Healthy hair reflects the strength of the body’s internal nourishment and circulation. When internal reserves become depleted through stress, aging, childbirth, illness, or overwork, hair may gradually become thin, dry, brittle, or prematurely gray.

Silkie Healthy Hair Formula is a traditional herbal supplement designed to support hair growth, hair thinning, shedding, and premature graying by working from within. Rather than treating hair only from the outside, this formula supports circulation, restores nourishment, and strengthens foundational reserves so the scalp receives the support needed for healthier hair growth naturally.

In traditional herbal medicine, hair vitality is closely connected to the strength of Liver Blood and Kidney Essence. When these systems become weakened, the scalp may receive less nourishment, contributing to gradual thinning, slow regrowth, or declining hair quality over time. By supporting circulation and replenishing internal reserves, this formula helps create the internal environment needed for stronger, thicker, and more resilient hair.*

Best suited for:
• Hair thinning or shedding  
• Premature graying  
• Weak or brittle hair  
• Post-stress or postpartum hair loss  
• Dry scalp or slow hair growth  

Hair health is often influenced by digestion, stress, and overall internal balance.

A Proven, Researched-Backed Healthy Hair Formula

Modern studies on traditional herbs used in hair formulas — including processed fleeceflower root (He Shou Wu) — show supportive effects related to antioxidant activity, immune regulation, and protection of metabolic and liver function pathways, all of which influence long-term hair vitality. Research published in journals such as  International Journal of Biological Macromolecules and Journal of Ethnopharmacology has explored how these compounds support circulation, cellular protection, and healthy aging processes.

From a traditional perspective, when Blood and Essence are replenished and circulation improves, hair follicles receive consistent nourishment, supporting healthier growth cycles.

Modern research increasingly supports many of the traditional roles of herbs long used in acne support formulas. These herbs have been shown to help:
  • Support healthy hair growth and density
  • Reduce excessive shedding and thinning
  • Strengthen weak or brittle hair
  • Support premature graying associated with depletion
  • Nourish scalp circulation
  • Restore vitality after stress, illness, or postpartum recovery

Hair improvement occurs gradually as internal balance is restored.

  • For adults, as a dietary supplement, take 5 - 10 pills once or twice daily if needed. If taking other medication or supplements, allow at least 2 hours before or after using this product.

  • Consistent daily use is recommended for best results

  • Hair growth cycles require time; noticeable improvement typically develops over 8–12 weeks of regular use

Because this formula rebuilds internal nourishment, results appear progressively rather than immediately.

This formula is most appropriate for patterns associated with deficiency and depletion, different individuals may experience different symptoms, including:

  • Hair thinning or widening part line
  • Increased hair shedding during brushing or washing
  • Dry, brittle, or weak hair texture
  • Premature graying
  • Hair loss after stress, childbirth, or illness
  • Slow hair regrowth
  • Fatigue or feeling run down alongside hair changes

This formula is not ideal for sudden inflammatory scalp conditions with redness, heat, or infection.

Hair health reflects daily lifestyle habits.

  • Avoid excessive stress and overwork
  • Reduce alcohol, smoking, and excessive caffeine
  • Limit greasy, heavily processed, or very spicy foods
  • Favor warm, nourishing meals instead of frequent raw or cold foods

      Ann's Story

      Here's my story.

      If you feel skeptical or unsure of Chinese herbal remedies, I could hardly blame you. I wasn't a believer either until my daughter grew very sick and my father (the 4th generation herbalist) helped her get better with herbs.

      I was born into a family of herbalists. My father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather, great-great grandfather were all herbalists. I represent the 5th generation in this long lineage dating back to Imperial China.

      When I was three or four years old, I started to learn herbal songs and how to identify herbs. As I got older, I was taught how to process the herbs while working in my dad’s clinic in Vietnam. After we immigrated to the United States, my dad asked me if I wanted to pursue a career in TCM as an herbalist or acupuncturist. I said, “No, just leave me alone, Dad. I will find something I enjoy doing for work.” So, he left me alone to find my own way.

