Q. I have severely dry cracked skin especially on my feet... not sure if I'm vitamin e deficient but I want to try taking vitamin E supplements to help remedy my skin condition. Do you think this is advisable? If so, what brands can you recommend?
A. If your skin problem was caused by a lack of vitamin E then it wouldn't only affect your feet. It would affect your skin all over.
Vitamin E deficiency symptoms include anemia,caratacts,neurological damage and abnormalities of the liver,brain and bone marrow. These are all quite serious problems. If you do not have them then you are not vitamin E deficient.
The main cause of cracked skin on the feet is excessively dry skin because the feet have no oil glands.
Try E45 cream. I find it very soothing and it is easily available.

A. In Chinese medicine, premature hair loss or graying of hair is due to Kidney Deficiency and a lack of blood circulation (thus nutrients) to the scalp. Vitamin B helps build blood and is depleted during times of stress, so it can be very helpful. Vitamin E can also be helpful in re-establishing healthy hair. Kidney tonics can help to restore thinning hair or reverse balding if there is still some fuzz (if you are shiny bald, it is all over). Here are the causes of hair loss according to TCM and some tonic herbs for hair loss:
