How Traditional Chinese Medicine Supports Healthy Hair Naturally
Discover how 16 traditional herbs and patented hair science come together in one thoughtfully formulated approach to healthier hair.
Most hair supplements focus on what to add—such as biotin, collagen or one trending ingredient.
Traditional Chinese Medicine starts with a different question: What does the body need to naturally support healthy hair?
Rather than looking at the hair in isolation, Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM, views healthy hair as a reflection of the body’s overall nourishment and internal balance.
This holistic philosophy inspired the formulation of Eu Yan Sang Hair Care Shou Wu+ Capsules, which combine 16 carefully selected herbs with patented AnaGain™ Nu Pea Sprout Extract.
A Holistic Approach to Healthy Hair
According to TCM, healthy hair starts long before nourishment reaches the scalp and hair roots. The formulation therefore considers several complementary functions within the body.
Step 1
Build the Foundation of Nourishment
In TCM, the Spleen and Stomach are regarded as the foundation of nourishment. They are traditionally associated with transforming food into Qi and Blood, which nourish the body.
Hair Care Shou Wu+ therefore includes herbs traditionally selected to support this foundation as part of its holistic formulation philosophy.
Step 2
Nourish and Circulate Blood
TCM traditionally associates healthy hair with sufficient Blood and the smooth circulation of nourishment throughout the body. Selected herbs in the formula are traditionally used to nourish Blood and support its circulation.
Step 3
Support Healthy Hair from the Roots
TCM has long associated the Kidneys with healthy hair and vitality. The formula includes herbs such as Prepared He Shou Wu, Eclipta and Goji Berry, which have traditionally been used in herbal formulations for hair health.
Why 16 Herbs Instead of Just One?
Traditional Chinese Medicine does not expect one ingredient to do everything. Herbs are carefully combined so that each one plays a complementary role within the overall formulation.
