hair loss and Qi Gong

Hello all, I just wondering if any of you could please help me with a query regardingQi Gong . In the last two months I have been studying Qi Gong(Wild Goose System)and it has been helping me out a lot with keeping my mind at ease. One thing I have noticed though is that my nails have been growing quicker but I am losing more hair than usual(but I have noticed no bald patches). I was just wondering if you could please confirm if this is normal or not for people who practice Qi Gong and if so why does this happen. Many thanks and take care.

Yours sincerely
Sean

i myself have noticed hair and nail growth, there are chinese medicine reasons for this, as your inner organs' health is manifested in the hair and nails, but the hair loss could mean you are doing something wrong, ask your teacher to check out your form, esp wrist movements and breath coordination.

The hair lose could be old hair falling out to make way for new hair

Most people notice the reverse - extra hair growth (on the head)

I have never heard of any of this before. Could this be your imagination?

That may have to do with something you go through, but it should not have to do with the qigong per se. I have had short periods of sudden strong hair loss, when it looked like I would be bald very soon, but that stopped after a week or so. I think it had to do with sort of stress of emotions. It might still be some reaction of your body to something you picked up with doing qigong, some not so good habit or something like that. As emotions emerging when doing qigong also could be old ones, it does not necessarily have to do with what you do today. It also might be a side effect of qigong influencing your hormons (strong amounts of certain testosterone metabolits cause hair loss in males), or your hormons in general with no relation to the qigong.

If your nails do not change to the worse, appearing split and damaged, you could just watch the thing for a few weeks, and visit a doctor otherwise. There is a lot of issues about hair loss, from qigong over stress, normal age process up to intoxication with potentially lethal poisons. The latter would sooner or later not only influence your hair, so if you start feeling really ill, don't attribute that to qigong, visit a doctor who can tell you if it is something else.
