Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney controls the bone and produces marrow, which is connected with the brain, "its flowers are in the hair." Liver storing blood is "beyond blood". Because "the head is the meeting of all yang" and commands all spiritual and emotional activities, it is also said that hair is the flower of the brain. Chinese medicine believes that hair is closely related to organs such as kidney, liver, heart, spleen, lung and brain. Hair is black, moist and elastic, which means that the qi and blood are sufficient, the kidney is sufficient, the brain is healthy and vigorous, and the spirit is sufficient. Therefore, the brain-strengthening regimen has been regarded as one of the important measures for health and longevity in China.
