Kidney deficiency is not exclusive to men; women may also experience kidney deficiency problems, which, if left unimproved, may become a cause of hair loss. Therefore, women’s maintenance appears to be particularly important. The following will elucidate several manifestations of kidney deficiency in women and its association with hair loss, aiming to enhance public awareness of this.
Women’s peak kidney vitality is around 22 years old, gradually decreasing from 25 years old. Prominent signs of kidney deficiency in women include frequent urination, even if water intake is restricted, the number of urination remains unchanged, which interferes with daily life and work. In addition, insomnia, low mood, and lack of energy are also common symptoms of kidney deficiency. These issues are especially pronounced in white-collar workers under high pressure, where work stress combined with declining physical function makes them susceptible to hair loss problems.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, there is a certain association between kidney deficiency and hair loss. Women with poor kidney function often have dry, dull, and easily broken hair, which over time may lead to severe hair loss. Therefore, women should focus on self-care and adjustment, which can be achieved by consuming lamb soup for nourishment or incorporating foods like walnut powder and black sesame paste to strengthen hair quality and promote lustrous black hair.
