What's the matter with the alopecia areata on the head

Localized hair loss on the head proves to be alopecia areata, which is difficult to treat and needs to be slowly adjusted from the inside out. Hair represents Qi and blood. If a person lacks Qi and blood, he will naturally lose hair. Alopecia areata is more serious than normal hair loss. Patients with alopecia areata are prone to inferiority complex, which affects their normal life and work. Therefore, alopecia areata must be paid attention to and treated as soon as possible. So what is the cause of alopecia areata on the head?

Deficiency of Qi and blood: " Hair is the residue of blood" - due to congenital deficiency or serious illness, long-term illness or postpartum period, Qi and blood are consumed excessively. If Qi is deficient, blood will have difficulty being produced and will lose its function of warming the skin and closing the fur, resulting in empty hair roots and alopecia areata.

Blood stasis blocks the hair orifices: Blood stasis is both a pathological product and can also be a pathogenic factor. If blood stasis blocks the blood vessels due to prolonged stagnation of Qi, or due to accidental falls and injuries, or due to long-term illness, the hair orifices will become empty and lose nourishment, so that new blood cannot nourish the hair, and the hair will fall out.

Heat in the blood generates wind: People with a weak constitution or who usually like to eat spicy, hot, roasted and preserved foods, or who are depressed, may develop into fire over time, consume yin and blood, and cause heat in the blood to generate wind. The wind and heat rise with the qi to the top of the head, causing the wind to be strong and the blood to be dry. The hair roots cannot be nourished by the yin blood and alopecia areata occurs suddenly.

Deficiency of liver and kidney: Depression and anger will cause internal damage to the liver, blockage of Qi and obstruction of blood circulation. The liver is the organ of wind and wood, and relies on the water of the kidney for nourishment. The kidney governs the essence, and the liver stores blood. Essence and blood have the same origin. If the liver and kidney have sufficient essence and blood, the hair will be shiny. If the liver and kidney are deficient and the essence cannot be transformed into blood, the hair will grow weak and fall off in patches.

Treatments for alopecia areata:

Sufficient sleep can promote normal metabolism of skin and hair. The metabolic period is mainly at night, especially between 10 pm and 2 am. Sufficient sleep during this period can enable normal metabolism of hair. On the contrary, if the metabolism and nutrition of hair are out of balance, hair loss will occur.

Head massage can improve blood circulation in the head, thereby preventing alopecia areata. Mild head massage can improve scalp blood circulation and has a certain effect on preventing alopecia areata. However, high-intensity head massage will increase DNI, which will induce hair loss. It will also stimulate the secretion of sebaceous glands, further aggravating hair loss.

Avoid damage to hair: dyeing, perming and blow-drying will cause certain damage to the hair; hair dye and perming solution also have a great impact on the hair, and excessive use will cause the hair to lose its luster and elasticity, and even turn yellow and dry; ultraviolet rays in sunlight can cause damage to the hair, making it dry and yellow; warm and humid wind and cold air from air conditioners can be the cause of hair loss and gray hair.
