The more hair you fall, the more you lose? Traditional Chinese medicine teaches you to raise your hair back!
"A Fang Gong Fu": "The green clouds are disturbed, and the comb is also small." Wei Zhuang's "Jiuquanzi": "The green clouds are tilting, and the golden pillow is greasy." "Wang Zao's "Drunken Flowers": "The small boat curtain gaps, the beauty half-reveals the plum makeup, and the green clouds reflect the flowers like a moment." This is what a desirable artistic conception in the literary classics, and the ancients described a black, thick hair as a "green cloud". However, modern urbanites are often troubled by their "green clouds" being white early and "few clouds and no clouds" on their heads. In modern life, the main causes of premature graying hair, dry hair, lack of hair, and hair loss are often related to insufficient or unbalanced nutrient intake, mental stress and anxiety, or endocrine disorders. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, hair is "more than blood", "the kidney is in the hair", and hair is closely related to the kidney, liver, spleen and stomach in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. The liver stores blood, the liver blood is sufficient, and the hair is nourished so that it is not easy to lose hair; The spleen is mainly transported, and the sparse water valley is subtle than the hair; Abundant kidney qi is fundamental to hair health. Premature graying, withering or hair loss are related to several common TCM pathogenesis such as liver and kidney deficiency, blood deficiency and sperm deficiency, liver and gallbladder fire, or spleen and stomach disorders. The theoretical principles of traditional Chinese medicine for hair maintenance: nourishing the kidneys, nourishing qi and nourishing blood, soothing the liver and gallbladder, and harmonizing the spleen and stomach. Only when the kidneys are sufficient, the qi and blood are abundant, and the meridians and qi are smooth, can healthy hair be raised. Traditional Chinese medicine hair care methods 1
