Generally speaking, Asians will have white hair in the late 30-40 s, which is determined by genetic inheritance. The sooner parents get gray hair, the sooner children usually get gray hair.
In addition, disease factors will also accelerate the growth of white hair. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, it is easy to have white hair when there are problems in two organs of the body.
kidney
Chinese medicine believes that hair is not only blood, but also kidney, that is, the nutrition of hair comes from blood and its vitality is rooted in kidney. If the kidney essence is sufficient, the qi and blood in the body will be full, and the hair will grow luxuriantly under its nourishment, black and bright, and it is not easy to fall off.
Therefore, if there is a sudden increase in white hair, or if the hair becomes dry and the hair loss increases, it is likely to be caused by kidney deficiency, and it is necessary to properly tonify the kidney and solidify the essence.
Auricularia auricula breakfast sauce
This is a daily regimen used by Chen, a famous old Chinese doctor. The method is simple. After washing the fungus, put it into a cooking machine, add a few cloves of garlic and mash it into a paste, and then add seasonings such as soy sauce, oyster sauce and pepper according to personal taste.
Eating half a bowl of tonifying kidney and nourishing blood every morning is very suitable as a daily diet prescription for tonifying kidney.
liver
The liver stores blood, and when the liver function runs normally, the blood gas is vigorous and the hair can be black and thick; If the liver function is not smooth, the stagnation of liver qi will aggravate symptoms such as white hair and alopecia, and may also be accompanied by symptoms such as pain in both ribs, chest tightness, constipation, weakness of limbs and laziness.
Shugan Sanqi tea

① The nutrient intake is not balanced.
Partial eclipse, picky eaters, unreasonable weight loss, and frequent take-out can easily lead to uneven nutrient intake. If the human body lacks B vitamins, copper, iron and other nutrients for a long time, it will also change its hair color.

③ Long-term smoking
Smoking will increase the production of oxygen free radicals in the body, which will not only destroy melanin and cause white hair, but also lead to increased hair loss. According to statistics, the probability of premature gray hair of smokers is 2.5 times that of non-smokers.
4 often stay up late.
Lack of sleep will disturb the autonomic nervous system of human body, affect blood circulation, reduce the function of hair mother cells and melanocytes, thus leading to an increase in white hair.
