Long white hair originates from "emptiness"
Zhang Cang said, "In fact, regardless of the cause of white hair, it is all caused by" deficiency ". Even the so-called" blood heat "caused Shao Bai Tou is essentially caused by the dissipation of liver, blood, and kidney essence in the body
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine theory, hair is not only related to blood, but also to the kidneys. Therefore, the essence of the kidneys lies in the hair. When the heart and kidneys are not in harmony (insomnia, neurasthenia), or when the innate endowment is insufficient, or when excessive consumption of blood essence is considered, or when the fear of damaging kidney essence is felt, the hair will turn white.
Under normal circumstances, after the age of 40, white hair will grow. This is because as age increases, the essence of the kidneys gradually decreases, and if hair cannot be nourished, white hair will appear. This is a natural phenomenon and does not require treatment. But if the hair suddenly turns white for a period of time, it is mostly caused by the disorder of qi in the body. At this time, targeted treatment is taken for the cause, and often the white hair can turn black again.
Excessive worry leads to premature appearance of white hair
Modern medicine believes that excessive anxiety, panic, fright, mental fatigue and other conditions will cause vasospasm, which supplies hair nutrition, to obstruct the function of secreting melanin, which will lead to white hair. For example, in people's lives, they often encounter this situation. When their career is not smooth, or their family dies, or they encounter a serious illness, they will grow a lot of white hair in a short period of time, and even all their hair will turn white in a short period of time. This is actually caused by the influence of emotions.
Emotional depression or excessive worry can lead to liver depression and qi stagnation, causing disharmony in the circulation of qi and blood, resulting in blood not being able to nourish hair and turning white. This type of person is usually accompanied by dry mouth and throat, indigestion, chest tightness and bloating, especially in middle-aged people with high pressure.
What should be done to prevent white hair
However, for this situation, there is no need to worry, because as long as the symptoms are adjusted, white hair can turn black again.
Firstly, maintain mental optimism and avoid excessive mental stimulation, as optimistic and open-minded emotions are crucial for preventing early onset of gray hair.
Secondly, a reasonable diet is closely related to hair health. Usually, one should eat more fresh vegetables, have a light and diverse diet, overcome unhealthy habits such as partial eating, and maintain a balanced nutrition in the body, thus achieving the effect of dietary therapy to prevent white hair. Usually, you can also eat nourishing foods such as walnuts, sesame seeds, and agaric, which can help with hair growth. When there are signs of white hair at the beginning, you can eat some kidney tonifying traditional Chinese medicine, such as brewing Polygonum multiflorum and drinking it instead of tea.
Recommend several common kidney strengthening dietary therapies
Once again, massaging the scalp can promote blood circulation and improve the supply of nutrients to the head. You can use a comb to comb your hair, or rub your hair with the palm or fingers, once a day in the morning and once in the evening, for 1-2 minutes each time.
Finally, Zhang Cang said, "Long white hair is mostly a natural phenomenon, so don't worry too much. Moreover, there is currently no specific medicine for treating white hair in clinical practice, so don't trust the so-called magical black hair drugs on the market, otherwise eating bad hair will not be worth the loss
