Many people experience varying degrees of hair loss due to factors such as stress and lifestyle habits. Some even suffer from embarrassing conditions such as thinning hair or bald patches on the scalp. How can we help alleviate and stimulate hair growth in these situations?
Scalp Massage with a Wooden Comb
Method: Use a wooden comb to brush the hair in the morning, during midday rest, and before bedtime. Brush from the front to the back, then from the back to the front about 100 times. Then, use the fingertips to massage the scalp from the forehead to the back of the head while combing, repeating the process about 10 times.
Benefits: Scalp massage helps to clear the meridians in the head, improve blood circulation in the scalp, accelerate the metabolism of hair follicles, effectively nourish the scalp, and treat thinning hair on the scalp. Additionally, it can promote mental alertness, relieve brain fatigue, and more.
Rinsing with Saliva to Moisturize the Scalp
Method: Sit or stand and begin to churn saliva in the mouth, then apply the saliva onto the fingers and spread it on the areas of thinning hair on the scalp. Use the fingers to massage until the area becomes warm and slightly red.
Benefits: According to traditional Chinese medicine, the thinning of hair on the scalp may be caused by deficiency of qi and blood or by local parasites. Saliva can help kill parasites and relieve itching. Saliva is transformed from kidney essence and using it to moisturize the hair can improve the local deficiency of qi and blood, thus helping to treat thinning hair on the scalp.
Inverted Position with Hands Supporting the Head
