Health for All says
Since ancient times, hair has been regarded as one of the most important indicators of the body's apparent health. Clean, shiny, silky and smooth hair is undoubtedly everyone's dream, however, when hair becomes greasy and dull, it can often be bothersome and unsettling. In fact, greasy hair is often a sign that there is something wrong with the body's internal organs. As an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I will combine the theory of Chinese medicine in this article, quote ancient and modern famous prescriptions, and introduce you to some effective ways to solve the problem of greasy hair.
First of all, we need to understand the causes of greasy hair. In traditional Chinese medicine theory, the oil secretion of hair is closely related to the five internal organs, especially the kidneys, lungs, and spleen. The medullary fluid filling of the main medulla of the kidney is related to the nutritional status of the blood, so the loss of medullary fluid caused by kidney deficiency will directly lead to greasy hair. The lungs are dominated by fur, and lung qi imbalance can also cause greasy hair. The spleen is the main body of the water valley, and the imbalance of the digestive system can lead to the accumulation of moisture, which further leads to greasy hair. Therefore, greasy hair is one of the manifestations of the dysfunction of the five internal organs of the body.
So how to deal with greasy hair?Here are six effective methods and suggestions:
1.Herbal shampoos: Choose some herbal shampoos that clear away heat and dampness and balance scalp oil production. For example, herbs such as chrysanthemum, peppermint, and sorrel leaf soothe the scalp and reduce oil production.
2.Diet: According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, eating more foods that have the effect of clearing away heat and dampness, such as bitter gourd, cucumber, water chestnut, etc., can help regulate the dampness in the body and reduce greasy hair.
3.Regulate Xi habits: Maintaining good Xi habits, especially regular work and rest and adequate sleep, can help balance the body's internal functions and reduce the problem of greasy hair.
4.Meridian Massage: Massaging the head meridians can promote blood circulation and regulate the oil secretion of the scalp. You can choose some TCM meridian conditioning methods, such as massage, tendon pulling, etc.
5.Herbs**: There are many herbs in TCM that can help regulate greasy hair. For example, herbs such as angelica, angelica, and peony bark all have the effect of invigorating blood and regulating menstruation, which is very helpful for regulating greasy hair.
6.Good state of mind: Emotional instability and excessive stress can also lead to dysfunction of the body's internal organs. Therefore, maintaining a good attitude and a positive and optimistic mood is also very important to solve the problem of greasy hair.
The methods described in this article are only part of the story, in fact, everyone's physical condition and causes are different, so it is very important to choose the method that suits you. At the same time, we should also realize that greasy hair is only a manifestation of the dysfunction of the five internal organs, and it is more important to regulate the body from the inside out to maintain overall health.
