Effects of Platycladus orientalis leaves on hair loss

Platycladus orientalis leaves have certain efficacy in treating hair loss, especially for hair loss caused by alopecia areata due to blood heat and wind generation, and other hair loss caused by a hot constitution. People with a hot constitution have strong liver fire, which consumes yin blood and cannot nourish the hair. At the same time, it leads to a chain reaction including dysfunction of other internal organs in the body and emotional disorders, which can easily lead to alopecia areata. Platycladus orientalis leaves are cold in nature and belong to the liver, lung, and large intestine meridians. They have the effects of cooling blood and stopping bleeding, dispersing swelling and heat, and calming the nerves. Therefore, they are suitable for people with a hot constitution to prevent hair loss.

A friend once asked: I used Platycladus orientalis leaves to wash my hair to treat hair loss, but found that the effect was not obvious or had no effect. Yes, it is certain that washing hair with Platycladus orientalis leaves can prevent hair loss in those with hot constitutions. However, to treat hair loss, it needs to be formulated with other Chinese herbal medicines in a scientific ratio. The characteristic of Chinese medicine prescriptions is that they are composed of multiple Chinese herbal medicines in scientific proportions. Often, using a certain Chinese herbal medicine can prevent certain diseases, but for treatment, multiple or even more Chinese herbal medicines are needed to build a monarch-minister relationship.

The reason why people with a hot constitution develop gray hair early is that their blood is hot, "the liver blood and kidney essence are depleted and the qi and blood are weak". Nutrients cannot be smoothly transported to the hair follicle tissue through the blood, and the blood cannot nourish the hair, leading to gray hair. Using fresh Platycladus orientalis leaves to wash your hair two or three times a month can prevent this type of gray hair. This is because the Platycladus orientalis leaves can blacken hair, cool blood and stop bleeding, dissipate heat and toxins, and improve the properties of the liver and blood.

Using Platycladus orientalis leaves to wash your hair to treat gray hair is the same as using it to treat hair loss. The therapeutic effect cannot be achieved by using it alone. The treatment of hair loss and gray hair needs to start from multiple aspects in order to achieve the purpose of hair growth and black hair. Using a certain Chinese herbal medicine alone to treat gray hair and hair loss will not only fail to achieve the desired effect, but will also make the condition worse.
