In Five-Element Theory, we understand that the hair on our head is governed by the Water Element💦
More specifically, the Kidney.
Thick, lustrous, abundant hair can be a reflection of strong Kidney essence and deep reserves. It is an outward expression of Jing.
By contrast, thinning, brittle hair or premature greying can indicate depletion of Kidney reserves, or when Jing is being particularly taxed, for example during the post-partum phase, prolonged stress or period of grief.
Did you know that Five-Element Acupuncture can be supportive for hair health, by working with the body’s natural capacity for homeostasis, nourishment, growth and renewal.
