Hirsutism is thought to be mostly due to excessive levels of androgenic hormones. Examples of androgens are testosterone, androstenedione, and DHEA. Testosterone is the main androgen we're concerned about. It's normal for men to have a lot of testosterone and for women to have some. When women have too much testosterone, body and facial hair overgrowth may result. When men have excessive testosterone, prostate problems can occur. But even if your androgens are normal, you may develop hair overgrowth because your body is overly sensitive to hormones. And some women who have normal androgens and don't have PCOS will develop excessive hair, sometimes for unknown reasons.

Traditional Chinese medical texts first recorded the use of acupuncture and Chinese herbs for women’s problems nearly two thousand years ago and in fact, China already had the first specialist medical field of gynocology in the 1200’s. In the traditional Chinese medicine treatment of hirsutism, the symptom of unwanted hair growth in women is seen as part of a greater energetic imbalance in the body and may involve multiple organs and meridians. Meridians are channels of energy flow that connect the major organs of the body to the torso and limbs. On each meridian there are acupuncture points at various locations and each acupuncture point has specific functions and uses.
