Acupunture, Chinese Medicine, Internal Herbal Remedies..

Hi Everyone!

In the last few months, I've researched Alopecia and treatments...
I was currently looking through a pamphlet at the Chiropractor's Office that discussed Acupuncture and a mixture of Internal Herbal remedies that have been taken and performed on Alopecia Patients. Although, the results are minimal has anyone ever seeked Homeopathy as a form of treatment rather then the Cortisone Injections... I just thought it was rather interesting, any thoughts???

Hi, 

Here is the link to one of the early prescriptions from the TCM doctor we saw in San Francisco. It contains the address and phone number. I dont believe the people who work there speak any english, especially the doctor, so you will need to find a chinese (cantonese) speaker to help facilitate the conversation.

We'll. I took a hot THC/CBD oil bath last week which is more like Greek Medicine. They used lots of different plants, flowers and oils while bathing. So did the Mayans. And numerous other cultures. Anyway I'm a Cali boy so that was the flower of my choice because it's my belief it is the most magical.

I spent 8k and 10 months for acupuncture and raki. Zero results. Also, another 4k for chiropractic and massage/relaxation therapy both some years ago. Stilllll no results. Not considered biologics(chemo ) but in April I may attempt steroidal shots. Minoxidil gave my a small patch of reddish hair 1cm long. Had to stop due to chest pain and BRIGHT RED face /ears and swelling. More relief in acceptance than all the $'s. Now I'm just BROKE and bald. Would've been worth it if it worked tho.If there is a natural /herbal remedy I would like more information please. Also, new here. I need friends. Any takers? ☺

Hi Siella - I am pretty new here too - I'll be your friend.  I have tried all the western medicine drugs - was starting to experience some adverse reactions so quit all of them on Christmas day.  I still have some hair on my head but it is coming out a lot faster since stopping all the meds.  I'll be shopping for a wig very soon.  I have tried acupuncture recently and he did advise me that he has only achieved up to 82% success with other patients - I will probably stop going to him.  I am covered for some of the acupuncture expense with the extended medical plan where I work.  I don't think I've fully accepted what's coming - I too am trying to find some natural/herbal remedy.

As someone who has sought alternative treatment, it's pointless, please stick to actual classical medicine.

I got nowhere with naturopathy, but I am considering TCM and the testimony above is very encouraging.

I understand being cynical about alternative therapies, but let's also remember that "classical" (I.e. Western) medicine tells us that really nothing can be done about Alopecia - sticking to that attitude seems rather hopeless!

This forum hasn't let me post this in its own thread but check this article about allergens that cause different forms of areata. The Dr used traditional Chinese lotions that can be created by any pharmecuatical lab and received amazing results.
