How about moxibustion to treat premature gray hair

Moxibustion is a health-preserving method that has become increasingly popular in recent years. Moxibustion can treat many diseases such as headaches, menstrual pain, stomach pain and so on. Moxibustion can also treat premature graying of hair. "Premature graying of hair" is a common name among the people, referring to the phenomenon of excessive white hair during adolescence. Let's learn about how moxibustion can treat premature graying of hair?

Young people should be full of vigor and have a head full of black hair. Having a lot of white hair during adolescence is a sign of illness and will make people look older.

To use moxibustion to treat "premature graying of hair", as long as you are familiar with a few meridian acupoints and master the basic knowledge of moxibustion, you can perform the treatment yourself at home. It is also easy to persist in the long term. As long as the method is appropriate, the patient will definitely be able to have black hair.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the appearance of gray hair is related to a person's insufficient kidney essence, because hair is the tip of the kidney, and the strength of kidney essence is directly related to a person's hair.

In addition, gray hair is related to poor liver qi and spleen dysfunction. The liver governs blood, and the spleen regulates blood. When the liver and spleen are out of harmony, qi and blood will be insufficient, and the hair will lose nourishment, so it turns white. A person's mental emotions have a great impact on the kidneys, liver, and spleen. Excessive tension, overuse of the brain, worry and panic will affect the circulation of Qi and blood in the body, leading to the appearance of gray hair. Therefore, there is a folk legend that "Wu Zixu's hair turned white overnight after passing Zhaoguan", which shows the impact of human psychological factors on physiology.

Moxibustion to treat premature graying of hair requires the use of six acupoints: Baihui, Touwei, Zusanli, Sanyinjiao, Shenshu and Yongquan. Warm moxibustion can be used, with moxa sticks suspended on the acupoints. Each acupoint should be moxibustioned for 10 minutes, with one acupoint being moxibustioned every other day. One course of treatment is one month. The effect can be seen after about three courses of treatment. Long-term persistence will allow you to have black hair.

For white hair caused by deficiency of essence and blood, we must supplement with food. You can make soup with black chicken, angelica, and astragalus, drink more brown sugar water to replenish qi and blood. You can also eat some ginger slices to remove dampness and cold, and then do moxibustion.

If moxibustion is used, mainly Guanyuan, Shenque and Mingmen are used. Mingmen is used to replenish qi and blood. If the spleen and stomach are not in harmony, add Zhongwan. If you want to increase the hemostatic effect, add Yinbai and Dadu. Moxibustion on these acupoints is very beneficial to women's qi and blood.

In addition, the recipe for treating white hair caused by deficiency of essence and blood with dietotherapy is very simple: 4 grams of angelica, 5 grams of astragalus and a black chicken are enough. You should drink this soup every day, 250 to 500 ml each time. Basically, you will see the effect after drinking it a few times. If you can keep drinking it all year round, it is very beneficial to your health. Gradually, as the essence and blood are replenished, they can nourish the scalp and hair, turning the hair from white to black.