      I wanted nothing to do with herbal medicine until I gave birth to my second daughter, Catherine, who was born with severe gastric reflux. When Catherine was 10 days old, I had to take her to the ER for IV injections into her little hand because she couldn’t keep milk down. Besides vomiting, she also was having diarrhea. Catherine was losing nutrition from both ends, so her tiny body was shrinking. At that time my dad warned me, “She needs to be treated with herbal medicine, otherwise she will have seizures later on.” I didn’t fully understand what my dad was talking about, so I ignored him.

      My daughter got so ill that she could only take half an ounce of milk per hour. Before feeding her, I would use a syringe and shoot Zantac into her mouth to lessen the vomiting. As time passed, she needed milk more often, and consequently more Zantac. By the time Catherine was 8 months old, she needed to be fed and medicated 11 times a day.

      I could hardly sleep, eat, shower or rest. Even at night, I had to drape my daughter over my shoulder for her to sleep. If I put Catherine down, she would vomit. I barely had time to squeeze in a 5-minute shower once or twice a week for myself. I was exhausted, but what could I do? I had to care for my daughter and do my best to survive each day with the hope that she would get better or at the very least her condition would not worsen.

      Catherine had to wear a turtleneck with two sweaters along with a baby cap and scarf to be outside during the heat of summer, even when temperatures were 100 plus degrees. If I didn’t cover her up, she would have a runny nose, cough, and non stop vomiting. How will she be able to go to school or anywhere with air conditioning?

      One day we went to a Vietnamese pho restaurant. After I set Catherine down into the high-chair, I turned around and adjusted my chair. Then I heard a woman’s shout, “Look at her!” I looked in the direction she pointed. It was Catherine…her eyes rolled up and her entire body stiff and shaking with fluid coming out of her mouth. Someone said, “Squeeze some lemon into her mouth.” I did it without hesitating and Catherine’s body relaxed.

      We rushed her to the ER. For 3 days she was in the NICU where they monitored her brain. The doctors told me I was lucky because my daughter’s seizure didn’t last for more than 3 minutes which would have damaged her brain. After that I always carried a piece of lemon because I had no idea when my baby girl might have another seizure.

      The seizures started to come weekly, so the doctor prescribed anti-seizure medication. Catherine wasn’t even 1 year of age, and already she was taking Zantac 11 times plus anti-seizure medicine 3 times a day. It was nearly impossible to administer the anti-seizure medicine because whenever I took out the syringe, she would cry and start vomiting.

      I took Catherine to see a specialist at CHOC. I asked, “Doctor, have you ever seen any infant with this condition get well?” The doctor replied, “It depends. Some will grow out of it, but some don’t. If they don’t, then they will have to take medication for the rest of their life.”

      “What do you mean by grow out of it?” The doctor explained that Catherine might get better by herself as she got older.

      My mind was racing. “All this time the prescribed medication has not been treating her stomach?” The doctor said, “No, it only helps to guide the food down, so she won’t vomit it back up. That’s why you have to give it to her before the feeding.”

      “Well, what if she doesn’t grow out of it?” In that case, Catherine will be dependent upon medication for the rest of her life. The doctor further informed me that she too was born with gastro reflux and is still taking medicine for the condition.

      Her statement was like lightning in my brain. If the doctor can’t even treat herself for gastro reflux, how can she help my daughter? Seeing the futility of my path, I turned to my dad for help.

      My dad advised me to stop all western drugs and to give her an herbal prescription 3 times a day. Administering medicine 3 times instead of 14 times a day to Catherine was a godsend to me. Even though it sounded too good to be true, I figured that I could still give Zantac to Catherine if she didn’t get better or continued to vomit.

      After one month of herbs 3 times a day, Catherine vomited less and less. To test Catherine, I let her cry to see if she would vomit. She didn’t, so I knew she was getting better. After another month of herbal medicine, Catherine was able to wear less clothing without getting a runny nose, coughing, or vomiting. After 3 months of herbal formulas, she stopped having episodes of gastro reflux and seizure. Catherine will enjoy a normal, healthy life.

      Because of Catherine’s dramatic recovery, I was sold on Chinese medicine and asked my dad to treat me. I fainted very easily, especially during the winter. After a few months of herbal formulas, I have never fainted again.

