From the white hair area! Get familiar with your physical condition

When talking about gray hair, people always lament the approaching aging. In fact, gray hair can occur at any age, and the location of the gray hair can also determine your health status. Below, Chinese medicine will teach you how to check your own health based on the location of your gray hair.

White hair on forehead - spleen and stomach disorders

The reflex area corresponding to the forehead is the spleen and stomach. Regulating the spleen and stomach is very helpful in preventing and treating gray hair on the forehead. People with poor spleen and stomach often suffer from abdominal bloating, abdominal pain, stomach acid, bland mouth without thirst, cold limbs, and loose stools. Some people often have bad breath, excessive appetite, or edema of the limbs, fear of cold and preference for warmth, clear or difficult urination, which are all symptoms of spleen and stomach deficiency and cold.

Countermeasure: Patients with weak spleen and stomach can cook a pot of ginger porridge every three to five days. The ingredients are very simple, 3 grams of fresh ginger and 60 grams of polished rice. When making porridge, cut the fresh ginger into shreds and put it into the pot with the polished rice and cook until it is mush. You can drink 1 to 2 small bowls of it while it is warm during breakfast and dinner. You can also sprinkle some sesame salt according to your personal taste when eating. Fresh ginger is pungent and warm, and has the effects of dispelling cold and inducing sweating, warming the stomach and relieving pain, and killing bacteria and anti-inflammation. It has a good effect in treating deficiency-cold gastritis and ulcerative gastritis.

Gray hair on the temples - Liver fire is strong

The internal organ reflex areas corresponding to the temples are the liver and gallbladder. People with excessive liver and gallbladder fire either have a bad temper or are prone to sulking, and are often accompanied by dry mouth, bitter mouth, dry tongue, sore eyes, etc. This is caused by excessive liver and gallbladder fire, which in turn causes damage to the spleen and stomach.

Countermeasures: In this case, the patient should eat light meals and can eat more eight-treasure porridge, lotus seed porridge, lotus seed and white fungus porridge, lotus seed heart tea, rose tea, and hawthorn tea. If you have severe bitter taste and dry mouth, you can eat more lotus seeds and bitter gourd. In terms of medication, you can take Longdan Xiegan Pills orally to soothe the liver and promote bile secretion.

Of course, bad mood is also a cause of getting angry. Therefore, this group of people with gray hair should keep a relaxed mood and it is best for them to engage in some cultural and sports activities that can add interest to their lives.

White hair on the back of the head - insufficient kidney qi

The reflex area corresponding to the back of the head is the bladder meridian. Patients with weak bladder meridian often have symptoms such as frequent urination, enuresis or urinary incontinence, and difficulty urinating. Because the main function of the bladder is to store and excrete urine, these patients are less likely to hold urine than normal people. The urination function of the bladder is closely related to the strength of kidney qi.

Countermeasure: Kidney-benefiting diet should be treated differently for men and women. Men are suitable for eating animal kidneys, dog meat, mutton, venison, sparrows, eels, loaches, shrimps, roosters, walnut kernels, black beans, etc.; women may wish to eat scallops, sea bass, chestnuts, wolfberries, and Polygonum multiflorum. Of course, male and female patients should also choose the above diet according to whether they have kidney yang deficiency or kidney yin deficiency.

How to prevent gray hair?

The ancients said that "hair is the residue of blood", which means that the growth and loss, moisture and dryness of hair mainly depend on the nourishment of the kidney essence and liver blood. Not eating or eating less rice and cereals as staple foods will inevitably damage the spleen and stomach, and indirectly damage the liver and kidneys. When people are young, their livers are full of qi and blood, so their hair grows fast and is shiny. But when they are old, their essence and blood are weak, and their hair turns white and falls out. The direct cause of this is insufficient nutrition provided by the spleen and stomach. Staple foods are rich in starch, sugars, protein, various vitamins and certain trace elements, which are essential nutrients to keep hair black and shiny. If middle-aged and elderly people do not consume enough staple foods and meat, it will often lead to premature graying of hair.

To prevent hair from turning gray, middle-aged and elderly people can often eat black rice, black beans, red beans, black sesame seeds, walnuts, etc. They should also eat more meat such as black chicken, beef, mutton, pork liver, and sea cucumber. In addition, middle-aged and elderly people often eat carrots, spinach, mushrooms, black fungus, etc., which are also beneficial to hair maintenance.

Myth: Pulling out one grey hair will result in ten more growing back?

The more you pull out your white hair, the more it grows. If you pull out one, ten will grow back?

The main reason for growing white hair is the reduced function of cells to produce melanin. Therefore, the saying that the more you pull out white hair, the more hair will grow and ten will grow has no scientific basis. However, pulling out white hair can cause scalp inflammation. At the same time, several hairs will grow from the same hair follicle. If you forcibly pull out the white hair, it will affect the growth of other healthy hair and cause hair loss, etc. Therefore, pulling out white hair is not recommended. If you cannot tolerate the presence of gray hair, you can cut it off close to the scalp.
