, if seborrheic hair loss develops to the extent of baldness, ginger is not very effective. Under such circumstances, it is necessary to visit a dermatology department at a regular hospital and follow a treatment plan tailored to the specific symptoms using the appropriate medications. After experiencing hair loss, it is important to maintain a balanced diet and lifestyle habits, strengthen physical exercise, and enhance immunity.

What causes baby hair loss?

Hair loss in children is generally due to relatively simple reasons, mostly related to irregular eating habits or picky eating, and malnutrition. According to traditional Chinese medicine, this may be caused by a deficiency of both qi and blood. Therefore, when hair loss is noticed in children, it is advisable to visit a formal medical institution to get a blood test for trace elements to see if there is a deficiency of certain substances. Additionally, some children may indeed have internal diseases, such as kidney or liver diseases, which can lead to physical weakness and hair loss. In most cases, mild hair loss in children does not require special treatment and can gradually improve by adjusting diet and lifestyle habits.

Can hair loss on the top of the head be reversed?

Generally, hair loss at the top of the head can be reversible. Sudden hair loss on the scalp may indicate alopecia areata, which typically has a clear boundary and reveals shiny patches of skin without pain or itching. This condition is often related to high mental stress and poor sleep. Treatment can include oral administration of Compound Glycyrrhizin Capsules and L-cysteine tablets, or a combination of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, products like Yangxue Shengfa Capsules can be used, as well as topical solutions such as Minoxidil Solution or Compound Siyadan Hair Growth Solution, which can gradually restore hair. If the hair loss at the top of the head is androgenic alopecia, this usually requires combination with certain medications. For women, oral spironolactone can be used; for men, oral finasteride may be helpful. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)
