The hair on the scalp arises from the Kidney Jing or Essence and is a reflection of the healthful exuberance thereof.
Rich, dark and thick hair indicates free flowing and abundant Kidney Essence which relates closely to the genetic blueprint but not entirely - it is also the expression of genes via free and unimpeded flow.
Persons who are balding could be one of a few things...
Essence deficiency is one, these people will typically bald early or never have hair to begin with and there is often deformation from birth or bone problems and cognitive impairment is often seen in these people. Their digestion is inclined to be terrible and often underlying chronic disease presents very early (people with a hole in the heart etc.). The eyesight and hearing of these people is likely to be very poor.
Blood deficiency can cause baldness, as blood is required to nourish the scalp as the 'soil' for the hair 'trees'. If the soil is bad or lacks moisture and nutrients, the hair falls out. These people often go bald very quickly (ie overnight) but there is hope for them as rebuilding blood with typically bring the hair back. They are more likely to have a receding hair line than go completely bald. They will also have accompanying dizziness, poor memory, possible heart palpitations, a sallow complexion (no gloss) and are often fatigued and find it difficult to get to sleep. Dryness of the eyes is another significant symptom in these people and they often suffer from vertex and occipital headaches. Often the triggering event for balding is internal or external wind which is characterized by muscle stiffness or frequent involuntarily muscle movement of any kind.
Kidney Yin deficiency can produce balding, and is characterized by excessive energy and restlessness, afternoon fever, night sweating and difficultly staying asleep, lumbar, hip or knee pain, headaches in the temples and occupit and thirst which is not overly strong but ever present.
Any major stagnation of qi or blood can also prevent essence, Yin or blood from reaching the scalp to nourish the hair, and this can be brought about by long term or strong emotional stimuli, or physical trauma (stops blood as in bruising). This kind of balding is likely to present in a patchy irregular balding pattern which gets worse over time. Often there is major digestive problems and pain is often implicated here. This is the kind of person whose body appears to be fine and nourished in some areas and severely deficient in others. Often these people also have problems with efficient fluid metabolism and as such may suffer from fluid build up or phlegm congestion. Constipation, or alternative constipation and diarrhea is highly likely with irritability, inflexibility both mentally and physically and loss of ability to gain an erecting with the presence of a functioning libido is possible in men. The pulse of such a person will be wiry, or irregular which indicates stagnation of qi and/or blood.
I will post some remedies for the above issues in the coming days/week
