It is normal for people to lose dozens of hairs per day, as it is a metabolic phenomenon. However, if hair naturally falls out in large quantities, it should be taken seriously. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "hair is the surplus of blood." Therefore, changes such as premature graying, increased hair loss, dry and yellowing hair are due to weak blood and insufficient liver blood, as well as exhaustion of essence and blood. Additionally, it is also related to personal emotions and nutritional status. So how can people adjust their daily lives to prevent or reduce hair loss?
Firstly, it is important to have a positive mindset and maintain a regular lifestyle. Eat foods rich in proteins, vitamin E, iron, zinc, calcium, copper, iodine, and alkaline substances, which are necessary for hair growth. Secondly, keep the hair clean. Wash the hair regularly to make it fluffy and soft, and ensure air circulation (the water temperature should be around 37-38 degrees Celsius when washing the hair). During normal times, maintain the gloss of the hair and prevent hair loss by adding a few drops of vinegar or a small amount of salt to the shampoo. For those with dandruff, using a wooden comb can help remove it.
Furthermore, under the guidance of a doctor's medication treatment, patients can also use simple and feasible methods in daily life to self-regulate according to their own conditions. For example, for long-term hair loss that is difficult to cure, you can use 30 grams of Polygonum multiflorum, 50 grams of rice, and an appropriate amount of rock sugar to make porridge, which is effective when taken regularly. For those with neurogenic hair loss, tear 60 grams of sesame flowers and cockscomb flowers into pieces, soak them in 500 grams of white wine, seal it, filter out the residue with gauze after 15 days, and add 1.5 grams of camphor to dissolve in the medicinal wine. Apply the medicinal wine to the hair loss area with a cotton swab, and regular use is effective. For those with split hair, grind an appropriate amount of black sesame, fry it, take 20 grams per serving, take it 2-3 times a day, and mix it with white sugar for long-term effectiveness.
