Excessive body hair growth in females is often seen in females with polycystic ovarian disease which can cause problems with oestrogen. This condition may be complicated with obesity, difficulty to conceive and lack of periods. Classic Chinese texts have recognized that either insufficient beard growth in men or excessive facial hair in women can be treated via a meridian known as the “Sea of Blood”. In fact most acupuncturists use this meridian to treat many different menstrual disorders as part of their treatment regime.

Hi Beniziee, its not as simple as that. It depends on the TCM diagnosis that the condition would fall under. The same condition could have 5 different causes or have multiple patterns complicating it. Heiko
