Traditional Chinese Medical Theory
The Cognition of the Mysterious Oriental Medical Science toward Hair Loss
In terms of the Chinese medical science, the dissertation regarding haircan be found in The YellowEmperor¡¯s Internal Classic (PlainQuestions) at very early time. The book describes the relations between hair and growth in male and female respectively, revealing the ties between the appearance, growth, decline and fall of hair and physical condition of whole body, especially the physiological ties with main and collateral channels in human body. The Yellow Emperor¡¯s Internal Classic¡¤chapter of Generating of Five Viscera gives the related information on the physiological pathology of hair, emphasizing the relations between hair and internal organs and blood. For instance, ¡°lung governs skin and hair¡±; ¡°liver stores blood, and hair is the remains of blood¡±; ¡°kidney is connected with the bone, its luxuriance is the hair. Therefore, ¡ bone will ache and hair will fall off if the sweet food is overeaten.¡±
There were relatively systematic descriptions on hair loss in the ancient documents of traditional Chinese medicine. Chao Yuanfang, a noted doctor in the Sui Dynasty, gave a further explanation on the physiology of hair and the cause, mechanism and name of the hair loss disease in General Treatise on the Cause and Symptoms of Diseases. For example ¡°When wind evil existed on head, if there was partial insufficiency, the hair lost, muscle withered as big as a coin or a finger. Hair would neither grow nor itch. So it is called ¡®a head licked by ghost¡¯¡±.
Before the Jin Dynasty, the hair loss is said to have the relations with the feebleness of kidney, vigor, qi and blood. In the Jin and Yuan dynasties, Zhang Zihe, one of the four eminent doctors at that time, pointed out ¡°if hairs become white and fall off at young age or there is a lot of scurf, it means the blood is too hot.¡± The theory on hot blood leading to sparseness of hair, which was first put forward, enriched the theory of hair loss on the diagnosis and treatment based on an overall analysis of the illness and the patient¡¯s condition, which has great significance to the cognition and recovery of hair loss.

On the basis of cognition of traditional medical science to hair loss, according to the theory on the diagnosis and treatment based on an overall analysis of the illness and the patient¡¯s condition, Zhangguang 101, employing the modern science & technology and modern technique, selects the pure natural Chinese herbal plants that are in favor of the growth of hair as materials, and has developed the products with the functions of hair nourishing, hair shedding proof, hair regrowth, hair cleaning and hair care. In the meantime, Zhangguang 101 adopts the overall concept of traditional medicine, forming a complete set of plan to cure hair loss.
