Hello. This is Dalimchae Korean Medicine Clinic.

Itchy Scalp and Thinning Hair - It is Not a Simple Problem

Have you ever felt anxious about an itchy scalp and clumps of hair falling out after shampooing? If your hair is thinning and your scalp is red and sore, it might not be just a skin problem. Facing a thinning scalp and limp hair can cause deep stress and worry about hair loss.

These symptoms significantly reduce quality of life and negatively impact self-esteem. Your scalp reflects your body's health. It is crucial to find the underlying cause beyond surface symptoms.

💡 Key Answer 3 most common causes of itchy scalp and thinning hair: ① Scalp inflammation and poor circulation / ② Stress and autonomic imbalance / ③ Weakened immunity and constitutional factors Dalimchae Korean Medicine Clinic corrects the internal environment that causes symptoms through Constitutional Improvement, allowing healthy hair to grow again.

Symptoms like itching and thinning are caused by multiple factors. Seborrheic dermatitis is a common condition involving itching, scaling, and inflammation that can lead to hair loss if neglected. In Korean medicine, this is seen as an internal imbalance rather than just a skin disease.

Main causes include 'Heat Metabolism Disorder' due to stress, lack of sleep, and poor diet. Heat accumulates in the scalp, causing scalp heat, which triggers inflammation in follicles and promotes thinning.

At Dalimchae, we see these symptoms as a 'warning light' for overall body imbalance. It involves issues with Wind (風), Heat (熱), Blood (血), and Essence (精), and dysfunction of organs like the Lungs, Liver, Heart, and Kidneys.

Stress disrupts the autonomic nervous system, hindering circulation and worsening inflammation. The 'Gut-Brain Axis' also connects gut health to scalp health. Toxins from gut bacteria can spread via blood, worsening inflammation.

We provide personalized treatment to lower scalp heat, improve circulation, and strengthen immunity.

A 2020 systematic review in the Journal of Korean Medicine Ophthalmology & Otolaryngology & Dermatology analyzed 22 studies with 1,464 patients, showing significant improvement in hair loss with herbal medicine, acupuncture, and topical treatments.

Also, a 2023 study in the Korean Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery showed that Morus alba root extract (MARE) shampoo significantly improved hair density and hair shaft thickness after 8 weeks (p<0.05). Average hair diameter increased from 50.83 ± 8.97 μm to 55.56 ± 9.31 μm.

Our goal is to create a body where symptoms don't recur.
