Autumn is here! At least, that's what the Chinese calendar says.
Indeed, we have been in the energy of autumn since the beginning of August. If you are not familiar with Chinese energetics and think you have been spared, rest assured that the “Western” autumn is also arriving very soon!
Farewell summer, the beach, swimming, the sun… But no regrets, because the arrival of autumn offers us a beautiful spectacle: it is harvest time, nature transforms, the weather cools and warm colours come to dress the trees.
However, this is a season that deeply unsettles our body. And with good reason: going from sunshine to grey skies and from intense heat to cool days is no small thing! Indeed, the change of season spares no one: colds multiply, immunity weakens…. and hair falls out!
Hair loss: why does our hair fall out more in autumn?
On average, we lose 60 hairs a day in autumn. By comparison, we lose around 20 in summer. A glaring difference that explains why so many of us panic when we see our hair falling out en masse as autumn arrives. But why exactly do we lose more hair in autumn?
Seasonal hair loss can have several explanations. Generally, stress, a drop in energy, lack of sunshine or reduced light are to blame. Naturally, the weakening of the immune system that we all suffer from during this period does not help.
So every autumn you start a course of hair supplements in the hope of limiting hair loss, and yet nothing works? There's no point waiting until you see your hair falling out! The end of the holidays is the ideal time to strengthen your immunity and prevent hair loss.
For thousands of years in China, certain plants have been renowned and widely used for their benefits for the beauty and health of the hair. At Calebasse Laboratoire, we have created a formula bringing together three of the most powerful Chinese plants for hair health, to prepare a complete and effective solution for you to combat seasonal hair loss.
The Hair Nutrition Formula: 3 plants that act on hair health
- Strengthens hair health
- Promotes hair growth
- To maintain healthy nails
Made up of three plants listed in the Chinese pharmacopoeia – Hei zhi ma (black sesame seeds), Shu di huang (Rehmannia root) and the very famous He shou wu (Chinese knotweed root) – the Hair Nutrition Formula has a nourishing and stimulating action on the hair.
Together, these three precious ingredients act on the hair to:
• Limit hair loss
• Encourage growth
• Strengthen hair health
• Slow the appearance of white hairs
He shou wu, to prevent hair loss and the premature appearance of white hairs
- Supports and tonifies the Qi of the Kidneys and the Liver
- Helps maintain a balanced fat metabolism in the body
- Supports overall vitality and energy levels
- Helps support hair beauty and density
Still little known in the West, He shou wu is very popular in Asia for its incredible effects on hair health. In 2011, a study showed that this plant “promotes hair growth by stimulating the structures beneath the skin that produce hair, putting them back into the growth phase.”1. It is therefore recommended for combating baldness and heavy hair loss.
What's more, the Chinese legend claiming that He shou wu gave General Ho back his dark hair was telling the truth. Indeed, in 2017 researchers proved its beneficial effects on the premature appearance of white hairs2.
Hei zhi ma to nourish and strengthen the hair
- Stimulates the intestinal transit
- Stimulates memory and intellectual abilities
A secret beauty ingredient in China, Hei zhi ma (black sesame seeds) was included in the Hair Nutrition Formula for its nourishing action: it strengthens the hair by nourishing it in depth. This plant is therefore an effective solution for dealing with dry, brittle hair.
A true ally, Hei zhi ma also promotes nail growth and helps to strengthen the nails.
Shu di huang to speed up hair growth
- Gives tonus to the body
- Contributes to the health of elderly people
A great tonic of the Chinese pharmacopoeia, Shu di huang (Rehmannia root) is known to “rejuvenate the body”. Besides its “anti-ageing” action, it has countless benefits for the body. When it comes to hair health, it is reputed to strengthen the hair, encourage its growth3 and slow the premature appearance of white hairs.
The synergy of these three plants offers a formidable solution for strengthening the health of your hair and preventing hair loss. Far from the usual ingredients that make up most food supplements, our formula relies solely on the action of these three Chinese plants with incredible virtues.
