Proverbs are created and applied to the people, mostly to sum up life experience. Therefore, there is no specific requirement for proverbs in form. Compared with poems and songs, their randomness and popularity are more popular, so proverbs are widely circulated among the people, and daily chats can come out casually. However, although the proverbs are casual and vulgar, they are true and reasonable, and many experiences are worth learning from. Just like this proverb we want to know today, through a small thing in life, it reflects the great wisdom of the ancients and summarizes the classic life truth. Reading it will benefit us a lot!
Comb your hair a thousand times, and your illness will be reduced by half.
Obviously, this proverb summed up by our ancestors is to tell us the benefits of combing our hair. Of course, the word "thousand times" here is just a quantifier, which has no practical significance. Not that we should comb our hair a thousand times, but that we should comb our hair often! So, can combing hair really effectively defend against diseases and enhance people's physique? Let's see the actual effect of combing your hair!
Combing hair is an essential part of washing after getting up every day, which is inseparable from our life. As we all know, combing your hair before going out not only looks neat, but also makes people look full of energy. However, the benefits of combing hair are not limited to these. It can also change human functions and play a role in strengthening the body.
There are a large number of meridians in the human body, such as the twelve meridians, Qi Jing and Eight Veins, which are distributed all over the human body. The interrelation of human viscera and organs, the coordination and transportation of qi and blood in the whole body mainly depend on these meridians in the body, and these meridians eventually converge directly or indirectly on the human head, so there is Baihui point on the top of the head. In the process of combing people's hair, it will have a certain massage effect on Baihui point, which can dredge qi and blood and make the meridians more smooth! The main benefits of combing your hair frequently are as follows:
first
The ancient book "On Health" mentioned that "in March of spring, I comb my hair one or two hundred times every morning." Everyone knows that combing your hair often is good for your health, but why did the ancients emphasize "March in spring" in health preservation? This is because spring is the season when everything recovers and the earth warms up. At this time, the yang of nature begins to sprout and rise, and the key to health care is that people should adapt to nature. At this time, the yang of the human body also began to show the characteristics of outward and upward. At this time, human pores gradually expand, the circulatory system is strengthened, and the natural metabolic system begins to flourish. At this time, combing your hair can better reconcile human qi and blood, achieve yang, stagnate qi and relax qi and blood, so that you can strengthen your body!
second
There is an old saying called "comb your hair often". In ancient times, the method of cleaning hair was very simple, and there were no cleaning products such as shampoo. Therefore, people's hair is very easy to get dirty. Combing it in the morning and evening can effectively remove dandruff and dirt attached to the scalp, thus greatly reducing the possibility of scalp infection and effectively preventing hair loss (of course, the hair comb used should be cleaned frequently)!
third
As the saying goes, "it's a thousand times more than combing your hair, and your head is not white." The summary of this proverb is very vivid. Comb your hair with horn comb or boxwood comb in the morning and evening. When the comb teeth lightly brush the scalp, it can massage the scalp, dredge the menstrual blood of the scalp, promote the blood circulation of the head, and effectively prevent white hair and yellow hair caused by malnutrition. It can also effectively eliminate brain fatigue and make people feel refreshed!
Actually, it's more than that. Comb your hair with a wooden comb or horn comb. When your teeth graze your scalp, you will feel slight heat, which can nourish your qi and promote blood circulation. Needless to say, the benefits!
The brain is the headquarters of human function transmission. Strengthening human function begins with strengthening the head. The so-called "anti-aging, treat the brain first" is not only anti-aging, but also against various diseases. Combing hair is not only a part of daily beauty finishing, but also an important part of human functional health care. Whether it is the ancient way of keeping in good health or the modern science and technology medicine, it is believed that combing hair can effectively prevent many diseases and is the foundation of keeping fit!
Therefore, we can't turn a blind eye to the wise words and advice of our ancestors. "Comb your hair a thousand times, and you will be half ill" is still very scientific. Nowadays, people think their hair is dirty. Just wash it and blow it dry, which just avoids the benefits of combing it frequently. Therefore, we should learn from the common sense left by our ancestors and stick to and master the correct method of combing our hair, which is of great help to our health!
