Can't wash your hair during menstruation?

Have girls noticed a problem, that is, their mothers often tell them not to wash their hair during menstruation, or not to wash their hair frequently? Have you ever thought about why? The question of whether you can't wash your hair during menstruation may appear in the minds of many girls. In fact, there is no basis for not washing your hair during menstruation in Western medicine, but it is completely different for Chinese medicine.

Because girls' bodies are at their weakest during menstruation, as the membrane in the uterus will fall off, taking away many cells from the body. So if girls wash their hair at this time, they will be more likely to catch a cold.

1. Western medicine believes that there is no medical basis for not washing your hair during menstruation, but Chinese medicine theory disagrees. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the head is the head of the six yang meridians and the uterus is the starting point of the Ren meridian. During menstrual period, blood circulation is inherently poor. Washing your hair will cause blood to concentrate in the head, affecting the blood circulation in the uterus, making it impossible for the blood in the uterus to be discharged smoothly, which can easily cause a decrease in menstrual blood volume or menstrual pain.

2. On the other hand, since the pores on the hair roots are open, if you catch a cold at this time, it is easy to cause headaches, especially if you wash your hair at night or before going to bed.

3. Since night is yin and head is the first of six yang, when yin and yang are at odds, headaches will be more serious. If you go to bed immediately before your hair is completely dry, and your body's resistance and metabolism are low, all kinds of problems will definitely find you.

4. Scientists' research results also show that if you wash your hair during menstruation, the brain nerves will be stimulated and the uterus will contract. If the uterus contracts, the hormone secretion in the body will become disordered. If this situation accumulates over time, it will cause cell canceration and lead to gynecological cancers such as breast cancer and uterine cancer.

5. Women's body resistance will be weaker during menstruation than usual. At this time, you must pay attention to maintenance. If you don't pay attention, it is likely to have a certain impact on the body. Therefore, it is best for female friends not to wash their hair during menstruation. If there are special circumstances, they cannot wash their hair in the first three days. Do not use cold water to wash your hair, but hot water.

The above is an explanation to everyone about the question of whether you can’t wash your hair during menstruation. I hope everyone will be more alert after reading it. The arrival of menstruation is when girls’ bodies are at their weakest. At this time, the body is susceptible to invasion by bacteria, so girls should protect their bodies more at this time and eat some nourishing foods to buffer the damage.
