When many friends look at themselves in the mirror, they find that gray hair does not grow uniformly everywhere, but is focused on specific areas, such as the forehead, the temples, or the top of the head.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, this phenomenon is not accidental.
According to the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the growth state of hair is closely related to the qi and blood of the organs in the body. Gray hair in different locations may reflect the different functional status of the organs.
Rather than just looking at gray hair and being upset, or choosing to pull out gray hair one by one and causing damage to the hair follicles, it is better to first understand the underlying reasons behind the appearance of gray hair, and then use gentle dietary therapy to regulate it from the inside to the outside.
There are many white hairs on the forehead, and the spleen and stomach are asking for help
If you notice that the gray hair is more concentrated on the forehead, and it is easy to feel tired in normal times, and you will experience abdominal distension as soon as you eat something, or you have a poor appetite, then it is very likely that there is some imbalance in the function of the spleen and stomach.
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the forehead is the area where the gastric meridian of Foot Yangming is located, and the spleen and stomach are mutually interconnected. Once spleen deficiency leads to weakness in transportation, or stomach heat is excessively strong, the generation of qi and blood becomes insufficient, and there is no way to nourish the hair roots well, which will lead to early gray hair.
In response to this situation, daily conditioning can pay more attention to the spleen and stomach.
For example, use Raw coix kernel , tangerine peel , Poria These three ingredients are brewed together to serve as a substitute for tea.
Yiren has the effect of invigorating the spleen and expelling dampness. The other is that tangerine peel has the ability to regulate qi and stomach. Poria cocos has the ability to strengthen the spleen and calm the heart. Combining these three can help the spleen and stomach restore the function of transportation and transformation in a gentle way.
Of course, you should also pay attention to regular diet and eat less raw, cold and greasy food to reduce the burden on the spleen and stomach.
If you have a lot of gray hair on your temples, your liver and gallbladder need to be "decompressed"
White hair on the temples is often related to liver and gallbladder function.
This area belongs to the gallbladder meridian of Foot Shaoyang. Because the liver and gallbladder are closely related, emotional stress, staying up late and fatigue can easily affect the liver and gallbladder.
If you have obvious white hair on your temples, are also irritable and irritable, and have a dry and bitter feeling in your mouth, this may be a symptom of heat in the liver and gallbladder. You can use tea brewed from Sophora japonica, peony bark, and light bamboo leaves to help clear away the heat accumulated in the liver and gallbladder.
However, if in addition to white hair on your temples, you also notice that your complexion is yellow, your fingernails are light-colored, and you are prone to dizziness, then this is most likely a deficiency syndrome due to lack of liver blood.
At this time, liver blood needs to be nourished, so you can try using Angelica sinensis , Mulberries , Chuanxiong Boil water and drink.
Angelica sinensis also has the effect of nourishing and activating blood, mulberries can nourish the liver and kidneys, and Ligusticum chuanxiong can promote qi and activate blood, so that the supplemented blood can better nourish the head.
However, the most fundamental thing is to adjust your work and rest schedule, stay up less late, and learn to reduce stress on yourself.
White hair on the top and back of the head, kidney energy needs to be "recharged"
The Baihui point on the top of the head is related to the bladder meridian of Full Taiyang. The area on the back of the head is also related to the bladder meridian of Full Taiyang, and is also related to the Du meridian. The kidneys are in charge of bones and produce bone marrow, which is externally manifested in hair. Therefore, the concentration of gray hair in these locations often points to insufficient kidney qi.
Especially if it is accompanied by soreness in the waist and knees, dizziness and tinnitus, or even an increase in hair loss throughout the body, then you need to pay more attention to replenishing kidney qi.
Among the many kidney-tonifying foods, black ingredients have always been highly praised.
For example, three ingredients, black rice, black beans, and black sesame, are selected and used to make soy milk or porridge. This has become a very classic therapeutic recipe.
Black rice, known as "black pearl", has the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing the kidneys. Black beans, shaped like a kidney, can nourish the kidneys and essence, and black sesame seeds are high-quality items that nourish the liver, kidneys, and essence and blood.
Drinking a bowl of "Three Black" porridge or soy milk every day for a period of time is of great benefit to replenishing kidney qi and maintaining hair.
Of course, kidney deficiency can be divided into yin and yang. If the body shows obvious symptoms of cold and heat, then it is best to consult a professional Chinese medicine practitioner and wait for the syndrome differentiation before proceeding with conditioning.
We need to remind everyone that there is currently no specific medicine that can completely turn gray hair black.
When you notice gray hair, the safest way is to use scissors to cut it off at the root of the hair instead of pulling it hard. The reason is that pulling out gray hair can easily cause damage to the hair follicles, which can lead to folliculitis and even localized hair loss.
At the same time, reduce the frequency of perming and dyeing as much as possible to prevent further damage to the hair and scalp caused by chemical chemicals.
If the gray hair is caused by diseases such as alopecia areata and vitiligo, then standardized treatment is required for that primary disease.
The appearance of gray hair is a reminder from our body.
It reminds us to pay attention to those neglected details of life, such as diet, sleep, and emotions.
By observing the location of gray hair and finding the underlying internal organs causes, and then using mild dietary therapy and good living habits to make adjustments, although there is no way to instantly restore black hair all over the head, it can indeed gradually improve the condition of the hair, and also make the whole person more energetic and energetic.
