Can I perm my hair after postpartum hair loss?

During postpartum hair loss, it is not advisable to perm your hair, as perming can accelerate hair loss. The process of perming involves the use of chemical agents, which contain toxic substances, including heavy metals. These can irritate the hair follicles and cause severe hair loss. Additionally, during breastfeeding, the toxic substances from perming can penetrate the scalp and enter the bloodstream, and then make their way into the baby's body through breast milk, causing adverse effects on the baby. The chemicals used in hair perming can also potentially cause allergic reactions in women, and if the baby comes into contact with these substances, they can also trigger allergies. Therefore, for the health of both the mother and the baby, it is best to avoid perming hair at this time.

Can kidney deficiency type hair loss heal itself?

Kidney deficiency hair loss cannot heal by itself; it requires regular diet adjustments or the use of medications that supplement kidney deficiency for effective treatment. Do not let it heal on its own, as neglecting it might worsen the condition and lead to other symptoms, so timely treatment is crucial. Foods that supplement kidney deficiency, such as leeks, white radishes, donkey-hide gelatin, and goji berries, should be consumed regularly as they can effectively help in replenishing kidney deficiency and improve symptoms. It is also very important to rest adequately, avoid excessive fatigue, and most importantly, avoid staying up late.

Is night sweats and hair loss due to kidney yin deficiency?

In Chinese medicine, night sweats are considered to be a result of an imbalance between Yin and Yang, with a deficiency in Yin Qi and an excess in Yang Qi. This deficiency in Yin leads to internal heat, which causes the leakage of body fluids, manifesting as excessive sweating during sleep. Hair loss can have many causes, including physiological hair loss, aging-related hair loss, and hereditary hair loss, so it is not necessarily due to a deficiency in kidney Yin. However, if a person experiences both night sweats and hair loss, it is possible to first consider the presence of a kidney Yin deficiency causing these symptoms.

Can kidney deficiency hair loss be treated by simply nourishing the kidneys?

Kidney deficiency type hair loss is caused by kidney deficiency and a shortage of kidney essence, leading to hair loss. It can also be caused by excessive physical exhaustion, mental stress, and a deficiency of trace elements within the body. Diet adjustments can be made to address this, such as supplementing with collagen-rich foods including black sesame, black beans, wood ear mushrooms, and goji berries. It's important to maintain a pleasant mood, relax, eat less spicy and stimulating foods, ensure adequate sleep, avoid overexertion and staying up late, and refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol. Supplementing with vitamins is also beneficial.

Can hair loss due to kidney deficiency grow back in six months?

Hair loss due to kidney deficiency, which has been occurring for half a year, generally only requires timely improvement of kidney deficiency. Additionally, in daily diet, consuming more walnuts, black sesame seeds, and black soybeans can effectively help alleviate the condition, and some patients may experience hair regrowth. Moreover, it is important to avoid consuming overly spicy and stimulating foods, as excessive intake can increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, leading to functional disorders in the body, which can exacerbate the condition. It is recommended to pay more attention to rest and avoid frequently staying up late.
