Only when people live in harmony with nature can the effect of health preservation be better. Therefore, spring health care focuses on maintaining the head, and head health care cannot ignore the hair. Besides daily care, you should also take time out for a walk to relax your muscles. Huangdi Neijing pointed out: "In spring and March, heaven and earth are born, everything is glorious, lying at night and getting up early, striding to court, mentally retarded ... the way to keep fit is also." Especially women, don't tie their hair too tightly, but loosen it, so as to make their emotions stretch, their blood flow smoothly, and make the whole person full of vitality, echoing the breath of spring. Too tight hair will not only affect hair growth, but also induce headaches and affect mood.
In spring, there is one of the simplest and most applicable ways to maintain the head and hair, and that is combing the hair. Don't underestimate the small use of combing hair, but it has the great beauty of keeping in good health. Ji Kang, one of the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest" in Jin Dynasty, said in On Health Preservation: "In spring and March, I comb my hair once or twice every dynasty." It is said that spring is very suitable for combing hair for health. Chao, a famous doctor in Sui Dynasty, pointed out that combing hair can dredge blood circulation, dispel wind and remove dampness, and make hair not white. Su Dongpo has a deeper understanding. He once said, "comb your hair a hundred times, lie down and sleep until dawn." Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the paired meridians and eight strange meridians of the human body are all over the body and everywhere. These meridians connect the internal and external organs of the human body, so that qi and blood can reach the whole body, which plays a role in nourishing tissues and organs, resisting external evils and protecting the body. These meridians extend in all directions and crisscross, and most of them converge directly on the head or act indirectly on the head. There is a Baihui point in the center of the brain, which is the meeting point of meridians. By combing your hair, you can stimulate meridians and acupoints, stimulate your vitality to guide meridians and regulate qi and blood. Smooth channels and collaterals and dredge qi and blood can nourish hair growth, strengthen yang, regulate viscera, strengthen brain and ears, dispel wind and improve eyesight, and prevent and treat headaches. Modern medicine believes that combing hair regularly and strengthening the friction between face and scalp can improve the blood circulation of the head, step into cell metabolism, and increase the nutritional supply of scalp and hair through nerve reflex. Regular combing can not only make hair shiny and black, but also promote blood supply to the brain, which helps to prevent brain aging, lower blood pressure and prevent stroke.
Although you can comb your hair all year round, combing your hair in spring has incomparable effects in other three seasons. This is because spring is the season when the yang in nature germinates and rises, and the yang in human body also conforms to nature, the pores gradually expand, the function of circulatory system is strengthened, the metabolism is vigorous, and it grows rapidly, which is manifested as rising. Combing hair in spring meets the requirements of keeping fit in spring. Although it is only a little effort, it can promote stagnation, dredge qi and blood, and reach the sun be the spirit. Can access the yang, promote stagnation, dredge qi and blood, of course, this is also beneficial to health.
In addition, it is also necessary to explain to you that combing your hair in spring is for health. First of all, you should comb all your hair. No matter from the middle of the head or both sides, let the comb act on the scalp and comb it repeatedly from the hairline of the forehead to the root of the neck. It is better to comb when the yang rises in the morning, and it is better to do it once in the morning and once in the evening. Second, be patient, comb each part at least 50 times to make the scalp feel slightly hot. Third, the choice of comb, the material is very important, with horn comb, jade comb and wooden comb as well. Because the plastic or metal comb will generate a lot of static electricity when it comes into contact with the hair, it will bring bad stimulation to the hair, leading to dry hair, yellowing and even hair loss. Natural combs have unique medical and health care functions, such as boxwood combs, which have the effect of clearing away heat and toxic materials; Horn comb can not only clear away heat and detoxify, but also cool blood, dispel wind and remove dampness.
