Nowadays, young people like to make their hair weirdly shaped and colorful, which is very fashionable. If you have a Chinese medicine friend, she (he) will definitely advise you not to do this. The reason is that we can understand the health of the body from the hair. If the original color and shape of the hair are damaged, it is equivalent to closing the window to observe the condition.
1. Hair turns white
Lack of Qi and blood causes the hair to gradually turn white, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. But now many people, under the age of 40, have a lot of gray hair, which shows that their physical condition should be paid attention to.
The hair on the forehead is beginning to turn white, indicating that the stomach is aging. Because the stomach qi reaches to the forehead, emaciation will also appear on the face at this time, such as long forehead lines and crow's feet. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the gallbladder meridian starts at the corner of a person's eyes, runs along the sides of the person's head, and then along one side of the human body, all the way to the little toe and the four toes of the foot. Therefore, when the courage is insufficient, the hair on the two temples of a person gradually turns white. Another characteristic is that he likes to scratch his head on the temples, which is the place where the gallbladder passes. The bladder meridian is a meridian that can enter the brain, and then due to the aging of the bladder gas, the hair on the back of the brain will turn white.
Of course, hair whitening has a certain relationship with mood and living conditions. If a person combs each hair carefully, his mood must be happy and leisurely; if his hair is messy like grass and messy like a bird's nest, then it is likely that his life is in trouble, or his thoughts are lost. And depressed.
"Three thousand feet of white hair, sadness looks like long", it is well known that sadness produces white hair. When Wu Zixu passed Zhaoguan, his hair turned white overnight, which was related to the bad mood of grief and anger. So young people who want to have dark hair must control their emotions.
2. Hair loss
Hair growth has a cycle of growth and aging, and natural physiological hair loss actually occurs every day. But some hair loss is caused by pathological factors. For young people, baldness is more common, also called "ghost shave." Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there are three main reasons: one is blood heat injures the yin, the yin and blood do not go to the top to nourish the hair roots, and the hair will fall off if the hair is weak; Roots will gradually be corroded and hair will fall off; thirdly, eating too much sweets and too loose sweets, and eating sweets regularly will affect the astringent function of the kidneys, and weaken the astringent qi, which will cause hair loss.
In addition, baldness is also closely related to stress and emotions. If a person thinks too much and feels frustrated, he will lose a lot of hair.
3. Hair growth rate
The liver controls the growth of hair, and the liver controls the storage of blood. The growth rate of hair is related to liver qi. If your hair grows fast, it means you have enough liver qi. Such people are usually very smart, responsive, and they can also develop strategies. On the contrary, if the hair grows slowly, it means that the liver qi is insufficient. Common symptoms include cold hands and feet, pale complexion and so on.
4. Dandruff
When the kidney essence cannot tolerate virtual fire, it always floats on it when it becomes inflamed. After a long time, the blood on the scalp will gradually decrease, and the scalp will not be moisturized, and dandruff will occur. We know that vinegar shampoo can effectively remove dandruff, which is actually the astringent effect of vinegar. Acid is the main astringent, which can reduce the virtual fire and gather yin and yang. So, if you suffer from dandruff, try a vinegar shampoo. In addition, it should be noted that when washing your hair, you should first pour the shampoo in your hands, rub the foam, and then apply it to your hair instead of pouring the shampoo directly on your head. Because shampoo without foam can irritate the scalp, it is easy to form dandruff or aggravate dandruff.
5. Hair density and color
Hair is the essence of the kidney and the external manifestation of the kidney. The kidney is mainly black, so whether the hair is black is closely related to the quality of the kidney. In addition, the moisturizing and thickening of hair is also related to the kidneys. The kidneys control convergence. If a person's kidney qi converges well, his hair will be black and thick. On the contrary, if the kidney is weak, the qi cannot converge very well, and it is easy to lose hair.
To replenish vitality, you must first regulate your stomach qi
Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are closely related to the qi and blood of the human body. Only when the spleen and stomach functions are normal, the qi in the human body can grow and be enriched. When people eat cereals, fruits, vegetables, eggs, and birds, they must enter the stomach. All organs of the human body get nourishment from the stomach.
If the spleen and stomach are damaged and dysfunctional, it will damage the vitality and severely affect the whole body and cause illness. We all know that a light diet is for health preservation. But it should be emphasized that the prerequisites for a light diet are: the diet should be diversified, the staple food is mainly cereals; eat more fruits and vegetables; often eat milk, beans and appropriate amounts of fish, poultry, eggs, and lean meat. Only in this way can it be ensured that nutrients such as protein and fat in the diet meet the basic needs of the human body. On this basis, it is advocated to reduce the amount of salt, control the intake of fat and salt, so as to nourish the stomach and protect the stomach, and truly promote health.
