◈ Corrective Sequence

HAI-001

Assess Shedding Severity

5min

Collect loose hairs from brush/drain for 3 days. Normal: <100/day. Warning signs: Clumps, bald spots, or >150 hairs/day after 3 months.

→ TARGET: Hair follicles

HAI-002

Apply Warming Compress

5min

Soak a washcloth in warm (not hot) water, wring, and place on neck/scalp for 5 minutes 2x daily to counter 'uterine cold' and boost circulation.

→ TARGET: Scalp meridians

HAI-003

Sip Ginger-Red Date Tea

10min

Simmer 2 slices fresh ginger + 3 red dates in 1 cup water for 10 minutes. Drink warm daily to 'warm the blood' and nourish postpartum depletion.

→ TARGET: Blood quality

HAI-004

Perform Meridian Pressing

3min

Daily press acupoints: ST-36 (below knee), SP-6 (inner ankle), and BL-10 (base of skull) for 1 minute each with thumbs to 'unblock qi' and improve follicle blood flow.

→ TARGET: Energy pathways

HAI-005

Consult if Symptoms Persist

Ongoing

If excessive shedding continues beyond 6 months or with dizziness/tingling, see a TCM practitioner for personalized diagnosis of 'blood stasis' or 'kidney deficiency'.

→ TARGET: Systemic balance
