Nowadays, many young people will suddenly find a few white hairs popping out of their heads when they look in the mirror. If they are pulled out, they are worried that they will damage the hair follicles. If they are not dyed, they will look very old-fashioned.
In fact, there are two different situations of gray hair. One is caused by natural inheritance, and it is extremely difficult to change it with the help of acquired care. The other situation suddenly appears in the acquired stage, and this is exactly the signal sent by the body about the health status.
As the saying goes, "Where white hair grows, disease will arise from that place." White hair on the forehead, on the temples, and on the back of the head correspond to spleen and stomach problems, liver and gallbladder problems, and kidney problems respectively.
Today we will talk about how to understand these signals and use dietary therapy to scientifically regulate them so that white hair can gradually turn black.
If there are many white hairs on the forehead, check the spleen and stomach first
The forehead is where the stomach meridian travels. If a large number of gray hairs appear here, it is mostly related to the imbalance of the spleen and stomach.
People who are under great pressure at work, eat irregularly, and often stay up late are extremely prone to spleen deficiency or stomach heat.
In addition to gray hair, such people may also feel tired and sleepy, have a bloated stomach, and may not feel the fragrance when eating.
In fact, it is very simple to treat it. The dietary prescriptions left by our ancestors are very effective.
Select 15 grams of raw coix seed, 10 grams of tangerine peel, and 20 grams of Poria cocos. Place them together in a cup, brew with boiling water, and drink after five to ten minutes. You can continue to add water after drinking.
This recipe focuses on nourishing the spleen and stomach to remove moisture. When the spleen and stomach are well maintained, the gray hair on the forehead will naturally not appear again.
If you have long white hair on your temples, you should pay attention to your liver and gallbladder
The place where the temples are located is where the gallbladder meridian is located. If gray hair grows concentratedly on the temples, it usually has a certain relationship with the function of the liver and gallbladder.
Nowadays, many people are accustomed to staying up late, and they are under high work pressure. If they do this for a long time, it can easily lead to a lack of liver blood or excessive liver fire.
People who belong to this category, in addition to having white hair, may also be more prone to sulking. Occasionally, they may also experience dry mouth and bitter mouth.
If the symptoms tend to be more severe, such as relatively strong anger, dry mouth and obvious bitterness in the mouth, you can use 5 grams each of sophora flower, peony bark, and light bamboo leaves, brew it with boiling water and drink it as tea.
If the symptoms tend to be weak, with a yellowish complexion, easy fatigue, and lack of Qi and blood, then liver blood must be replenished.
Take 5 to 10 grams of Angelica sinensis, 5 to 10 grams of mulberries, and 5 to 10 grams of Ligusticum chuanxiong. Boil them together for 10 to 15 minutes. Drink them for a while, and you will gradually be able to notice the changes in your body.
White hair on the back of the head is caused by kidney qi
The places where the bladder meridian and the governor meridian pass are the top of the head and the back of the head. Gray hair gathers more here, mostly caused by kidney deficiency.
In addition to gray hair, some people may also suffer from weakness in the waist and knees and hair loss.
Kidneys are the foundation of your innate body. You have to take your time to nourish your kidneys. Diet therapy is the safest and most effective way.
Take a handful of black rice, between 30 and 50 grams, and a handful of black beans, also between 30 and 50 grams, and then add 15 grams of black sesame seeds. If you like, you can also add some dried mulberries and wolfberries, and then take them together and make soy milk for drinking.
If you don’t have time to make soy milk, you can just use dried mulberries, wolfberry and black rice to make porridge.
The kidney qi is slowly replenished, and the white hair on the top of the head will no longer be so dazzling. Black food enters the kidneys and insists on drinking a bowl every day.
It’s best not to pluck out white hair randomly and take good care of it.
Quite a few people have the idea of pulling out gray hair when they see it. In fact, it is not a big problem to pull out one or two hairs occasionally. However, if you pull out frequently or over a large area, it can easily cause damage to the hair follicles. Once bacterial infection occurs, it may also cause folliculitis, which may lead to hair loss.
If it looks like an eyesore, you can cut it off at the root. This way it won't damage the hair follicles, and it can be out of sight and out of mind for the time being.
In addition, you should quit cigarettes, stop drinking, and reduce the frequency of perming and dyeing your hair. The interval between two perms should not be less than half a year.
Friends who already have gray hair should pay attention to reducing the frequency of perming and dyeing. After all, the irritation of the scalp by chemicals is not a trivial matter.
How to make white hair truly black
If you want to turn white hair into black, in addition to the above-mentioned conditioning through diet, hair dyeing is indeed the fastest way to see results.
Although it sounds like a joke, this is indeed the most realistic option at the moment.
In view of the current situation, although scientists have discovered drugs that have certain prospects, until today, no drug has been approved and has been proven to achieve the effect of completely transforming white hair into black hair.
If the white hair is caused by some disease, such as alopecia areata or vitiligo, then the original disease must be cured first. Once the disease is cured, the white hair will naturally improve.
In daily life, eat more foods with kidney-tonifying effects such as black sesame seeds, black beans and walnuts to keep your mood in a comfortable state and not put too much pressure on yourself. It is ineffective to rush about gray hair, but it is easier to achieve results slowly.
There is no need to worry too much about gray hair. It is more about the body reminding us where we need to take care of ourselves.
If white hair appears on the forehead, the function of the spleen and stomach must be maintained; if white hair appears on the temples, the liver and gallbladder need to be regulated; if white hair appears on the top of the head, the kidneys must be nourished; if these fundamental problems are solved, white hair will naturally not appear so easily.
In normal times, you should pay more attention to your work and rest, reduce the behavior of staying up late, and put a little thought into your diet. It is actually much more effective than pulling out or dyeing it.
