According to the theory of Chinese medicine, hair is the “remainder of blood” and “the flower of kidney”, hair is closely related to kidney, liver, spleen and stomach.
The liver collects blood, and if the liver blood is sufficient, the hair will be nourished to prevent hair loss; the spleen is responsible for transportation and distribution of water and grain essence in the hair; and sufficient kidney energy is the root of healthy hair.
Early graying of the hair, dullness or hair loss are related to several common TCM pathologies such as liver and kidney deficiency, blood deficiency and essence deficiency, liver and gallbladder fire or spleen and stomach disorders.
White hair at the temples is a manifestation of Shaoyang fire drifting, that is, the fire of the bile meridian is on the high side and cannot be converged.
Black and white hair is a mixture of white hair, is the stomach and kidney deficiency of the realization. This kind of person’s personality is also like hair, a moment an idea, emotional instability, easily excited and easily depressed.
Hair loss on the top of the head is related to the liver meridian and the spleen and stomach. This kind of person’s personality shows too much thinking for no reason, and thinking leads to qi knots, hurting the spleen and blood.
Baldness is called “ghost shaving”, which is related to the person’s emotions. If one is overly anxious or angry, or if one can’t break the knot, it may cause baldness.
The principles of Chinese medicine for hair care are: nourish the kidneys and benefit the essence, nourish the qi and blood, relax the liver and gallbladder, and harmonize the spleen and stomach. Only when the kidney essence is sufficient, the qi and blood are abundant, and the meridians and qi are regulated smoothly, can healthy hair be nurtured.
