In TCM postpartum hair loss is a sign of deep depletion
Traditional Chinese Medicine: A holistic perspective on postpartum hair wellness
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, postpartum hair loss is your body asking for deep nourishment.
We all expect some changes after birth: sleepless nights, diaper changes, maybe some mood swings.
But waking up to clumps of hair on your pillow? That part catches most of us off guard.
Western medicine tells us it’s “just hormones.” But Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) tells a deeper story.
One that actually makes sense of why postpartum hair loss happens and, more importantly, how to support your body naturally during this phase.
That’s why we created Luna Gold: to support postpartum balance and nourish your body from within.
TCM explains postpartum hair loss as deep depletion
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, hair is directly linked to blood, energy (Qi), and the strength of your kidneys and liver.
When these are depleted (which happens after pregnancy and birth) your body shifts into survival mode.
- Blood deficiency: Your hair is an extension of your blood, and if your body is low on blood, your hair follicles suffer.
- Qi (Energy) Deficiency: Without enough energy, your body focuses on survival, not growing hair.
- Kidney & Liver Weakness: These organs store Jing (life essence).
After pregnancy, Jing is drained, slowing hair regrowth.
Western medicine talks about hormones, circulation, and inflammation.
But TCM explains why these issues happen in the first place.
This is exactly why adaptogens like the ones in Luna Gold have been used for centuries to restore balance, rebuild blood, and support healthy hair.
Why Luna Gold aligns with TCM wisdom
For thousands of years, TCM has relied on powerful mushroom adaptogens to nourish blood, restore energy, and strengthen the body after childbirth.

Luna Gold is different.
- We work from the inside out, restoring balance instead of masking symptoms.
- We blend modern science & ancient wisdom. TCM has known for centuries what science is just now catching up on.
- We support your whole journey with a complete system, not just a pill.
