Hair falling out non-stop? Five tricks of traditional Chinese medicine to help you "keep" your hairline~
Hair loss is a normal physiological phenomenon, but if hair loss is frequent, or the hair appears significantly thinner, thinner, or softer, it needs to be paid attention to and treated in time.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, hair can reflect the rise and fall of essence in a person's kidneys.
People with strong kidney qi have black, dense and shiny hair, while people with insufficient kidney qi tend to lose their hair, dry up, and turn white.
So, how do we take care of our kidneys and hair?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that black food is more likely to enter the kidneys and can nourish the kidney essence.
Generally speaking, black sesame seeds, black fungus, black beans, etc. are good kidney foods.
Among them, black sesame seeds are especially recommended.
Black sesame is a flax plant of the family Flaxaceae, according to legend, it was first introduced from the Dawan country, and the ancients called the Dawan country "Hu", so black sesame is also called flax and flax seeds.
"Compendium of Materia Medica" cloud: "The white one wins when the flax takes oil, the black one is good for the one, and the one who takes the hu land is especially wonderful." Take its black color into the kidneys, and can moisten dryness. ”
In addition, black sesame seeds can also replenish the essence and blood of the liver and kidney, and also have an effect on premature graying and hair loss caused by liver and kidney essence and blood deficiency.
It should be noted that black sesame seeds are cool when they are raw, and they are sweet and fragrant after they are fried, so they are flat or warm, and they are most suitable for nourishing essence and blood.
Note: Because of its oily lubrication, people with loose stools should not take it. Because of its moist texture can help dampness, it is not suitable for those who have phlegm and dampness, cough and phlegm, spleen deficiency and dampness, and white and greasy tongue. This product has the function of "prenatal birth and colonization", and pregnant women should not take more.
Go to bed before 11 p.m. and get enough sleep so that your liver can repair well. Long-term overwork and overdraft of physical strength will lead to excessive depletion of kidney essence, and the situation of "premature growth" will occur.
Staying up late often will deplete liver blood, "hair is more than blood", and hair lacks the nutrients it needs, so it will inevitably fall out early.
Modern people sit still for a long time when they work, so their blood circulation is poor. It is recommended to move the shoulders, neck and head for at least 1 hour or so, which can not only relieve neck soreness and discomfort, but also promote the smooth flow of qi and blood in the head and neck, which is naturally conducive to hair growth.
The Baihui acupoint, Shenting acupoint, Fengchi acupoint, Fengfu acupoint, etc. on the head are all related to hair health, you can often massage the acupoints or local pain points of the head, so that the qi and blood can run smoothly, 2~3 minutes per acupoint, to feel the local heat or soreness and numbness is obvious, 1 time a day.
If you continue to comb your hair every day, you can stimulate the meridian qi of the head, help the blood flow, balance the yin and yang of the internal organs, and then prevent hair loss and promote hair regrowth.
The correct way to comb your hair is to rub your hands together until they are hot, then bend your fingers slightly, spread them evenly, and use your fingers or the sides of your fingers from the front of your forehead to the back of your pillow, from the temporal region to the top of your head, massaging all parts of your head with moderate pressure.
This method is combed once every 100 times, once in the morning and once in the evening, so that the scalp produces heat, swelling and numbness.
At the same time, it should be noted that there are different requirements for combing hair when acting on dry and oily hair.
For dry hair, brushing your hair more stimulates the sebaceous glands and secretes oil, which is good for your hair.
However, people with oily hair have a strong sebaceous gland secretion, and when combing their hair excessively, it is easy to overstimulate the sebaceous glands on the scalp and make their secretion more vigorous.
