1, what are the advantages of combing your hair often?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that meridians (channels that run qi and blood, connect zang-fu organs with the body surface and all parts of the body, and are the regulation system of human body functions) are distributed all over the human body, and the relationship between internal and external organs of the human body and the reconciliation of qi and blood depend on these meridians for conduction. People's qi and blood need to reach the whole body through meridians to play its due physiological role: nourishing tissues and organs, resisting the invasion of foreign evils and defending the normal physiological functions of the body. The human head is the place where "all the yang places will be connected with all the veins". Huangdi Neijing said: "The head is the house of wisdom", which is not only rich in acupuncture points (up to dozens), but also an important part where the the twelve meridians and the eight strange meridians meet, and "the essence of the five internal organs is concentrated on the head". There are Baihui, Sishencong and Shangxing on the head, sun and valley on the temples, wind pool, dumb door, jade pillow and hurricane on the pillow, and dozens of acupoints such as Tang Yin on the forehead. Comb the hair with a comb, and the comb teeth are scraped back and forth on the scalp, which can repeatedly rub and stimulate multiple acupuncture points and meridians on the head, effectively dredge qi and blood, nourish strong hair, strengthen the brain and ears, dispel wind and improve eyesight, and prevent and treat headaches. As early as the Sui Dynasty, the famous doctor Chao clearly pointed out that combing hair has the functions of dredging blood vessels, expelling wind and removing dampness, and making hair not white. Ancient important medical documents such as Acupuncture A-B Meridian, Ling Shu Fever, Su Wen, and Air Cavity Theory also said that long-term massage or stimulation of Baihui, Fengchi, Jade Pillow and Dumb Door can cure intractable diseases such as stroke, tinnitus, sleepwalking, headache, dizziness, backache, neurasthenia, deafness and sexual decline.
Modern medical research has proved that the head is the highest command of the human body and the seat of the five senses and the central nervous system. Combing your hair often can strengthen the moderate friction and stimulation to the scalp, and generate bioelectric induction locally, which can improve the blood circulation of the head and intracranial oxygen supply, promote the metabolism of tissues and cells, not only nourish the hair, make it soft and shiny, and prevent it from falling off, but also enhance memory, improve hearing and vision, relieve headaches and prevent colds. At the same time, combing the hair can improve the nerve excitability of the head, promote vasodilation, accelerate lymphatic reflux, help lower blood pressure, and especially play a good role in preventing stroke. As the saying goes, "comb your hair for ten minutes to prevent stroke" is the truth. Combing hair is an active massage activity, which can also increase the nutritional supply of brain cells, strengthen the brain, refresh the mind, relieve fatigue, prevent brain aging and delay brain aging, which is of great benefit to promoting health and longevity. Appropriately combing the scalp until it is slightly hot before going to bed can relax the nerves, improve the poor sleep caused by the fast pace of life and heavy work pressure of modern people, and help improve the quality of sleep. Some scholars even believe that one of the important reasons why women live longer than men is that they often comb their hair. It can be seen that the old saying "comb your hair often" is very reasonable.
Combing your hair often can strengthen your body and drive away diseases.
Ji Kang, a metaphysical scholar at the end of the Wei Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms, said in On Health Preservation: "In March of spring, I comb my hair once or twice every dynasty." That is to tell people that in the three months of spring, getting up every morning should form the habit of combing their hair, which is conducive to fitness and health. Why do you emphasize combing your hair in spring? This is because spring is the season when the sun's spirit rises in nature, and the human body's sun's spirit also conforms to nature and has the characteristics of rising upward and outward, which is manifested in the gradual opening of pores, strengthening the function of circulatory system, vigorous metabolism of the body and rapid growth of tissues and bones. Therefore, in spring health care, people must adapt to the weather and human physiology, stretch their limbs, harmonize qi and blood, and dredge meridians, so as to enhance the body's adaptability to external climate changes and improve the body's disease resistance. Combing hair in spring meets the requirements of keeping fit in spring. It can invigorate yang, relieve stagnation, dredge qi and blood, and of course, strengthen the body.
In addition, combing hair has a good effect on some chronic neurological or mental diseases. If you suffer from migraine, comb your hair repeatedly with a comb and gently pat your scalp for 3~5 minutes, and the symptoms will be relieved; If you suffer from neurasthenia or insomnia, and people who think too much and cause nervous headache, comb their hair once a day in the morning, at noon and at night for 3-5 minutes each time, and then scrape their scalp with a comb several times to make them feel sore, which can alleviate or eliminate the symptoms. Comb your hair can also cure trigeminal neuralgia: after getting up every morning and before going to bed, comb your hair from your forehead to your back neck, and comb it about 25 times a minute at the beginning. After 5 minutes, the speed will gradually increase, but the force should be even, not too strong, so as not to hurt the scalp. The pain can be gradually relieved after each combing 10 minute. If combing hair and qigong are combined, the fitness effect will be better. The method is: in the morning, at noon and at night, go to the outdoor place with fresh air, stand, with your feet shoulder-width apart, your knees slightly bent, your head straight, your eyes straight, your tongue on the palate, and your whole body relaxed. Press your forehead gently with your palm, rub it down to your chin through your nose and mouth, then turn to your back neck, brush your head up and return to your forehead. * * Do it 36 times. Then use a comb from the front hairline through the top of the head to the back neck, and then from the back neck through the top of the head to the front hairline, gently and repeatedly comb the hair and skin; Then comb in opposite directions from the upper part of the left ear and the right ear through the top of the head (that is, the right ear and the left ear); Finally, comb the hair from the temple (two combs can be done at the same time) through the upper part of the ear to the back of the neck, 36 times each.
In a word, combing your hair frequently (especially in spring) is really good for your physical and mental health, but many people usually suffer from not having enough time to do it. In fact, you can comb your hair for the next two hours every day: 1. After a hard day's work, especially before going to bed every night, combing your hair for 5~ 10 minutes (the surface of your head is preferably slightly hot) can not only relax your nerves, eliminate fatigue, but also sleep peacefully, so that your brain can get a full rest; 2. After getting up in the morning, it takes 5~ 10 minutes to comb your hair, which can not only refresh your mind, but also throw yourself into life, work and study with a relaxed and happy mood.
Tips:
2. What is the best comb?
There are many kinds of combs on the market. What comb is most beneficial to health? According to the material of combs, common combs can be divided into angle combs, ebony combs, mahogany combs, plastic combs and steel combs. Experts recommend angle comb and red wood comb, which are convenient and practical and have no static electricity. Especially horn comb, usually made of natural horn, is an ideal hair care comb. People who usually like fragrance and beautiful appearance can consider choosing ebony comb. Generally speaking, it is not recommended to use plastic combs and steel combs, because it is easy to generate static electricity when combing your hair, which will damage your hair. At the same time, the teeth should not be too dense (the stimulation effect is poor) or too sharp to prevent accidental scalp injury when combing the hair.
