Special acupuncture needles enhance filiform acupuncture to encourage hair regrowth for patients with alopecia (baldness).
Acupuncture produces greater positive patient outcomes than drug therapy for patients with alopecia areata. Specialized acupuncture needle protocols deliver superior patient outcomes over standard acupuncture with herbs. The addition of Qi Xing acupuncture to filiform acupuncture plus herbs significantly increases hair regrowth. Filiform acupuncture combined with Mei Hua acupuncture produces superior patient outcomes over topical minoxidil combined with oral multivitamins. Take a look at two important studies in today’s update, one on generalized baldness and the other on circular patch baldness.
Acupuncture reduces hair loss and promotes hair regrowth for patients with alopecia (baldness). A protocolized investigation by Lin et al. at the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine determined that administering acupuncture with the Qi Xing (seven star) needle increases the rate of positive patient outcomes. Patients receiving only standard acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine had an 84.4% total effective rate. However, adding the Qi Xing needle protocol increased the total effective rate to 90.9%. Moreover, patients receiving Qi Xing acupuncture had a 2.62 ℃ increase in temperature of the scalp. The results were measured at the end of the full treatment course. The researchers note that the application of acupuncture and herbs “can efficiently control hair loss and promote hair growth.”