      I started to have time to think and tried to understand why a piece of lemon helps to relax the muscles and stop a seizure. Lemon is a common citrus, yet it has magical powers that we don’t understand and underestimate. I wanted to learn more and find answers, so I decided to go to China which has a long history of herbal medicine. I went to TCM schools in China and Hong Kong and worked in the TCM hospitals to learn from the best herbal doctors in the world.

      When I was there, I knew one day I would want to become an herbalist, but how can I get a steady supply of high-quality herbs. My dad and I backpacked across China and visited many farmlands. We interviewed farmers to grow herbs for us. Our products are used with the highest quality herbs that have been harvested at the height of their potency. They are substantially more expensive than less potent herbs that were harvested in the pre- or post-season.

      After I came back to the United State, I worked with my dad and learned from his experiences and studied the formulas that our ancestors passed down. What I have been through helped me to understand the importance of health. Without health, don’t even talk about career, beauty, education, freedom, etc. I now have worked with many families who have suffered as I have. Their endearing appreciation drives me to work harder.

      Our namesake "Silkie" is a Chinese breed of chicken that is well known for its calm and friendly temperament. They are gentle and caring and make wonderful mothers. A Silkie loves nothing more than brooding a cluster of eggs, whether they are hers or not, even if they are "duck eggs".

      Understanding Hair Loss: A Comprehensive Guide


      Hair loss and thinning can be frustrating and disheartening, affecting both men and women of all ages and can be caused by a variety of factors. Understanding the underlying causes of hair loss is essential for effective management and treatment. This comprehensive guide aims to provide insights into the different types of hair loss, their causes, and available treatment options.

      Types of Hair Loss


      • Androgenetic Alopecia (Male and Female Pattern Baldness): This is the most common type of hair loss, characterized by a progressive thinning of hair on the scalp in a predictable pattern. In men, it typically starts with a receding hairline and balding at the crown, while in women, it leads to overall thinning of the hair.
      • Alopecia Areata: Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that causes hair loss in patches on the scalp, face, and other parts of the body. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, resulting in sudden hair loss.
      • Telogen Effluvium: Telogen effluvium is a type of temporary hair loss characterized by excessive shedding of hair from the scalp. It is often triggered by significant stress, illness, surgery, childbirth, or rapid weight loss, leading to an imbalance in the hair growth cycle.

      Types of Hair Loss


      • Traction Alopecia: Traction alopecia occurs when excessive tension is applied to the hair follicles over a prolonged period, typically due to tight hairstyles like braids, ponytails, or extensions. This can lead to hair breakage and eventual hair loss, particularly along the hairline or in areas where the hair is pulled tightly.
      • Scarring Alopecia: Scarring alopecia, also known as cicatricial alopecia, is a type of hair loss characterized by irreversible damage to the hair follicles, resulting in scar tissue formation. This can be caused by various factors, including inflammation, autoimmune diseases, infections, or trauma to the scalp.
      • Anagen Effluvium: Anagen effluvium is a type of hair loss that occurs during the active growth phase of the hair follicles (anagen phase). It is commonly associated with certain medications, such as chemotherapy drugs, which disrupt the hair growth cycle and lead to sudden and widespread hair loss.

      Western Medicine Perspective on Hair Loss


      From a Western medicine perspective, hair loss, also known as alopecia, is a multifactorial condition influenced by various genetic, hormonal, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Here's an overview of how Western medicine views hair loss:

      Causes of Hair Loss


      • Genetics: Androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male or female pattern baldness, is the most prevalent form of hair loss and is heavily influenced by genetic predisposition. Specific genes inherited from both parents can determine an individual's susceptibility to hair thinning and balding.
      • Hormonal Factors: Hormonal imbalances can contribute to hair loss. For example, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a derivative of testosterone, is believed to shorten the hair growth cycle and lead to miniaturization of hair follicles in individuals genetically predisposed to androgenetic alopecia.

      Cause of Hair Loss


      • Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions and diseases can cause or exacerbate hair loss. These may include thyroid disorders, autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata, scalp infections, nutritional deficiencies, and chronic illnesses such as lupus or diabetes.
      • Medications and Treatments: Some medications and medical treatments can have hair loss as a side effect. Chemotherapy drugs, for instance, target rapidly dividing cells, including hair follicles, leading to temporary hair loss during treatment. Other medications, such as certain antidepressants, blood thinners, and acne medications, may also cause hair shedding.

