    TLDR Ninjin'yoeito, a Japanese medicine, helped stop hair loss and improved mood in two post-COVID-19 patients.
    The document presents two cases where a traditional Japanese medicine, Ninjin'yoeito, was effective in treating hair loss in post-COVID-19 patients. The first case was a 45-year-old woman who experienced hair loss two months after being hospitalized for moderate COVID-19. The second case was a 50-year-old woman who noticed hair loss about two months after recovering from mild COVID-19 at home. In both cases, hair loss stopped one month after starting the medication, and new hair growth was observed in the second month. Additionally, the patients' mood improved as their symptoms improved. The document suggests that Ninjin'yoeito, a supplement for Qi and blood deficiency, was effective in improving the symptoms of hair loss in these patients.
