Lisa,
Foundational essence probably refers to kidney essence or "jing". This
is primordial chi... energy retained through succeeding generations. It
also sometimes refers to sexual energy... very closely related to primordial
essence as this chi is the driving force behind life, our sexual drive, and
our genetic heritage.

I know a *little* about TCM...but have never heard of the term: foundational
essence. Can someone explain?

Well, I can be irritable (LOL) but my face is not red... unless I am
being irritated... ;-))
However, I know exactly what you mean about liver fire rising to the
head, but that doesn't happen very often anymore.
But, testosterone being changed to dihydrotestosterone (the western
medicine explanation for baldness) sounds very much like depletion of
foundational essence.

Treatment can be difficult, but I know of TCM doctors (one in particular)
who has great success with about 50% of cases, the other cases being not
impossible but more difficult to treat.
One of my buddies also said his hair was thinning due to liver fire rising
to his head. This is due to stress, or anger/frustration. Liver fire
would
be more of an excess condition. If your face is red and you're irritable,
that sounds like liver fire.

What does TCM theory say about male pattern baldness?
Is it considered to be a deficiency or excess condition, or just
something that you live with - like 2 arms, 2 legs, one head, etc?

Right! According to the article below they prevent and reverse bone
loss.
Did you know?
http://www.osteopenia3.com/Osteopenia-dried-plums.html
While the article is long it is well worth the read. Here is an excerpt
that
may peak your interest:
<SNIP> . . . . ."Aside from existing drug therapies, certain lifestyle
and
nutritional factors are known to reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Among
nutritional factors, recent observations suggest that dried plum, or
prunes
(Prunus domestica L.) is the most effective fruit in both preventing and
reversing bone loss. "
