Therapies

Infra red light

Infrared light, specifically in the form of low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is believed to enhance blood circulation in the scalp. Improved blood flow may deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles, promoting their growth and health.

Hair follicles can become dormant or inactive, leading to hair thinning or loss. Some studies suggest that infrared light can potentially stimulate these dormant follicles, encouraging them to enter an active growth phase.

Infrared light may stimulate the mitochondria within cells to produce more adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the energy currency of cells. Increased ATP production can provide the necessary energy for cellular processes involved in hair growth.

Infrared light may have anti-inflammatory effects, which can be beneficial for individuals experiencing hair loss due to inflammation-related conditions, such as alopecia areata.

Indian head massage

is a traditional massage technique that involves applying pressure to specific points on the scalp, neck, and shoulders. Indian head massage can help to improve blood circulation and relieve tension in the scalp.  It is also a relaxing and stress-reducing therapy that may indirectly benefit those experiencing hair loss caused by stress or anxiety. Stress and anxiety can disrupt hair growth cycles and lead to hair loss.

Reiki

The practice of Reiki involves the transfer of this healing energy from a practitioner to a recipient through the hands. The practitioner acts as a conduit or channel for the energy, allowing it to flow into the recipient's body. The belief is that when the life force energy is low or disrupted, it can lead to physical, emotional, and mental imbalances or illnesses, and Reiki aims to restore and balance this energy.

During a typical Reiki session, the recipient lies down fully clothed on a treatment table or sits comfortably in a chair. The practitioner places their hands gently on or above the recipient's body, following a specific set of hand positions that correspond to different areas or energy centers (chakras) of the body. The practitioner then channels the healing energy, allowing it to flow to the recipient. Reiki addresses imbalances in the body's energy  which can contribute to physical ailments and supports the body's natural healing processes.

 Reflexology

During a reflexology session, the practitioner will typically apply pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, or ears, which correspond to specific organs or systems in the body. Such as:

1. The Pituitary Gland: This gland is believed to play a role in hormonal regulation, and imbalances in hormones can contribute to hair loss. The reflexologist may stimulate the area corresponding to the pituitary gland, which is located on the big toes.

2. The Thyroid Gland: The thyroid gland is involved in regulating metabolism, and thyroid imbalances can impact hair health. The reflexologist might work on the area corresponding to the thyroid gland, located on the top part of the foot, around the base of the big toes.

3. The Adrenal Glands: These glands produce hormones involved in managing stress. Chronic stress can be a factor in hair loss. The reflexologist may focus on the area corresponding to the adrenal glands, which can be found on the inner arch of the foot.

4. The Circulation: Good circulation is essential for delivering nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles. The reflexologist might pay attention to reflex points related to improving overall blood circulation.

Acupuncture

Acupuncturists use Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). According to TCM, hair loss can be caused by different factors such as blood deficiency, Qi stagnation, yin or yang deficiency, or imbalances in specific organ systems. An acupuncturist will try to identify the underlying causes contributing to hair loss by examining your pulse, tongue, and other diagnostic methods.

Hair loss-related acupuncture may involve inserting fine needles into specific acupuncture points related to improving blood circulation, reducing stress, and harmonizing the body's energy flow. These points may include those on the scalp, ears, limbs, and body.

In addition to acupuncture, an acupuncturist may prescribe herbal remedies or supplements to address the root causes of hair loss. These herbal formulas are aimed at nourishing the blood, strengthening the kidneys, promoting hair growth, and balancing the body's overall energy.
