This is part 4 in The Roots of Hair Loss

The root of your hair is like a miniature world. Discover the causes of hair loss and possible ways to prevent—or even reverse it.

In ancient Chinese mythology, Pangu is said to have created the heavens and the earth. His muscles became the land, his blood formed the rivers, his breath turned into wind and clouds, and his skin and hair transformed into the flowers, grasses, and trees that cover the earth.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) regards hair in a similar way—growing from the body like plants from the soil.

When the root causes are found, healing hair loss could be possible—at least for some people.
