Qi-regulating method and hair care in "Tiaoyangjing"
Hair is a part of human body, which has many physiological functions. It can protect scalp and brain from external damage, resist direct sunlight and cold invasion, and maintain body temperature. After being caught in the rain and bathed, the hair will expel moisture from the skin and accelerate the drying of the skin. Hair can also be used to identify blood types and determine various trace elements, which will be of great help to the diagnosis of some diseases.

At the same time, hair is also a part of human appearance. Thick black hair is a part of the natural beauty of the human body and a symbol of healthy beauty. It can make people radiant and beautiful.

Everyone wants to have beautiful black hair, and now people pay more and more attention to the care and modification of hair. How to maintain your hair at ordinary times? Combined with many years of clinical experience, I want to talk about my personal experience.

Hair loss is a worldwide problem, because the causes of many hair loss are not completely clear at present. "Hair care" is to maintain and care for hair, that is, to maintain the quantity and quality of hair and keep it in the best condition.

People live in society, not only natural people, but also social people, that is, living in nature and, more importantly, living in society. Body and mind can not be separated from the influence of many social factors all the time. In modern society, the pace of life is fast and the competition is fierce, so people can't be happy in everything. Tension, fear and anxiety will obviously increase hair loss. Taking alopecia areata patients as an example, the observation of a large number of cases shows that the disease is closely related to mood and spirit, because psychological factors will make people in a state of tension, and depression will cause a series of psychological and physiological reactions, which will destroy the body's defense system and lead to hair loss.

At the same time, we should also pay attention to psychological counseling, that is, the relaxation of qi in Chinese medicine. Zhang Lao said in the book Experience of TCM Practice: "The core or key of regulating qi is ... to restore, adjust and activate its normal function of relieving qi, so as to maintain the smooth operation of human qi-moving machine." If you are mentally harmonious, calm and comfortable, your hair will naturally restore its physiological function.

I once treated a peasant woman who lost most of her house and property because of an careless fire at home. She was anxious and depressed, and her hair fell off in chunks. Coupled with financial constraints, the expression when I came to see a doctor was extremely painful. My prescription of traditional Chinese medicine focuses on psychological counseling, explaining the illness and prevention in a light rain, then exempting him from consulting fees, giving him financial help as much as possible, and instructing him to use ginger externally every day. A few months later, the patient came to thank him happily and told the local government to organize everyone to help him rebuild his house and help him find a way to get rich. He feels comfortable and has the ability to cure his hair loss. It can be seen from this case that relaxing qi and adjusting mentality are of great help to the treatment.

Diet regulation

Eat less sugar. All high-sugar foods, sugary drinks, cakes, etc. Especially foods that are too sweet, you should try to eat less or not. The high calorie of sugar forces blood to rush, leading to the increase of sebaceous glands and sweat glands and the increase of head oil, which further hinders the nutritional supply of hair follicles and the exchange of qi. Without nutrition, it will dry up, without gas, it will fall off, without machine, it will be gone. Traditional medicine believes that the taste of sugar enters the spleen, while overeating makes the spleen not wet, which accumulates in the head, corrodes hair roots and hair follicles and makes hair fall off.

Eat less irritating food and drink less. Spicy things such as pepper, leek, onion, ginger and garlic can damage qi and blood, turn heat into wind, and heat evil wind can lead to hair loss; Regular drinking, even excessive drinking, leads to endogenous damp heat, steaming of hot air, fumigation of damp heat, leading to hair loss.

Limit the intake of high-fat foods. Fatty fat is a heavy turbid substance, which can make spleen depressed and damp heat endogenous. Eating more helps heat to produce phlegm and wind to produce dampness. Dampness and heat lead to scalp invasion, corrosion of hair follicles and hair loss. Oily seborrheic alopecia, no matter how to steam, boil, fry, fry or bake, you must eat less fat.

Eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, beans, eggs, fresh milk and other peaceful foods, so that the diet is diversified and not partial to food. Kelp and seaweed are rich in iodine, calcium, iron and other elements, which can enhance the secretion of thyroxine. Proper intake of this kind of food is beneficial to hair growth. Spinach, tomato and so on contain more copper and iron elements, which are indispensable elements for hair to synthesize melanin. From the perspective of modern medicine, beans, peanuts and black sesame seeds contain cystine and methionine, which are also important substances for hair growth.

Reasonable shampoo

The most important thing in hair care is the correct way to wash your hair. What is the correct and reasonable way to wash your hair? This need varies from person to person.

In real life, there is no uniform standard for how often to wash your hair. Because of the differences in working environment, diet and personal physique, it is impossible for everyone to be exactly the same. Shampooing is not an industrial production of shampoo. But according to the season, environment, hair quality and so on, it varies from time to time and from person to person. Generally speaking, spring and summer are long, and the sebum secreted by the scalp increases, which can shorten the interval between shampooing; Autumn harvest, winter storage and the connection of everything can appropriately extend the interval of shampoo. No matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, you should not be too diligent in washing your hair. Frequent stimulation of scalp, hair roots and hair follicles will lead to "unstable foundation". After all, shampoo is a chemical synthetic product.

Water temperature is also an important factor. If the temperature is too high, it will easily burn the scalp, hair roots and hair follicles. Too low a temperature will shrink the scalp. The suitable water temperature is human body temperature or slightly higher than body temperature. It is forbidden to wash your hair with cold water in hot summer when you sweat a lot. The author has treated patients with alopecia caused by this.

After the hair is washed, it is advisable to gently dry it with a dry towel or naturally dry it. Avoid rubbing it hard with a towel, and dry it with the high-temperature hot air of a hair dryer, especially the high-temperature hot air of a hair dryer can easily burn the scalp and hair follicles.

According to years of clinical experience, some tips are given. First, avoid washing your hair when sweating, especially cold water; Second, after washing your hair at night, you must wait until your hair is dry before going to bed, otherwise cold and dampness will easily lead to hair loss; Third, when washing your hair, you can gently massage the scalp with fingertip muscle skin tissue to avoid nails scratching the scalp and hair roots.

Comb hair

According to traditional medicine, the head is the "head of yang", where the the twelve meridians and the eight strange meridians converge. Combing hair can dredge meridians and regulate qi and blood. From the perspective of modern medicine, it can enhance the blood circulation of scalp, hair roots and hair follicles and increase the nutrients needed for hair growth. Su Dongpo, a great writer, once lost his hair and was moved by a middleman in Xinglin. Comb your hair with a wooden comb with the power of healing stone in the morning and evening, and send your feelings to the mountains and rivers. After a few months, his hair loss stopped and new hair grew.

Pay attention to combing your hair First of all, you should do it when your hair is dry. Second, the comb should be made of sparse teeth, blunt and round teeth and warm materials; Third, avoid pushing too hard and too fast when combing your hair; Fourth, the comb should be cleaned frequently.

Off-topic, when using hairpins, rubber bands, etc. Don't be too tight, one is easy to break hair and the other is easy to fall for a long time.

Regular haircut

Going to the old and welcoming the new is the natural trend of everything, and so is hair. Hair will naturally update iterations. Regular haircuts will not cause hair damage, but can promote scalp and hair follicles to shed old age and stimulate hair growth. Hairdressing is like washing your hair. It varies from time to time and from person to person. There is no uniform time to follow, so it suits you. With shampoo, all kinds of hair dyes are chemical synthetic products and cannot be reused. Everything is complementary and extremely contradictory.
