As we mentioned in the previous articles, hair Loss affects millions of people around the world. It may be inherited from generation to generation. It may also be caused by unhealthy diet high in saturated fats, trans fats and chemicals in processing foods. Of course, vitamin deficiency causes oxygen in the blood stream to not be able to supply enough oxygen for the cells. Aging also affects our hair, causing it to grow back thinner or to not grow back at all as we mentioned in the previous articles. There are many prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs that offer to combat these problems with some success but with side effects. In this article, we will discuss how to prevent hair loss and regrow your hair with Chinese herbs
