This case report describes a 53 years old male who suffered from the symptom of severe hair loss for about seven months and in the half year, this symptom became worse. The feature of this case is that according to the main symptoms, combined symptoms, and traditional Chinese medicine theory,this patient’s hair loss was diagnosed as alopecia areat. It resulted from the accumulation of the dual deficiency of yin and yang, the dampness of spleen and the deficiency of kidney yang. The treatment was mainly based on Gui Zhi Long Gu Mu Li Tang(桂枝龍骨牡蠣湯)combined with Ling Gui Zhu Gan Tang(苓桂朮甘湯)to tonify yin and yang and fortify the spleen and drain dampness, He Shou Wu(何首烏)and Rou Cong Rong(肉蓯蓉), to tonify liver and kidney essence. After eight months treatment, the symptoms were markedly improved and did not recurrent again. This paper would present the procedure of TCM treatment in a detailed introduction and discussion.
