Doctor Yu’s Clinical Notes XIV: Healing Spot Baldness and Full Baldness with Ease | 快速治愈斑秃和全秃的方法

When I started my clinic more than a decade ago, I had several patients who I still remember till now. One of them was a lady suffering from facial paralysis. Before coming to me she had this condition persisting for months. I treated her for a while and she fully recovered. Another one was a Filipino girl, who came to me for sciatica problems ( I started my clinic treating sciatica, herniated disc, “RA” and joint problems). After she was healed, I found she had several bald spots of various size on her head. She told me she had been having these spots for more than 3 years during which she tried all methods: special cream, hormone, and nothing worked. I suggested her to try my method, and it let her grow back all the hair after only 10 sessions. She was the first hair loss patient I treated in Vancouver. From then on I added hair loss to the list of problems I specialized to treat.

Recently I had an interesting case. A patient came for help for full baldness after having the problem for 10 years. In fact, he had the problem fixed more than 10 years ago, after receiving treatment from another acupuncturist. After several years, exactly 10 years ago the problem came back again. The patient could not find the acupuncturist who treated him the first time, so he came to me after seeing my story online. He told me that this acupuncturist was an Iranian who had studied Traditional Chinese Medicine in China. To my surprise, the points this acupuncturist chose points that were very similar to what I use for the treatment. Therefore I started to treat him. Even his problem was very bad, he still grew some new hair after 10 sessions.

You might find impossible to see effects so quickly, but the theory is indeed not complicated. Our hair has a life cycle of 3 months. This patients had the problem for 10 years so what cause the problem should be solved already. Then why he still had no hair? This is like the switch for a light. Well practiced acupuncture can turn on the switch so the hair can start growing again.

A full baldness patient need to have treatment to heal. In contrast, many spot baldness (alopecia) patients can be healed without treatment. Sometimes these patients do not know they have the problem until the barber see it and tell them. This kind of spot baldness are usually results of panic, insomnia, and stress. Only a few patients of this condition cannot recover by themselves. Therefore, if you are suffering from this condition, except for these few individuals, you can try these methods:

Sleep well. You need to sleep before 11pm, or even better at 10pm;

Be positive and get rid of negative emotions. This is actually the foundation of healing hair loss. If you cannot completely get rid of insomnia, anxiety, or any problems caused by a deficiency of blood, you can try acupuncture as a way of natural healing. Do not easily take medicine, because some anti-hypochondria medicine can also cause hair loss.

Take a piece of Ginger, cut open, and rub the ginger on your head where the bald spots present. Rub until the skin is slightly brushed. Do this 1 to 2 times per day;

Taking 15 grams of oriental arborvitae and caulis impatientis, boiling together for 20 mins, and use the water to wash your head.

However, if full baldness or spot baldness patients start to have their eyebrow and pubic hair falling, or spot baldness patients fail to heal by themselves within half a year, they should seek professional treatment ASAP.

记得刚从中国来温哥华行医时，有几个病例让我印象深刻，至今仍然记得。其中有一位严重面瘫的女病人，得病数月后没有任何好转。经过我的治疗，她就迅速痊愈了。另外一位是来自菲律宾的女孩，她首先因为坐骨神经痛来求治。在治愈后我发现她有数处圆形大小不一的秃发区。病人说有三年多了，曾用过药膏，打过激素，因没有效果而放弃了治疗。我劝她尝试一下我的治疗，结果十次之后头发就全部长出来了---她是我来温哥华以后的第一位脱发病人，因此我一直记得。从那时起，我就在治疗腰椎间盘凸出，“RA”，关节病之外，另开始脱发症的专门治疗。

最近有一个病例很有意思。这位病人十几年前有过全秃的病史，整个头部头发全脱落。经过一名针灸师治疗后治愈，但是十年前病人又再次发病。由于没能找到当时的医师，经过多名针灸师治疗，尝试了各种办法都无效果。在网络上看到我后，这位病人才来找我就医。经过交谈，我得知之前那位治好他的医师的治疗理念竟然同我相同。这位医师是伊朗人，曾经在中国学习中医。不知他是否跟我在同一学校，连穴位的应用都出奇的相似。于是我开始给他治疗，虽然他情况严重，但是经过10次治疗后，已经可以见到新的头发生成了。

这么快治好，也许你会觉得这样很不可思议。其实道理是这样的：头发的生长周期为三个月，而这个病人的病程有近十年。当初得病的原因已经早就解除了，之所以没有好转，就好像电灯的开关没有合上。正确的针灸就像那个开关，一旦正确合上，头发就会快速生长。

全秃的病人不会自愈，需要治疗才能再长出头发。不过，在日常生活中有很多斑秃的病人其实不用治疗也可以痊愈。有时候甚至他们自己都没发现，直到理发师发现以后他们才知道。这种斑秃一般是跟一时的精神紧张，失眠，压力过大等有关。只有少数病人不能自愈。除了这少数病人必须接受专业医师治疗外，大家都可以采取以下方式促进痊愈：
