In this episode Dr. Motley connects the dots between hair loss and spleen trouble in TCM and emphasizes the importance of looking at past infections and your emotional health. It’s all connected in Traditional Chinese Medicine! This podcast also gets into dietary changes, herbal remedies and other healing modalities that may support hair growth. Takeaways Hair loss can be linked to organ weaknesses, particularly the spleen. The spleen plays a crucial role in producing red and white blood cells. Past infections can impact current health, including hair loss. Emotional health is connected to physical health, especially the spleen. Herbal remedies can support spleen function and hair health. Dietary choices, particularly sugar intake, affect spleen functionality. Red light therapy and infrared saunas can aid in lymphatic health. Understanding the body's signals is key to improving health. Self-care and emotional balance are essential for overall well-being. Holistic approaches can provide significant benefits for hair loss.
