Alopecia    Alopecia is diffuse  or local.  ETHIOLOGY  AND PATHOGENESIS. Reasons leading to it are divided into two groups: internal (by disturbance of cerebral blood circulation, for the different reasons - neurosis, the craniocerebral injuries, etc, which lead to angiospasm of the scalp of head and disturbance of its microcirculation, endocrine disturbances, the internal poisoning of organism because of the disturbances of the function of the liver, kidneys, bowels, which are called to clean poisons from organism, which are formed as the result of its vital activity) and external (dustiness of locality, which brings to the thrombosis of the times of the skin of the scalp of head, why is disrupted “respiration” and heat exchange of scalp, and against the background this bulbs “choke” and perish, from the incorrect selection of shampoo, soaps with the washing of head and the allergic reaction of the skin of head on them   and so forth), which disrupt the nourishment of the scalp of head; also disrupting the nourishment of the bulbs of the hair of scalp, that also leads first to pathologic changes in the hair (it is lost the luster of hair, hair they become thin, brittle, they break) and in the final analysis they fall out. Thus, explains European medicine.  We (specialists of oriental medicine) with them are completely agreeable, but at the basis we see not only disturbance of the inflow of the blood to the bulbs of hair because of what it is disrupted their nourishment, also, subsequently precipitation, and also the disturbance of the circulation of vital energy in the head and in the scalp of head, which brings as to the disturbance of blood circulation in these places, so and in turn, to the serious disturbance of the nourishment of the hair (not in vain this energy it is called vital). It is necessary to note that it is detrimental as energy excess in head and scalp of head, that leads to “the combustion” of the bulbs of hair, also the shortage, which leads to the disturbance to the nourishment of hair. For the bright comparison will examine the hair as plants, for which it is detrimental as the absence of irrigation, also its surplus. Therefore we have accepted to focus attention on the local temperature of the skin of the scalp (on the different regions of head, that accepted in the anatomy). If the skin of scalp in this region hot, means energy excess, if its cold, correspondingly, shortage. If scalp sweats, it means in this person there are problems with the organs those cleaning organism (kidneys, the liver, bowels) and the large part of the internal poisons through the blood goes into the head, because of what the skin of head sweats in order to, as far as possible, to free head from these poisons. It is also necessary to focus attention on the nature of perspiration. If perspiration hot, means to eat an energy excess, if cold - shortage of energy.   Focus baldness we consider as the result against the background of the general disturbance of the circulation of vital energy and blood in the head scalp, the centers of the more intensive disturbances pointed out above, i.e., it cannot be so that against the general background of the healthy hair of head there would be centers baldness THE TREATMENT: We recommend in the complex of contemporary treatment. which adapts in trichology, to include acupuncture, which will in turn remove the disturbance of the circulation of vital energy in head and scalp of head, contributing to improvement their blood circulation and the nourishment of hair. Toward what is in the final analysis directed entire complex of the treatment of contemporary trichology.
