This page contains instructions on how to make herbal formulas to stimulate hair growth, and, more importantly, to support our overall energetic rebalancing efforts that address the underlying cause of Male Pattern Baldness (MPB). All herbal formulas are inspired by, or are directly used in, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurveda, or the Doctrine of Signatures as treatments correct imbalances that result in hair loss patterns.
Herbal remedies will have the most impact on our hair and well-being, due to their energetic influence on the Etheric Body. They are both applied topically, in the form of oil infusions, hair rinses, and alcohol extracts, as well as taken internally, in the form of decoction teas and alcohol extracts. Herbs can be bought in bulk online for reasonable prices. Linked pages will contain instructions for how to make each formulation and recommendations for where to buy ingredients.
In addition, there are resources for detoxification strategies, scalp stimulation tools, and mineral supplements that can further enhance our efforts. Note that any such resources on this page that are marked with an asterisk (*) are affiliate links, as well as any bulk herbs used in the formulas on the linked pages.
HERBAL HAIR TONICS
Herbal Hair Tonics are strong herbal teas, known as Decoctions, that treat the underlying energetic pathologies that manifest as Male Pattern Baldness (MPB). Decoctions are made by simmering select Hair herbs for 1-1.5 hours in water until the essence of the plant matter has been infused into the liquid. The result is a dense, broth-like, tea that is drunk twice daily.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the aim of the herb, or herbal blend, is to manipulate the three body constituents (Blood, Moisture, and Qi) in one or more of the five organ systems (Kidney, Liver, Heart, Lung, and Spleen) to correct the imbalance in the two polarities (Yin and Yang) that is causing the disease.
The herbs in the following formulas mainly target the Kidney and Liver organ networks, working to restore Yin energy and Yin energy function to the whole Body. These are the organ systems that are most negatively impacted by a chronic male, or Yang, energy imbalance, and are largely responsible for Hair growth, or loss. Outside of Hair, these formulas are helpful for anyone suffering from age-related diseases, as they mitigate the effects of male energy "burn-out" caused by stress, over-work, too much thinking, too much "doing", and even too much strenuous exercise.
Protocol - Choose One Decoction. Drink twice per day:
Kidney Yin Tonic
The Kidneys are the foundational Hair organ, and Kidney Yin is the foundational Hair function.
Kidney Yin stores the Essence, our vital materials, that the body uses to make our Hair and
all of us. Weak Hair is the result of a depleted Essence and run-down Kidney Yin, and pattern
loss (skull expansion) is a pathological byproduct of this imbalanced state, otherwise known as
Kidney Yin Deficiency.
The herbs in this formula work to comprehensively correct a Kidney Yin deficiency by replenishing
our Yin fluids, building back our Essence, and restoring the body's cooling capacity to counteract
the Heat generated from a chronic male-imbalance. In addition, the herbs help clear the Heat that
has accumulated in the body, especially in the Liver and Blood, and strengthen digestion, addressing
the basic energetic disturbances that manifest with this disorder.
This formula will have the greatest impact, initially, on the energetic factors
that are underlying the expression of MPB.
Drink twice daily, 3-5 days x week. Then, slowly taper frequency over time, to 1-2 days x week,
in favor of the Er Zhi Tonic, as deficiency
symptoms improve (e.g. insomnia, restlessness, irritability, night sweats).

Liver Yin Tonic
Liver Yin suffers equally from Kidney Yin
deficiency, because both organ networks draw their Yin energy from the same origin. Therefore,
Yin Deficiency patterns often eventually manifest as Liver system disorders,
such as Blood Deficiency, Liver Qi Stagnation, and Liver Yang Rising, the latter of which
is the likely cause of Skull Expansion (MPB).
This formula combines Liver specific herbs with the base Kidney Yin Tonic formula, in order to
comprehensively support Liver Yin function and help it to generate Blood.
Drink twice daily, 1-2 days x week, continuously over time, in order to mitigate Skull Expansion
and maintain proper Liver and Kidney Yin function.

Er Zhi Tonic
The formula contains only two herbs, one of which is Eclipta. This is an herb that is revered in TCM, Ayurveda, and
Homeopathy for hair growth. Together with Ligustrum fruit, these two herbs strengthen Kidney Yin and replenish
the Essence, but do so in a way that makes it well-suited for long-term maintenance. This formula should
eventually supplanting the Kidney Yin Tonic as the primary daily tonic, and serve as the base formula
on which to build all other Hair, Yin, and Essence tonics.
Drink twice daily, 2-3 days x week at first. Then, increase frequency over time to 3-5 days x week.
Additional herbs can be added to enhance therapeutic effect in various regards, including
Hair.

Hair Qi Tonic
This formula tonifies Kidney Yang Yang in order
activate Kidney Yin and produce Kidney Qi, the functional energy of the Kidneys that
actually grows the Hair. In addition, Kidney Yin and Essence are replenished using key
TCM Hair herbs, revered for darkening and strengthing the Hair.
Drink twice daily, 1 x every 2 weeks. Then, increase over time to 2-3 x per week as Yin Deficiency symptoms
improve.

Topical Oils
While Herbal Hair Tonics treat the systemic imbalance associated with MPB, Topical Oils treat the negative effects of the imbalance of the disorder at the Hair follicle. Topical Oils are most prominently used in Vedic Medicine (Ayurveda). They are made by first decocting the essence of the herbs into teas, then infusing it into oil using a slow cooking process. Application of the oil bypasses the digestive process, penetrates deep into the skin layers, and delivers the action of the decocted herbs to directly to the scalp. It is a potent and necessary complement to the energetic work of herbal tonics, in order to comprehensively treat MPB.
The following herbal oil infusion is the most famous Hair oil in Ayurveda. It contains three herbal constituents (Bhringraj, Brahmi, and Amla). Bhringraj is the primary herb, and is a familiar one in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Bhringraj is Mo Han Lian, or Eclipta. In topical form, it is one of the most potent herbs for stimulating Hair growth. Click on the details for information on how to make it.
Bhringraj Oil
Eclipta is an herb renown in both Ayurveda and TCM for its effect on the Hair.
In Ayurveda, it is called bhringraj, meaning "King of Bees", for its ecological use, but kesharaj,
meaning "King of Hair", in regards to it's therapeutic use.
As a Vedic hair therapy, it is infused into an oil and
applied topically to cool and detoxify the scalp. This helps repair the damage and blockages
impacting the energy meridians, which restores proper delivery of life-force (prana) and
vital nutrients to the Hair.
Apply 3 x per week, ONLY on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday to align with Vedic Astrology auspices.

* Copper Grounding Rod
Grounding sheets come with a wire that plugs into the outlet in the wall. I don't trust the electrical system in my house to not inadvertently radiate me with electrical backdraft. So, I got the extended wire with the copper rod to connect the grounding sheets directly into the Earth.

All of our cells and tissue react to the type of light that they are exposed to. Therefore, subjecting ourselves to hours of blue light, even while wearing blue light glasses, is still going to disrupt in our biological functions.
