Going to college is one of the best times in life, but Xiao Wang has been worried about it recently.
Not long after he entered the school, he noticed that the white hair on his head was becoming more and more white. Every time he looked in the mirror, he couldn't help but sigh.
He mentioned to me that he was originally full of expectations for college life, but now he is always worried that his white hair will cause "congestion" to him. He is afraid that his classmates will laugh at him, and he is also afraid that it will leave a bad impression on the teacher.
In fact, situations like Xiao Wang's are not uncommon among young people. In the medical field, they are called juvenile baldness, which is commonly known as Shao Baitou.
Seeing children anxious, parents will naturally become anxious too.
I asked him in detail and earnestly about why his condition was like this, and then recommended a mild method for him based on some dietary knowledge points covered within the scope of traditional Chinese medicine. This is what I will share with you today, hoping that it can play a certain role in helping the group of young people who are in the same troubled situation.
There is often more than one reason why a young man comes to your door.
When many people see gray hair, their first reaction is that it is hereditary.
Xiao Wang told me that he had counted several generations above and found that no one in his family had young gray hair, so genetic factors could basically be ruled out.
So what's the problem?
In fact, what determines the color of our hair is the amount of pigment particles in the hair shaft.
The transformation of hair from black to white essentially means that the pigment cells in the hair follicles have declined in function. When they decline to the point where they are no longer able to produce pigment particles, the hair will all turn white.
Generally speaking, this process begins around the age of 35.
Today's young people live at a fast pace, are under great pressure, and are in a state of mental stress for a long time. As a result, the supply of nutrients under the scalp cannot easily keep up with the pace, and melanin will naturally decrease.
In the days before the college entrance examination, Xiao Wang was under great pressure and his spirit was always in a state of tension. This should be a key reason for the increase in the number of his gray hairs.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, gray hair is mostly caused by the kidneys and blood.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, gray hair in teenagers is closely related to the deficiency and excess of the kidneys and the cold and heat of the blood.
The ancients have long said that "hair is caused by blood", which means that hair is a condition manifested by qi and blood and related to the sufficiency of qi and blood.
When Qi and blood are sufficient, the hair will be black and moist; when Qi and blood are weak, the hair will easily become yellow or even white.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was a medical scientist Li Zhen who also mentioned in "Introduction to Medicine" that "when the blood is abundant, the hair will be moisturized, when the blood is weak, the hair will be weak, when the blood is hot, it will turn yellow, and when the blood is exhausted, it will turn white." Therefore, to treat gray hair, we often start with nourishing the liver and kidneys, and also nourishing and activating blood.
Especially for young people, if gray hair is caused by staying up late for a long time, overuse of the brain, and high mental stress, then it is mostly closely related to liver and kidney deficiency, as well as insufficient qi and blood.
Immortal porridge: a handed down food therapy recipe for black hair
After conducting a comprehensive analysis of Xiao Wang's situation, I recommended him an unorthodox prescription that has been widely circulated among the people for a long time, which is Immortal Porridge.
The method to be carried out is not extremely complicated. First, the Polygonum multiflorum must be placed in a clay pot for decoction, and then its medicinal juice must be obtained from it, and then the medicinal residue must be removed.
Then put the japonica rice and red dates into the concoction and slowly cook it into porridge over a slow fire.
When the porridge is almost cooked, add brown sugar or rock sugar for seasoning, then boil it again once or twice, and then eat it while it is still hot.
There is a key point that needs special attention here. When cooking, never use an iron pot. This is because the active ingredients in Polygonum multiflorum will react with iron, which will affect the effect.
How to eat and how long to eat to see the effect
It is best to eat this porridge once or twice a day, continuously 7 to 10 days Count it as a course of treatment.
After a course of treatment, you can wait 5 days before starting the next course of treatment.
During the period of taking the medicine, you need to pay a little attention to your diet. Try not to eat onions and garlic, and don't drink cold porridge. If you eat it while it is hot, the effect will be more ideal and prominent.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the main function of this food called Immortal Porridge is to nourish the blood and benefit the liver. It can also strengthen the essence and kidneys, making the muscles and bones strong. It is especially suitable for those who have dull and yellow hair, as well as those who suffer from premature graying of beard and hair.
However, I would like to remind everyone that if you have loose stools and suffer from diarrhea easily, it is not suitable to eat this kind of porridge. The reason is that Polygonum multiflorum has the effect of moisturizing the intestines, which may make the symptoms more serious.
Relaxing your mind is more important than taking any medicine
In fact, whether it is white hair you are born with or white hair that gradually grows over time, in most cases, it does not have a substantial impact on the health of the body.
At first, Xiao Wang was particularly concerned about counting his gray hairs in front of the mirror every day. The more he counted, the more anxious he became. As a result, his sleep became worse, and his hair turned whiter.
I told him that keeping a relaxed and happy mood is more important than taking any medicine.
Mental stress itself will affect the blood circulation of the scalp and reduce the supply of nutrients.
Nowadays, college life is rich and diverse. You should focus more on studying, sports, and making friends. Don't always focus on those few gray hairs.
Carry out a regular schedule, maintain a balanced diet, and drink some fairy porridge together. After your body slowly adjusts in a step-by-step manner, your hair will naturally respond positively to you.
After all, treating gray hair is not something that happens overnight and requires some patience.
The ingredients used in this fairy porridge are all commonly seen, and their properties are relatively mild. It is suitable for daily maintenance for a long time.
If you are like Xiao Wang and suffer from the problem of gray hair, you might as well try this method. At the same time, remember to relax and don't put too much pressure on yourself.
Being young means having capital. As long as the basic physical condition is good, the jet-black hair will eventually return again.
