Let's face it, hair loss can be a real bummer. Whether it's a receding hairline, thinning all over, or those dreaded clumps in the shower drain, hair loss can knock a dent in your confidence. You must have tried every shampoo, conditioner, and hair growth product under the sun, but nothing seems to work. But wait! Before you resign yourself to a life of hats, there's an ancient practice that will just surprise you: acupuncture.
Acupuncture: Not Just for Needles and Chi (but that too!)
Acupuncture is a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It involves inserting thin needles into specific points on your body. In TCM, these points are believed to be connected to energy pathways called meridians. By stimulating these points, acupuncturists aim to restore the flow of energy (qi) throughout your body
So, how does this translate to hair loss?
Here's the thing: hair loss can have many causes, from stress and genetics to hormonal imbalances and scalp issues. Acupuncture can potentially address some of these factors. By promoting relaxation and reducing stress hormones, acupuncture may create a more favourable environment for hair growth. Additionally, acupuncture will improve blood circulation to the scalp, which can nourish hair follicles and promote hair growth.
But is there any science behind this?
While Western medicine is still catching up with TCM, research is showing promise for acupuncture in hair loss. Studies have found that acupuncture can increase hair growth and thickness in some people. It's important to note that everyone responds differently, and acupuncture may not be a magic bullet for everyone. However, it's a safe and natural approach that's worth considering.
What can you expect at Ayushyaa Clinic?
At Ayushyaa Clinic, our experienced acupuncturists will work with you to understand your hair loss concerns and develop a personalised treatment plan. During your first session, they'll discuss your medical history and examine your scalp. Then, they'll insert thin, sterile needles into specific acupoints. The needles usually stay in place for 25-30 minutes while you relax in a comfortable environment. Most people find acupuncture to be a very calming experience.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions you'll need depends on the severity of your hair loss and your individual response to treatment. Some people see results after a few sessions, while others may need a series of treatments spread over several weeks. Consistency is key!
