What should I do if I have severe hair loss after giving birth?

If you experience severe hair loss after giving birth, you should first go to the hospital for relevant examinations to identify the cause. It is important to receive symptomatic treatment because there are two main reasons for hair loss: physiological and pathological. The physiological reason is that the growth and loss of hair are in a balanced state. Simply put, the amount of hair loss is small. If it is a long-term and large-area hair loss, it may indicate a pathological reason. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, hair loss is mainly caused by blood deficiency and yin deficiency.

Next, we will learn several recipes for hair care, which are effective for both physiological hair loss and hair care.

After combining the decoctions, simmer over low heat to concentrate until it becomes thicker, add 300 grams of honey, bring to a boil and turn off the heat. After it cools, bottle it for later use.
