Kidney deficiency usually causes white hair

In our impression, only old people have white hair, but it is not true. There are many young people around us who have a lot of white hair. In addition to genetic reasons, it may also be caused by stress. Another reason for gray hair that is often overlooked is kidney deficiency. People with kidney deficiency generally have white hair. So can white hair caused by kidney deficiency be treated? What should we pay attention to in daily life? Let’s take a look together.

1: Does kidney deficiency generally cause gray hair?

The external manifestation of the strength or weakness of the kidney energy in the body can be seen in the hair. Further analysis of the relationship between the kidneys and hair is mainly reflected in the physiological effects of the essence in the kidneys on the hair. The kidneys store essence, and essence produces blood. This shows that the formation of blood originates from the innate essence, which is transformed into blood to nourish the hair. Human vitality originates from the kidneys and is generated from the essence in the kidneys. Yuan Qi is the driving force behind the transformation of human life and can stimulate and promote hair growth. The physiological effects of kidney on hair are: first, kidney essence turns into blood to nourish hair; second, kidney essence turns into vital energy to stimulate hair growth; third, kidney essence nourishes hair through the Governor Vessel and meridian Qi. The Du meridian branches out from the spine and belongs to the kidneys. Therefore, the nutrition of hair comes from qi and blood, while its vitality is rooted in the kidneys. If the human body has sufficient kidney essence, the hair will develop normally and appear thick, shiny and smooth; otherwise, the hair will be sparse, withered and dull. Kidney yang deficiency is not exclusive to men, and kidney yin deficiency is not exclusive to women. Just as both men and women have both male and female hormones, men and women can experience kidney yang deficiency and kidney yin deficiency respectively. The relationship between kidney yang and kidney cathode is like the two sex hormones in the human body but not completely the same. Kidney deficiency will lead to hyperactivity of Yang (excessive fire). When Yang declines, Yin will flourish. Excessive secretion of male hormones will inevitably lead to low estrogen levels, and low estrogen levels will inevitably lead to high male hormone levels. The two are mutually restrictive and interdependent. It is very similar to the yin-yang relationship in traditional Chinese medicine theory. The typical phenomenon of kidney yang hyperactivity caused by kidney yin deficiency in men is hypersexuality. The typical phenomenon of kidney yang deficiency in women is "cold uterus and infertility". It is wrong to say that kidney yang deficiency is exclusive to men and kidney yin deficiency is exclusive to women! It is true that kidney yin deficiency is specific to hair loss, while kidney yang deficiency has nothing to do with hair loss.

2: Treatment for gray hair due to kidney deficiency?

1. Maintain a good attitude: Early treatment and early prevention should be carried out after illness so that the disease can be effectively controlled. In addition, don't be too nervous, be able to "think open-mindedly and let go", and learn to be good at adjusting your mental state. On the contrary, the more nervous you are and the more abnormal your mood is, the more serious the disease will be.

2. Get enough sleep, strengthen physical exercise, avoid excessive work and rest, and maintain a regular daily life. During the treatment period, not only should sexual intercourse be moderate, but also attention should be paid to preventing invasion of pathogenic factors, such as paying attention to hygiene and preventing pollution of the environment, water sources and food. Clinically, hair loss and gray hair are closely related to a person's spirit and sleep. Chronic depression or lack of sleep can put the nerves that supply the hair in a state of tension, causing blood vessels to constrict and hair to become insufficiently nourished, causing the hair to become dry, brittle, gray, and easy to fall out. At the same time, patients should overcome depression and communicate with close friends or confide in their brothers and sisters when they have unhappy things. In addition, it is also important to fall asleep at midnight (after 11pm).
