(gentle cleansers, ceramide/urea moisturizers), identify triggers, optimize diet/protein/sleep/stress.
Topical anti‑inflammatories/antimicrobials, antifungals when fungal.
Individualized herbal formulas (clear Heat/Damp, nourish Blood/Yin), acupuncture for inflammation and stress modulation; topical herbal rinses/soaks as adjuncts.
– Liver Blood + Kidney Jing: roots of growth and color.
– Spleen Qi: source of Blood; weak Spleen → poor nourishment.
Patterns: Liver–Kidney deficiency/Jing deficiency; Blood deficiency with Wind‑Dryness; Damp‑Heat or Blood‑Heat of scalp.
Topical/oral minoxidil; finasteride/dutasteride (men) or spironolactone (women when appropriate); PRP, microneedling, LLLT; transplant for advanced AGA.
Formulas that tonify Liver–Kidney and nourish Blood, clear Heat/Damp when present; acupuncture for microcirculation/stress; diet & sleep coaching.
Your Let It Grow aligns here (anagen support + gentle DHT balance + Liver–Kidney/Blood nourishment).
Sensitive to protein intake, iron/ferritin, zinc, biotin status (true biotin deficiency is uncommon), thyroid function, and systemic inflammation.
Poor microcirculation and high oxidative stress impair follicle/nail-matrix output.
Chemo, retinoids, severe illness, postpartum shifts, and crash dieting can trigger both telogen effluvium (hair shedding) and brittle/peeling nails (onychoschizia).
“Hair is the surplus of Blood; nails are the flowers of the sinews.”
Both rely on Liver Blood to nourish and Kidney Jing to root growth.
Common patterns:
Diffuse thinning + brittle, peeling nails.
Itchy, oily scalp with shedding + inflamed nail folds.
Identify the type (AGA vs TE vs AA vs traction vs scarring) via history, exam/dermoscopy; order targeted labs (e.g., ferritin, TSH ± androgens in women with hyperandrogenism). Critical Care Medicine
Start evidence-based baseline: topical minoxidil (or low-dose oral minoxidil if appropriate) ± finasteride/dutasteride (men) or spironolactone (women). Add PRP or microneedling for faster gains.
– Liver Blood nourishes nail plate; Spleen builds Blood; Kidney supports long‑standing weakness; Damp‑Heat around nail folds drives infections.
Patterns: Blood deficiency (thin, peeling), Liver‑Qi stagnation/Blood stasis (slow growth, ridges), Damp‑Heat (paronychia/fungal).
Reduce wet work; moisturize (urea/glycerin oils); gentle filing; antifungals when fungal; treat dermatoses.
Constitutional formulas (nourish Liver–Kidney/Blood, transform Damp‑Heat), peri‑ungual herbal soaks, acupuncture for local circulation.
Yeast Away as internal terrain support for recurrent fungal nails (GI/pH/Damp‑Heat focus) alongside standard antifungal hygiene and therapy.
Acupuncture is commonly used to improve scalp microcirculation, modulate inflammation, and reduce stress, all supportive for AGA/TE care while patients continue topical/oral therapies. (High-quality RCTs are still developing; protocols are individualized.)
Book a consult to map your pattern, then start a step‑wise program that’s TCM‑rooted and evidence‑informed—with clear timelines, safety guidance, and product support.
What it is: an internal adjunct for people with nail fungal issues (and other yeast/fungal tendencies). Built on a Long Dan Xie Gan Tang base and enhanced with targeted botanicals to support a body terrain less hospitable to yeast while calming Damp‑Heat and rebalancing the GI tract’s pH.
Targets: systemic Damp‑Heat and microbial overgrowth; GI comfort and pH balance to support a healthier microbial environment and better nutrient absorption for nail regrowth.
How it works (two blends):
Pairing: confirm diagnosis; debride thickened plates; keep feet dry; rotate breathable socks/footwear; apply a topical antifungal when indicated; reduce dietary sugar/refined starches.
Safety: not a substitute for antifungal drugs when needed; avoid in pregnancy/nursing; consult a clinician if on prescriptions; discontinue with adverse symptoms.
What it does: Targets the shared biology of hair and nails keratin production, micro‑circulation, and scalp/nail‑bed balanceto support thicker hair and tougher nails.
Who it’s for: Anyone seeking fuller hair, fewer broken nails, and a gentle, TCM‑guided approach.
Design logic (two pathways):
1) Activate growth and support microcirculation and matrix biology Biota/Platycladus, Morus (mulberry leaf), and Eclipta align with anagen‑entry signaling in lab models; Centella and Bacopa add antioxidant, collagen/dermal‑matrix, and microvascular support helpful for scalp and nail matrix/bed.
2) Balance scalp hormones & calm inflammation — saw palmetto provides gentle 5‑α‑reductase pathway modulation and nettle contributes anti‑inflammatory tone, appropriate for AGA‑type thinning.
Result: A unified formula for the “hair–nail axis” if hair improves, nails follow.
Use: men and women seeking density support and nail‑strength synergy; pair with lifestyle and, when needed, medical therapies.
What it does: Calms visible inflammation, supports a clear complexion, and helps balance the skin–microbiome–pH triangle while backing the body’s natural detox pathways.
Who it’s for: Complexions prone to redness, puffiness, rashes, or acne‑type breakouts who want a gentle, holistic reset.
Key botanicals (TCM → modern rationale):
Result: Not only “clearing,” but also repairing calm today, resilient tomorrow.
These botanicals are rooted in TCM pattern thinking; use them alongside gentle skincare, balanced meals, and practitioner guidance. Supplements support health and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.
Consistency beats intensity. Strong hair, resilient nails, and clear skin start with the basics kept every day, not just during flares.
Aim for 7–9 hours nightly. Keep the same sleep/wake time, dim lights 1–2 hours before bed, and park screens outside the bedroom.
5–10 minutes of breathwork, a brisk walk, brief journaling, or meditation. Acupuncture can help regulate stress and inflammation consider weekly sessions during flares, then monthly maintenance.
Build meals around adequate protein, iron-rich foods, colorful vegetables/fruit, and healthy fats (e.g., omega-3s). Hydrate well; limit ultra-processed, very sugary, or alcohol-heavy choices.
At the first small changes (extra shedding, brittle nails, new breakouts), tighten sleep/stress/nutrition, schedule acupuncture, and adjust products. For support, consider Let It Grow (hair + nail synergy) and Glisten N Glow (skin calm/clarity); for recurrent fungal nails, pair medical care with Yeast Away as internal terrain support.
Iron/ferritin, thyroid, zinc, vitamin D/B12 correcting deficiencies accelerates results.
Bottom line: No stress, sleep well, eat real food day by day. Add acupuncture and targeted formulas early, not late, and let steady habits do the heavy lifting.
