Combing your hair like this in March is the most healthy way

Best in the morning, comb 50 times to be effective

"The Theory of Health Preservation" says: "In the three months of spring, comb your hair one or two hundred times every morning." At this time, the body's yang energy conforms to nature and has the characteristics of rising upward and outward. The head is the meeting point of all yang, and combing your hair more often every day is beneficial to the circulation of yang energy and the unblocking of qi and blood. It is a health-preserving method that has been highly valued by doctors of all dynasties.

Although combing hair is a habit that people have developed for a long time, it is not so easy to comb hair well in spring to cater to the growth of yang energy. First of all, the best time to comb your hair in spring is in the morning, because morning is the time when Yang energy is generated. Combing your hair at this time can promote the generation of Yang energy, help the circulation of Qi and blood, clear the head, and prevent the occurrence of spring sleepiness. Secondly, when combing your hair, you should start from the forehead. No matter you comb the middle or the sides, you should pass the front hairline and comb all the way to the roots of the hair at the back of the neck. This can effectively dredge the meridians and strengthen the spleen and stomach. The number of times you comb your hair should not be too few, it should be guaranteed to be effective more than 50 times, and the upper limit of combing is based on how comfortable you feel. Preferably use horn comb, jade comb or wooden comb. In addition, you can also try combing your hair with your fingers: use the ten fingers of both hands to comb the hair from the hairline on the forehead to the hairline on the back of the neck, rub your scalp while combing, with slow and gentle movements, about 10 minutes each time. It can massage the scalp, nourish the hair, invigorate the brain and ears, relieve headaches, and strengthen the body.

Get up early and comb your hair to prevent colds in early spring

After the beginning of spring, the temperature changes between morning and evening are more obvious, and you will catch a cold if you are not careful. In this regard, Wang Tong, a researcher at the Beijing Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine and an expert in Chinese medicine health care, said that people are prone to catching colds in early spring mostly due to wind evil. In addition to wearing more clothes, people can also comb their hair to effectively resist wind-cold.

Combing your hair can prevent wind-cold. The key is to effectively stimulate the Fengchi and Fengfu points when combing your hair. Fengfu point is located 1 inch above the center of the hairline at the back of the head. It is the weakest point in the brain. Once this place is affected by wind evil, people will experience symptoms such as headache, chills, and stiff neck. There is a depression two inches outside the Fengfu point, which is the Fengchi point. Fengchi point is located on the foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian and is also the entrance of wind evil. Once you catch a cold here, you will feel bitter in your mouth and dizziness. When combing your hair, effectively stimulating these two acupoints can enhance positive energy and dispel wind and cold.

Wang Tong suggested that since the body's positive energy is still being generated in the morning, combing hair in the morning is more effective than at other times. First, comb from the hairline of the forehead backwards, then bend over and comb from the roots of the hair at the back of the neck forwards, and then comb from the upper part of the left and right ears in opposite directions respectively. When combing your hair, you can bend forward or lean back to promote blood circulation, and use slow force and speed. Repeat each combing movement 5 to 6 times.
