TLDR Balancing Yin and Yang can help treat hair loss.
The document discussed the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approach to treating androgenetic alopecia, focusing on the concepts of "Ascending" and "Descending." It suggested that the core issue was an imbalance of Yin and Yang, with symptoms manifesting as the failure of turbid Yin to descend and Clear Yang to ascend. The proposed treatment aimed to harmonize Yin and Yang by facilitating the descent of turbid Yin and the ascent of Clear Yang, thereby promoting hair growth.
