Hair plays an important role in decoration. In ancient times or modern times, hairstyles, hair accessories, and hair color can all affect one's appearance. However, many people have "hair troubles" such as white hair, hair loss, and dry hair. Shampoo only stays on the hair for a few minutes, so if you want to have "worry-free hair," you need to start with your diet.
Chinese medicine tells you what influences your hair?
Traditional medicine believes that "the condition of the hair can reflect the condition of the internal organs." In other words, the color, dryness, and moisture of the hair are related to the internal organs. There are also theories that connect hair to blood and kidneys. Therefore, the health of the hair is greatly influenced by the liver and kidneys. White hair is related to insufficient liver blood and deficient kidney qi. Dry hair and hair loss are related to insufficient qi and blood. Greasy hair is related to the spleen, stomach, and diet. When it comes to improving hair problems, few people opt for medication, so why not try Chinese medicinal diets?
Medicinal diets can also improve hair problems
Preparation of Polygonum Multiflorum and Black Bean Porridge
Take 30 grams of black beans, 20 grams of Polygonum Multiflorum, and an appropriate amount of red dates and rice. After washing them, put them in a pot and cook them into porridge. You can add rock sugar according to your taste. This porridge is suitable for white hair and dry hair caused by deficiency of both qi and blood. In Chinese medicine, Polygonum Multiflorum is believed to nourish the liver and kidneys and turn hair black. It is often used to treat premature graying of hair. However, since Polygonum Multiflorum is toxic to the liver, it is necessary to consult a doctor before purchasing it.
Kelp and Sesame Powder
Take black sesame and kelp in a ratio of 2:1. Roast the black sesame and grind it into powder. Mix it with kelp powder and honey to make a paste. Consume about 2 tablespoons of this mixture every day. Kelp is a plant similar to seaweed. It enters the liver meridian, kidney meridian, and stomach meridian, and has the function of clearing heat and dampness. It is suitable for improving hair loss and white hair caused by blood heat. Black sesame is known for promoting hair growth and nourishing the kidneys.
Homemade Mulberry Sesame Pills
Mulberry Sesame Pills are a kind of Chinese patent medicine. They are mainly made of black sesame, mulberry leaves, and honey. Since the ingredients are safe, they can also be made at home. Prepare dry mulberry leaves and roasted black sesame in a ratio of 5:2. Grind them into powder separately. Mix them with honey to form a paste, and roll them into thumb-sized pills. Take them morning and evening every day. This method is derived from "Shou Shi Bao Yuan" and has the effects of relieving chronic cough, improving dry hair, rough skin, and premature graying of hair.
Folk diet therapy
Consuming kelp and tofu soup can moisturize the body, clear heat, detoxify, and tonify the middle and benefit qi, making the hair moisturized. Sesame and walnut candy can nourish blood and tonify the kidneys, making the skin smooth, delicate, and rosy, and improving dry and rough hair. In addition, black beans are known as the "grain of the kidneys." Regular consumption also has the effect of nourishing the kidneys and blackening the hair.
However, hair is also known as "a thousand worries." Staying up late, experiencing stress, and mental trauma can also lead to hair loss, white hair, and dry hair. Therefore, daily hair care should also pay attention to reducing mental stress.