      Cause of Hair Loss


      • Stress and Lifestyle Factors: Psychological stress, physical trauma, poor nutrition, and unhealthy lifestyle habits can contribute to hair loss. Chronic stress, in particular, can disrupt the hair growth cycle and lead to increased shedding.
      • Hair Care Practices: Overuse of harsh hair treatments, frequent heat styling, tight hairstyles, and improper hair care practices can damage the hair shaft and weaken the hair, leading to breakage and thinning over time.

      Cause of Hair Loss


      • Age: Hair naturally undergoes changes with age, including a decrease in hair density and diameter. Hormonal changes associated with aging, as well as reduced blood flow to the scalp, can contribute to age-related hair loss.
      • Scalp Health and Environment: The health of the scalp, including conditions like dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and scalp psoriasis, can impact hair growth. Environmental factors such as exposure to pollutants, UV radiation, and harsh weather conditions may also affect hair health.

      Symptoms and Diagnosis


      • Signs of Hair Loss
      • Diagnostic Tests (e.g., Hair Pull Test, Scalp Biopsy, Blood Tests)

      Treatment Options


      • Medications (e.g., Minoxidil, Finasteride)
      • Topical Treatments (e.g., Corticosteroid Creams, Anthralin)
      • Oral Supplements (e.g., Biotin, Iron)
      • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
      • Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
      • Hair Transplantation
      • Lifestyle Modifications (e.g., Stress Management, Balanced Diet)

      Prevention Strategies


      • Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle
      • Avoid Harsh Hairstyling Practices
      • Manage Stress Effectively
      • Ensure Adequate Nutrition
      • Regular Scalp Care Routine
      • Seek Prompt Treatment for Scalp Conditions
      • Minimize Exposure to Environmental Toxins

      Coping with Hair Loss


      • Support Groups and Counseling
      • Wigs, Hairpieces, and Scarves
      • Camouflage Techniques (e.g., Hair Fibers, Scalp Micropigmentation)
      • Embracing Hair Loss as Part of Self-Identity

      Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Perspective on Hair Loss


      In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), hair loss is often viewed as a manifestation of an underlying imbalance in the body's Qi (vital energy), blood circulation, and organ systems. Here's an overview of TCM's perspective on hair loss, including its types, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention:

      Types of Hair Loss in TCM


      • Blood Deficiency: Hair loss due to insufficient nourishment of the hair follicles and poor blood circulation.
      • Kidney Deficiency: Hair loss associated with weakened kidney function, which is considered the root of hair health in TCM.
      • Liver Qi Stagnation: Hair loss caused by emotional stress, which impairs the smooth flow of qi and blood to the scalp.
      • Phlegm-Dampness Accumulation: Hair loss accompanied by greasy scalp, dandruff, and oily skin, indicating an imbalance in body fluids.
      • Blood Stasis: Hair loss resulting from poor blood circulation and stagnant blood flow to the scalp.

      Causes of Hair Loss in TCM


      • Weakness or deficiency in the Kidney and Liver systems.
      • Emotional stress, which disrupts the flow of Qi and Blood. Gradual thinning on top of the head, circular or patchy bald spots, and sudden loosening of hair are all signs of hair loss, which may be caused by Blood deficiency or Qi stagnation.
      • Poor diet and nutrition, leading to blood deficiency or stagnation. Blood deficiency can result in weakened hair follicles due to lack of nourishment, while Qi stagnation can block the flow of nutrients and energy to the hair follicles, causing them to weaken and eventually leading to hair loss.
      • External factors like excessive heat, wind, and dampness affect the scalp.
      • Chronic illnesses or systemic imbalances affecting the body's overall health.

      Symptoms of Hair Loss in TCM


      • Hair falls easily.
      • Gradual thinning on top of head.
      • Circular or patchy bald spots.
      • Sudden loosening of hair.
      • White or gray hair.
      • Balding spots or completely bald.
      • Thinning of hair or bald patches on the scalp.
      • Weak or brittle hair that breaks easily.
      • Dry or greasy scalp with dandruff.
      • Signs of blood deficiency such as pale complexion, fatigue, and palpitations.
      • Emotional symptoms like irritability, anxiety, or depression.

