Autumn wind gradually rises, leaves drift away, and many people are surprised to find that their hair is also falling off like autumn leaves. Don't panic! This is actually a normal manifestation of the body's "energy harvesting" in accordance with natural laws. Autumn hair care focuses on following nature and harmonizing qi and blood. Through comprehensive measures such as dietary maintenance, meridian dredging, emotional regulation, and adequate sleep, not only can hair loss be reduced, but hair can also be made darker and more shiny. As the saying goes, 'cultivating both internal and external factors, treating the same symptoms and root causes', this is precisely the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine for health preservation. In autumn, it is believed that the physiological activities of the human body are closely related to the changes of the four seasons, which is known as the "correspondence between heaven and man" in traditional Chinese medicine. Spring is born and summer is long, autumn is harvested and winter is stored. This is not only a natural law, but also a reflection of the circulation of qi and blood in the human body. When autumn comes, nature begins to converge, and the body's yang energy is also collected from the outside in. The Qi and blood that were originally filled on the surface of the body gradually converge into the depths of the organs, and the hair, which is the "end" of the body, falls off due to "nutrient deprivation", which is a manifestation of natural laws. Reminder: The normal amount of hair loss per person per day is between 50 and 70 strands, which is the normal metabolism of hair. But if there is a significant increase in hair loss in the short term, exceeding 70 hairs per day, or if patchy hair loss occurs, it is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner, identify the cause, and receive targeted treatment. Maintaining the "roots" of hair is the key to stability. Now that we understand the principles of autumn hair loss, we have a direction for our hair care methods. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the principle of "treating diseases and seeking the root cause", and hair care should also start from the fundamental level. Therefore, to bid farewell to hair loss, it is necessary to take good care of the liver and kidneys and regulate the internal organs, especially the liver and kidneys. The kidney is the foundation of innate development, responsible for the growth of bone and marrow, and its manifestation is present; The liver stores blood and produces it in addition to blood. Modern people have a fast-paced lifestyle, high levels of stress, and often stay up late, all of which can deplete their liver and kidney qi. Therefore, it is advisable to consume more kidney tonifying products such as black sesame seeds, black beans, and walnuts in daily diet. At the same time, autumn dryness can damage the lungs, which are mainly composed of fur and fur. Nourishing the lungs can also strengthen hair. Yam can invigorate the spleen and kidney, nourish the lungs and nourish the yin. Lily can moisten the lungs and nourish the yin. Lotus root can clear heat and produce fluids, all of which are good ingredients for nourishing hair in autumn. Learn to do yoga on the scalp. The head is a "highland" where qi and blood converge. Combing hair can unblock meridians, activate yang energy, and make the hair "full" of nutrients. Action tips: Every morning and before going to bed, use a wooden comb or fingers to comb from the hairline on the forehead to the occipital area, and then comb from the temples on both sides to the top of the head, each combing a hundred times. When combing, the intensity should be moderate, with a slight heat on the scalp as the temperature. Combining acupoints with meals and pressing the Baihui acupoint (located in the center of the head) and the Sishen Cong acupoint (one inch in front, back, left, right) for three to five minutes each time can achieve twice the result with half the effort. This method may seem simple, but it can effectively stimulate the head's yang energy and promote blood circulation. Emotionally stable hair is necessary to resist the "sad autumn syndrome". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "anger harms the liver", and excessive emotional fluctuations can affect the liver's drainage function, thereby affecting blood production and circulation. Autumn is already prone to feelings of sadness, and it is even more important to actively regulate emotions. You can cultivate your temperament by listening to music, practicing calligraphy, practicing Tai Chi, etc. You can also invite three or five friends to have tea and chat, keeping your mood relaxed. This is a must see for staying up late. If you don't sleep at this time, it's hard to keep your hair safe. Go to bed before 23:00 to keep your hair safe. At the hour of Zi (11pm to 1am), the gallbladder meridian is in charge, and at the hour of Chou (1am to 3am), the liver meridian is in charge. This is the golden time for nourishing the liver and blood. If you can enter deep sleep at this time, your liver blood will nourish and your hair will naturally flourish. The ancients said, 'When lying down, blood returns to the liver.' Adequate sleep is the foundation for nourishing hair. Give the scalp a cup of "health tea". If the hair loss problem is severe, you can try to combine it with external washing with traditional Chinese medicine for auxiliary conditioning. The specific method is to take 30g of side cypress leaves, 30g of mulberry leaves, 15g of ginger, 15g of angelica, and 30g of chicken blood vine, boil them in water, and use them to wash hair when the temperature of the medicine is suitable. This can be done two to three times a week. These medicinal herb combinations have the effects of promoting blood circulation, unblocking meridians, cooling blood, dispelling wind, and stabilizing hair. However, when washing hair, it is important to note that the water temperature should not be too high to prevent damage to scalp health. If combined with medicinal herbs such as roasted Polygonum multiflorum, drought lotus, black sesame, mulberries, and dodder seeds for oral administration, the effect will be more significant. However, oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine must be carried out under the guidance of professional physicians to ensure safety and effectiveness. (New Society)
