Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Ba Ji Tian (Morinda officinalis) is primarily used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and other traditional herbal systems for its reputed effects on kidney yang deficiency, vitality, and sexual health. Its use for supporting or treating hair loss or thinning is rooted in TCM theory, where hair health is believed to be closely related to the strength of the kidneys. In this framework, herbs that "tonify kidney yang" such as Ba Ji Tian, are sometimes recommended for hair issues associated with aging or hormonal imbalance.

However, there is little to no direct scientific evidence supporting Ba Ji Tian for the treatment of hair loss or thinning. Contemporary research on Ba Ji Tian has focused largely on its potential effects on bone health, libido, and general vitality, rather than hair regrowth. No robust clinical trials or peer-reviewed studies have established a clear mechanism or efficacy for Ba Ji Tian in promoting hair growth or preventing hair loss. Thus, its use for this condition is justified by traditional usage patterns rather than scientific validation, and the overall evidence for this application is very limited.
