Chinese angelica can promote metabolism and supply the body with the nutrients necessary for the growing of hair. It is rich in calcium, which is needed to

prevent hair from becoming brittle. The extract of Chinese angelica in the Evergreen hair regenerator contains the substance that is required for the anabolism of follicle cells. Through local application, it can penetrate deep into the hair follicles to give them sufficient nourishment and curb simultaneously the excessive secretion of sebum, so as to prevent as much as possible the occlusion of the upper part of any hair follicle by waxy matter and thereby facilitate blood circulation in the scalp. The increase of the volume of blood circulating in the scalp is conducive to the improvement of the growth environment of hair. Thus, hair loss is speedily brought to a stop, and with the nourishment of the follicles properly resumed hair will grow normally.

In ancient China silk of the light blue color was very precious. It was used only for making rich garments. A beautiful woman's hair was compared to light blue silk. The famous poet of the Tang Dynasty Bai Juyi noticed the pitiful fact that women also lost hair and described it in the following line:

Fell the silk of light blue and sparse grew the temples.

The situation deplored by the renowned Tang Dynasty poet has become more serious in the contemporary world. But there is no need for female to get into a panic if she finds a few hairs on her pillow in the morning. It is normal for a person, whether male or female, to lose 50 to 100 pieces of hair during the 24 hours of a day, because he is supposed to have one hundred thousand pieces of hair on his scalp. If the person washes his head and finds a lot of hair in the water, then the situation is more serious. It is highly probable that he,she is losing hair. It is certain that a woman will feel greatly alarmed or even become ashamed of herself if she should discover that her scalp is barely covered by a thin layer of hair. This is a natural reaction, because her beauty is impaired. Now, what are the causes of hair loss in the case of females? An obvious cause is some chronic skin disease. It must not be overlooked that ringworm may bring about alopecia with scaling and pustulation. This is far more serious than alopecia which is due to other diseases, such as anemia, so far as the possibility of regrowth of hair is concerned.

This herbal medicine depends for its effects chiefly on phosphatides, anthraquinone derivatives and glucoside derivatives that it contains. As a medicine, it has been used in China for hundreds of years.
