New moms are most concerned about the health of their babies. Some moms have heard that hair can reflect the baby's physical condition to some extent. Is this true? Let's find out.
Many babies have hair that stands up straight, which is a sign of excessive liver fire. We say "hair standing on end" when someone is angry because anger ignites liver fire, and when liver fire is strong, it manifests in the hair standing up. Babies often have excess liver fire, so there are quite a few with hair that stands up straight.
Babies with hair that stands up straight may have food accumulation. Babies with food accumulation often have symptoms such as loss of appetite, aversion to food, bad breath, bloated stomach, discomfort in the stomach, restless sleep, and warm hands and feet.
A deficiency in zinc can also lead to sparse, dry, and vertically-growing hair. A zinc deficiency in babies can also directly affect their growth and development.
The normal functioning of the body's organs relies on the liver's function of regulating blood circulation. Its main function is to regulate the overall Qi and blood circulation, allowing people to maintain a calm mood and normal emotions. When the liver's Yang energy is excessive, emotions tend to be more intense. Therefore, babies with this condition may have bigger temperaments.
However, as the baby grows and develops, the functions of the organs gradually mature and harmonize, and the hair will eventually lie flat. Parents don't need to worry too much. But it is important to pay attention to nourishing the spleen and harmonizing the liver in daily life.
