Dr. He Haochen
Insufficient qi and blood, or qi deficiency, may lead to hair loss. Chronic illness, physical weakness, picky eating habits, or excessive mental stress causing psychological imbalance can result in insufficient qi and blood. Prolonged qi deficiency may deprive hair of proper nourishment, leading to hair loss. When there is a deficiency in qi and blood, patients may take medications such as Bazhen Pills or Guipi Pills under medical guidance for regulation and treatment.
