How long does it take to treat hair loss due to kidney deficiency?
Hair loss caused by kidney deficiency varies in treatment duration depending on the specific condition, severity, and individual constitution. Generally, if the condition is mild, it typically takes about 15-30 days of treatment to see effective improvements. However, in cases of severe kidney deficiency, treatment may need to extend between two to three months. Therefore, it is crucial to manage the condition promptly. Initial steps can include dietary adjustments for supplementation, while more severe cases may require timely medication for effective relief.

Which part of the body is moxibustion applied to for acute mastitis?
In cases of acute mastitis, it is recommended to promptly visit a formal hospital and receive timely treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Under the doctor's guidance, treatment should be administered through medication. If mastitis is not treated promptly, it can easily lead to a worsening of the condition and the formation of breast abscesses, which not only prolongs the treatment period but in severe cases, may also require surgery. Moxibustion is a slow treatment method, so it is crucial to treat acute symptoms promptly with medication. However, moxibustion can be performed on acupoints such as Tanzhong and Rugen to achieve effective regulation.

Can angular cheilitis be treated with acupuncture?
Acupuncture can also be used to treat angular cheilitis, as it primarily stimulates acupoints to effectively invigorate blood circulation, remove blood stasis, unblock meridians, and regulate the body. However, acupuncture mainly plays an auxiliary role. It is recommended for those suffering from angular cheilitis to promptly take anti-inflammatory drugs for effective improvement. During the medication period, acupuncture can be used to accelerate healing. If only acupuncture is used for treatment, the effect is relatively slow because acupuncture is a gradual process of conditioning. Therefore, it is best to use medication for timely treatment.

What should I do about recurrent colds caused by qi deficiency?
When experiencing repeated colds due to qi deficiency, it is essential to first adjust the diet and timely take medicine to improve and treat the condition. It is also crucial to pay attention to rest, avoid excessive fatigue, stay warm, and not catch cold to better improve the situation. Additionally, soaking in warm water, using a sauna, scraping therapy, or cupping can also be effective in regulating the body and significantly help in alleviating symptoms.

How to regulate hair loss due to excessive liver fire?
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.)

Is kidney qi deficiency prone to colds?
Patients with insufficient kidney qi are more likely to catch colds. This is because a deficiency in kidney qi can affect vitality, leading to slower bodily functions. Insufficient nurturing of vitality results in lethargy, lack of sleep, and reduced memory, thereby increasing the susceptibility to colds. This is especially true for male patients, where severe deficiency in kidney qi can lead to symptoms such as impotence and premature ejaculation. Additionally, it leads to lower bodily resistance and insufficient yang qi, as well as cold aversion, thus timely treatment is essential.

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.

What should I do if eczema is caused by excessive dampness?
For patients suffering from eczema caused by excessive dampness, initially, using a warm towel compress can help alleviate symptoms. It is also important to bathe frequently, maintain cleanliness, and keep dry to effectively prevent and improve the condition. Alternatively, spending more time in the sun, using a sauna, or soaking feet in warm water can also provide some relief. These methods can effectively prevent and treat the condition. Excessive dampness is often related to habitual overexertion and improper diet.

How should people with cold-induced dysmenorrhea regulate their condition?
Patients experiencing cold-induced dysmenorrhea can firstly apply a warm towel to the lower abdomen, which can effectively help treat the pain caused by a cold uterus. They can also soak their feet in hot water every night to promote blood circulation and accelerate metabolism, which can effectively alleviate the symptoms of dysmenorrhea. It is also important to keep warm and avoid getting cold. Engaging in physical exercise can effectively add some heat as well as help expel the cold from the body and increase resistance. Drinking ginger soup, which has the effect of expelling cold, can also be beneficial.

Why does kidney qi deficiency cause hair loss?
Hair loss caused by insufficient kidney qi is mostly due to poor digestion in the gastrointestinal tract, which means nutrients cannot keep up, leading to hair loss. To address kidney qi deficiency, you can consume foods like dates, brown sugar, adzuki beans, Chinese yam, and coix seed in your regular diet. These can effectively help replenish kidney qi and improve symptoms. Additionally, consuming more leeks, spring onions, or taking medication that supplements kidney qi can effectively treat the condition. It is also important to rest more, avoid frequent masturbation, and not engage in excessive sexual activity to avoid aggravating the condition. Most importantly, avoid staying up late.
