Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the main cause of hair loss is kidney. If the liver and kidney are deficient in qi and blood, the blood circulation of the whole body will be weak, and nutrients cannot be delivered to the top of the human body. The hair follicles on the head will not be nourished and gradually shrink, which will cause hair loss. "Kidney stores essence, controls reproduction, and its flowers are in hair" and "hair is in blood removal", which holds that kidney is the innate foundation and hair is the product of blood. Kidney stores essence, liver stores blood, essence and blood are homologous and mutually transformed, which are indispensable. At the same time, the treatment of alopecia in traditional Chinese medicine is also based on these theories. Generally speaking, hair loss is related to the following reasons:
Kidney deficiency: the essence of the five internal organs is stored in the kidney. Kidney deficiency leads to deficiency of essence and blood, which leads to lack of nutrition supply and hair loss. Kidney stores essence, its flowers are in hair, and kidney qi is failing.
Lung damage: the lung dominates the fur, and the fur is destroyed first when the lung fails. The lung is the most important organ for exchanging oxygen and waste, and its function directly affects the inhalation of oxygen, the discharge of waste and the supply of nutrients. Hair is the terminal organ of the body, and lung damage leads to fur malnutrition and hair loss.
Toxin accumulation: sadness, pollution, bad habits, etc. Will make the human body absorb, produce and store a lot of toxins. On the one hand, these toxins will destroy various organs and systems of the body, on the other hand, they will affect the absorption of nutrients by various organs and hair, making all kinds of nourishing foods and drugs unable to function, leading to hair loss. Many methods to treat alopecia are because the toxins in the body have not been removed, so they are specially put forward here to attract full attention!
Trace elements are closely related to hair: studies have proved that trace elements such as copper, calcium, magnesium, zinc and selenium are closely related to hair growth, and the lack of these trace elements in the body will cause hair loss.
Blood fever: Adolescents have premature leukorrhagia due to excessive blood fever. Generally speaking, it is blood deficiency and blood stasis, but in fact, the blood is overheated and not strong, and the blood heat produces wind, which goes up to the top of the head with the gas, so that the hair roots can not be nourished by yin and blood, and the hair will suddenly fall off. Especially people who work in different places are most prone to hair loss, especially women. When I first arrived in a different place, my hair was thick and black. Soon after washing my hair, my hair fell out one by one, and my hair began to decrease obviously. I dare not wash my hair seriously. Here, I would like to remind my friends who go out to work to take measures as soon as possible to stop hair loss and grow beautiful hair.
Sperm loss: refers to male's excessive sexual behavior, excessive ejaculation, loss of yang, weakness, and lack of pride in leaving hair, leading to hair loss.
Sorrow: The pressure of modern life increases, the competition is fierce, people's anxiety and troubles increase, and depression accumulates in their hearts, causing nervous system disorder and psychological imbalance. Toxins accumulate in the heart and spleen, and they are suddenly stimulated and attacked by evil winds, causing secondary hair loss or sudden hair loss.
Environmental pollution: the living environment of human beings is deteriorating day by day. Air pollution and water pollution make people absorb a lot of toxic substances, destroy the endocrine system and immune system of the body, damage the health of hair and lead to hair loss.
Bad habits: Due to fierce competition, several generations in China have formed the habit of doing things at sunrise and resting at sunset, which has been completely broken, forced to work overtime, excessive entertainment, heavy smoking and drinking, frequent nightlife, and various functions of the body have been destroyed. According to the research, the time of hair growth is from 0/2 to 2 o'clock in the evening/kloc-,the biological clock is destroyed, the rhythm of life is disrupted, sleep deprivation leads to insomnia, and the hair can't get normal nutrition and rest.
Poor diet: people's living standards have improved and their diet structure has changed. The decrease of cereals and vegetables, the increase of fat and protein foods, the increase of irritating foods, the decrease of coarse grains and the increase of flour and rice make the nutrition in the body unbalanced, and the digestive and absorption systems of the body difficult to adapt, resulting in damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, disorder and alopecia.
Improper maintenance: excessive use of shampoo and hair care products, or excessive alkalinity and poor quality of shampoo and hair care products, improper perming, dyeing, shampooing, combing and blowing will cause damage to hair and cause hair loss.
Among the above reasons, Chinese medicine believes that the main reasons are kidney deficiency and lung damage, toxin accumulation and trace element deficiency.