      Diagnosis in TCM


      • TCM practitioners diagnose hair loss by considering the patient's overall health, medical history, and presenting symptoms.
      • They examine the quality of the hair, scalp condition, and observe other signs of systemic imbalance such as tongue appearance and pulse diagnosis.

      Treatment in TCM


      • Herbal Medicine: Prescribing herbal formulas contain Chinese herbs for hair growth specific to address the underlying imbalances causing hair loss, such as tonifying the Kidney and Liver, nourishing Blood, and promoting Qi circulation.
      • Acupuncture: Stimulating specific acupuncture points to regulate Qi and Blood flow, alleviate stress, and improve overall health.
      • Scalp Massage: Gentle massage techniques to promote blood circulation to the scalp and stimulate hair follicles.

      Treatment in TCM


      • Dietary Therapy: Recommending foods that nourish the Blood and strengthen the Kidney and Liver systems, such as dark leafy greens, beans, nuts, and seeds.
      • Lifestyle Recommendations: Stress management techniques, adequate rest, and regular exercise to support overall well-being.
      • Micro Needling with Herbal Serums: A proprietary herbal serum containing herbs with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties is used with micro needling,  a non-surgical procedure with a holistic approach to hair loss treatment. This method stimulates hair follicles, enhances serum absorption, improves blood circulation, reduces scalp inflammation, and promotes scalp health.

      Prevention in TCM


      • Maintaining a balanced and nutritious diet.
      • Managing stress through relaxation techniques like meditation, QiGong, or Tai Chi.
      • Avoiding excessive heat styling and harsh chemical treatments.
      • Protecting the scalp from environmental factors like wind, sun, and cold.
      • Regular exercise and adequate sleep to support overall health and vitality.

      Traditional Chinese Medicine Formulas vs Current Herbalism


      Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) boasts an extensive history of herbal treatment, developed over thousands of years, offering valuable insights. In contrast to Western herbalism's reliance on single herbs at high doses, TCM utilizes combinations of 4 to 10 herbs, working synergistically to address various body imbalances. This approach enhances positive effects and minimizes negative side effects. TCM formulas not only alleviate symptoms but also target the root cause of the imbalance, allowing for reduced or discontinued herbal intake as health improves.

      Traditional Chinese Medicine Formulas vs Current Herbalism


      While the medical industry and research groups focus on isolating and extracting specific compounds from herbs or herbal extracts offer concentrated compounds for new treatments, this approach may limit the benefits. The process of extracting herbs often involves the use of solvents or high heat, which can degrade the quality of the active compounds and may also introduce harmful residues. TCM emphasizes the use of whole herbs, where naturally occurring compounds complement each other, maximizing therapeutic effects.

      Introducing the Highest Quality Herbs Inside Healthy Hair

      In TCM, Processed Fleeceflower Root (Zhi He Shou Wu)

      Therapeutic Functions:

      1. Nourishing the Liver and Kidneys: Zhi He Shou Wu is renowned for its ability to nourish the Liver and Kidneys, the two primary organs associated with vitality and longevity in TCM. It helps to replenish Liver and Kidney Yin and Essence, tonify these organs, and support their functions.

      3. Promoting Hair Growth: Zhi He Shou Wu is traditionally used to promote hair growth and prevent premature graying, by nourishing the Blood and Essence, improving circulation to the scalp, and supporting hair follicle health.

      Common Applications:

      • Reproductive Health: Zhi He Shou Wu's tonic properties can also benefit reproductive health, fertility, and sexual function, by nourishing the reproductive organs, tonifying Essence and Blood, and enhancing overall vitality.

      Preparation and Dosage: The processing of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) plays an important role in the clinical application, which usually has the function of "increasing efficiency and reducing toxicity". Zhi He Shou Wu is commonly available in processed root form and can be prepared as a decoction, powder, or added to herbal formulas. The dosage may vary depending on the specific condition being treated and individual needs. It's essential to consult a qualified TCM practitioner for personalized guidance.

      In TCM, Black Sesame (Hei Zhi Ma)
