Q: Is there a Chinese medicine to prevent/delay balding?
Just to get the ball rolling:
Judging by the ammount of comb-overs I see every day, I seriously doubt it. But this is just my observation. Maybe someone who has studied TCM could better illustrate this.
probably eating the hair of a monkey will do the trick
Your joking right ?????
I go bald gracefully, and like to say my baldness is due to too much head board action
Wish that was true lol
"Bawang".. go to any supermarket... shampoo section.. the one with jackie chan picture.. (and a bald man who is owner i guesss) .. one for delay baldness has so written in english... its shampoo + some liquid for massage after shower..
maybe its better to shave it all of rather than wait till it slowly falls away, who knows you might even like the look

Worked for Yul Bryner and that dude was wall to wall in pussy.
i recently read about something like an acid that doesnt break down somethere else and then melatonin was mentioned, and so now that we know, we can stop the greying and hair loss.
Great article. total BS. If you go grey, you go grey, if you bald, then you bald. Western medicine is extreme in this stuff, and TCM is just a waste of money... either listen to Stan118 and shave it or get over it.
PS, girls arent put off by thinning hair. its only your confidence
i dont know about chinese medicine but i know a drug MINOXIDIL and it works great

Minoxidil works only if the hair falling is caused by transitional causes such as stress or illness.
There's nothing to do if the baldness is from genetic inheritance.
I'm bald too, and frankly speaking, like somebody said already, it's just matter of self confidence. Luckily I never suffered for it, neither had any problem with the other sex.
Chinese medicine doesn't work on foreigners, no sense arguing if it works for Chinese.
Male pattern baldness is basically caused because male testosterone clogs the hair follicle, starving the hair so it dies. Products like Rogaine are supposed to help. The drug companies all do research, if they ever came up with a pill for it they would make a ton of money.
recently on realclearscience.com, someone figured out what caused the gray and how to slow it down, can they make the product and market, maybe, chinese traditional medicine believers will tell you to eat some raw ginger with breakfast and ginger tea to reverse gray hair, i hate ginger too much to even try.
andy74rc:
What's wrong with grey hair anyway? Testicles are all what is needed.
Everything here is poisoned. Either stay and get a wig, or leave. Your call. 
No. Balding is caused by hormones, and you should generally be thankful for nature to provide you with this way of not having to go give your hard earned money to some metrosexual dude in a hairdresser.
I do the shaving thing...I'm glad my head's pretty round 
. Many people in Asia compare me to the Laughing Buddha 
Changing lifestyle habits instead of swallowing medicine can have a massive impact on your hair/scalp health. Mostly stress management and diet will regulate hormones, dryness and prevent apparition of dandruff or itchy scalp (which will accelerate hair loss). Gently massage your scalp for 10 minutes every day with the tip of your fingers to promote blood circulation up there, and have a egg yolk+olive oil hair wash every 1 or 2 weeks (that thing does wonders). And don't keep using the same shampoo every time.
Wow, why do you want to prevent the baldness? You could fish more women with a bald head. lol
