Chinese practitioners have been using herbal hair care formulas for no less than 1,700 years.

Typically, these formulas contain acrid-flavored medicinals which move the qi and quicken the blood. This is based on the idea that the qi moves the blood and the hair is the surplus of the blood. Therefore, if the blood in the scalp is healthy, so will be the hair.

Within this formula, Dang Gui and Bai Zhi have been used for externally applied herbal hair care products in China for many centuries. When it comes to the beautification of the skin and hair, Bai Zhi is the most commonly used for external application.
