Acupuncture greatly increases blood flow, together with stimulating certain nerves, this can be beneficial to follicle growth, due to how it impacts blood circulation. Acupuncture is a very effective way of treating baldness of any type.
While hair loss has several causes, in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) it is primarily due to poor blood flow to the scalp, basically less circulation in the head area as compared to the the rest of the body. The blood is in charge of moving oxygen and nutrients, so since there is minimal blood flow to the scalp, it receives a smaller amount of oxygen and nutrients. If the circulation in the scalp is reduced, your body doesn’t have any way to support the growth of new hair or keep the current hair and follicles healthy. If you are taking supplements or following a special diet to provide support in this area, acupuncture can boost the benefits with improved circulation, carrying more oxygen and nutrients to your scalp.
