One of the benefits of living in Vancouver is a largecollection of Chinese herbal remedy shops able to support traditional Chinesemedicine.  The difficulty is that thelabeling is typically in Chinese and generally opaque to western eyes.  I expect that this will begin to seriouslychange over the next twenty years as plenty of new comers are conversant inEnglish and can handle the translation and marketing issues.  I am seeing plenty of indications that thisis happening and the sooner the better.

The Chinese have developed amajor empirical resource that is a long way from been understood andexploited.  Our own medicine is nowaccepting much of this into usage.

Here we have a herb whose directbenefit is some restoration of hair health in the aging.  Other benefits are indicated and noted.  It does not claim to be a magic bullet, butdoes claim improvement.  I am suresomeone will try to produce a magic bullet.

Since no creditable alternativeactually exists, this is an improvement. It is noted that hair condition can change abruptly due to emotionalshock and that electro stimulation will also increase growth.  All that has suggested that subtleimprovements in nutrition could well make a major difference.
