Every day we comb our hair, especially for women. Combing our hair in the morning is a necessary task. However, it is different for men. They often don't bother to comb their hair, thinking that short hair does not need combing. But this practice is incorrect because regular combing can effectively prevent strokes. "Ten minutes of combing. Preventing strokes" is the reasoning behind this. Let's take a look at the benefits of regular hair combing!
1. Boosting immune system
Combing the hair stimulates the acupuncture points on the scalp that correspond to the meridians and viscera in the head. The biological information generated during the combing process acts on the head through the meridians and the sensory relationship with the whole body. This opens up the hair pores, expels evil Qi, unblocks the meridians, invigorates Yang Qi, removes stasis, oxygenates, and regulates the organs, thereby improving the body's resistance to disease.
2. Promoting metabolism
Combing the hair also enhances neuro-reflex actions, improves blood circulation, and promotes tissue and cellular metabolism. This subtle relationship and effect are present throughout the combing process. On the other hand, to achieve better therapeutic effects, patience is required during hair combing. The comb should be applied to the scalp repeatedly, and it is best if the scalp can generate a slight warmth.
3. Slowing down brain aging
Regular hair combing not only protects the hair but also benefits the eyes, relieves headaches, and prevents colds. It can also invigorate the mind, relieve fatigue, and delay brain aging.
In general, it is recommended to comb the hair for about 10 minutes each time, ideally once in the morning and once in the evening for the best results. It is suggested to use jade combs or horn combs as they contain abundant minerals and trace elements, which are very beneficial to human health. In fact, even if you are bald, you still need to comb your hair regularly, especially for the elderly, who need to comb their hair regularly to delay brain aging.
