Comb is a necessity for everyone in life. People comb their hair with a comb before going to work or going out every day. Combs can make messy hair smoother, and combing hair can also promote blood circulation, which is very beneficial to some people with insomnia. This knowledge is introduced below.
"combing" the neck-preventing colds
Studies have shown that massage at Dazhui point can enhance human immunity. Dazhui point is located at the lower end of the neck, in the depression under the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra. It is the intersection of the three Yang meridians of the hands and feet and the Du meridian. Regardless of the Three Yang Meridian of the Hand or the Three Yang Meridian of the Foot, collaterals are distributed at Dazhui point and intersect with the Du Meridian.
Massage Dazhui point with the back or handle of a comb often can improve the immunity of the body and prevent diseases such as cold, malaria, cough, cervical spondylosis, shoulder and back pain. Especially in autumn and winter, the temperature changes suddenly, which is particularly easy to cause colds. Therefore, you should always massage Dazhui point with a comb back to keep away from colds and protect your health.
Comb your hair-refresh your mind and improve your sleep
Combing your hair often can promote sleep. Guo Shangxian, a Song Dynasty man, wrote in the book Qing Louis: "Comb your hair and wash your feet to live forever, and lie down to be peaceful." Therefore, for people who often suffer from insomnia, combing their hair often may get unexpected results.
In addition to improving sleep, combing the hair helps to dispel rheumatism in the head, promote blood circulation in the head, nourish hair, reduce white hair, prevent alopecia, and relieve headache and fatigue. Especially for patients with hypertension and arteriosclerosis, frequent stimulation of Baihui point, temple point and Fengchi point by combing their hair can reduce blood pressure and have special effects on dizziness caused by unstable blood pressure.
For the sake of health, it is best to comb it once in the morning and once in the evening. Use a comb along the meridian direction, starting from the middle of the forehead, then comb the hair, pillow and neck evenly, and then comb the sides, not too slowly or too fast. Generally, it can be combed 100 times at a time.
"Comb" Back-Preventing Back Pain
Traditional Chinese medicine often says that "the general principle does not hurt, but the pain will not work." Office white-collar workers are often sedentary. Over time, you will have stiff muscles, poor qi and blood, backache and backache, especially the ma3 jia3 fossa. They are always comfortable with irresistible things.
At this time, if you often pat or massage your back with a comb back or a comb handle, you can massage the acupuncture points on your back, thus dredging the meridians and promoting blood circulation. Both men and women, urban white-collar workers may wish to prepare a comb in the drawer of the office. After working for a period of time, they can take out their combs and pat them gently on their backs to relieve their work fatigue and maintain their vigorous energy at any time.
Tip: Generally speaking, combs made of natural materials that do not generate static electricity are more suitable, such as horn combs and wooden combs, while combs made of nylon and plastic are prone to generate static electricity, which is harmful to hair and skin and should not be used. When buying a comb, you should pay attention to the density of comb teeth. The density of comb teeth should be moderate and the ends of teeth should not be too sharp. Remember to clean the comb often and keep it clean at all times.
Comb your hair to improve sleep quality
The improvement of sleep in the second and third trimester can sometimes be reflected in daily small behaviors. Casual actions in daily life may improve sleep. Combing your hair is a good way to improve your sleep. Combing hair with a wooden comb can promote scalp blood circulation and improve sleep quality.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, there are many very important acupoints in the head, such as temples, and the meridians in the human body that can run qi and blood, nourish the body, enhance the body's immunity and maintain blood circulation are all directly or indirectly related to the human head. Therefore, combing your hair during pregnancy is equivalent to massaging your head.
Through this special massage on the head, it acts on the acupuncture points on the head, which dilates the blood vessels in the brain and increases the blood flow. Therefore, combing hair during pregnancy can ensure adequate blood supply in daily sleep and sufficient oxygen and nutrition in the brain, thus reducing brain fatigue and degeneration during pregnancy and promoting brain development.
Therefore, if you comb your hair before going to bed, you can improve your sleep quality. In addition, combing your hair after waking up in the morning can also play a role in promoting brain wakefulness.
Comb your hair with a wooden comb to improve your immunity.
Comb hair and grate head are mentioned in many places in A Dream of Red Mansions. Emperor Qianlong lived to be 89 years old, and "combing his hair often" was one of his health secrets. The most important point in the middle of the head is called Baihui point. The function of combing the hair is to massage this acupoint, which can not only maintain the hair, make it more shiny and less hair loss, but also help the health care during pregnancy. When a pregnant mother combs her hair, she combs it forward or backward with Baihui point as the center.
In addition, combing the hair with a wooden comb stimulates the meridians and viscera of the head to correspond to the holographic acupoints on the head surface, and the biological information generated during the operation acts on the head through the inductive relationship between the meridians and holography, so that the pores of the head are opened and excreted, and the pathogens are dispersed. This can dredge channels and collaterals, invigorate Yang Can, remove blood stasis, supplement oxygen and regulate viscera, thus improving the body's disease resistance.
Comb your hair, as well as nerve reflex, improve blood circulation and promote the metabolism of tissues and cells. This subtle relationship and subtle function runs through the whole process of combing your hair.
On the other hand, if you want better physical therapy, you should be patient when combing your hair. It's best to apply a comb to the scalp and repeat it, so that the surface of your head will generate slight heat. Generally speaking, combing your hair can achieve health care. After three months of pregnancy, it is best for pregnant mothers to comb their hair with a wooden comb for about 10 minutes each time, and it is best to do it once in the morning and evening.
Combing your hair can prevent hair loss.
Many pregnant mothers think that their hair itself is very fragile, and they will lose a lot of hair when combing their hair, so they dare not comb their hair, thinking that the more they comb their hair, the more they lose it. In fact, combing hair correctly with a wooden comb will not only lead to hair loss, but also prevent hair loss.
Moreover, pregnant mothers find that a lot of hair loss is not caused by combing their hair, but the hair of pregnant mothers is very fragile and easy to fall off, even if they don't comb their hair, it will gradually fall off. Comb your hair often, which can promote the blood circulation of the scalp and make pregnant mothers' fragile hair get more nutrition, which is very beneficial to prevent hair loss.
In addition, regular combing during pregnancy can strengthen the friction on the scalp, dredge blood vessels, improve blood circulation in the head, and make the hair nourished, dark and smooth, and the hair roots are firm. Combing your hair every morning and evening from the fourth week of pregnancy can dredge menstruation, promote blood circulation in the head, prevent white hair and yellow hair caused by hair malnutrition, and help pregnant mothers prevent postpartum alopecia.
However, when a pregnant mother combs her hair, there are two principles for choosing a comb. The first is to choose a comb without static electricity, and the second is to try to choose a comb with wider teeth, which can best protect her hair. In fact, Bian Xiao thinks that wooden combs are a better choice, while plastic combs are the least recommended because static electricity is obvious.
