A person, with gray hair, will suddenly appear more than ten years old. This also makes sense, why so many people know that dyeing their hair is not good for their health, but they still have to dye it.
In fact, long white hair is not only looking old, but also a manifestation of sub-health in many cases. For example, you can often see some people, obviously not very old, but they are full of gray hair, weak speech, a pulse diagnosis, look at the tongue, sure enough, kidney qi, insufficient blood .
Every comb one or two hundred times, ten minutes a day, the hair is black and the sub-health state is better.
Ten minutes a day
The hair is black, and the sub-health state is relieved
Ji Kang, a metaphysicist during the late Wei period of the Three Kingdoms, said in the Analects: "In spring and March, comb your hair one or two hundred times every dynasty. "During the three months of spring, you should get up early in the morning and get into the habit of combing your hair, which is conducive to health and wellness.

In just over half a year, he gradually recovered from mental depression and physical weakness, his body was strong, his face was rosy, and he was like two before and after!

Since it is said that gray hair grows too early, too much is a sub-healthy, even pathological manifestation, then this must be traceable to the root, to sum up, the common reasons are mainly the following:
01
Spleen and stomach disorders: gray hair on the forehead
The "Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor" pointed out, "A woman is five or seven, the Yangming vein is weak, the face is scorched, and the beginning is falling." The forehead belongs to Yangming, and Yangming is mainly related to the spleen and stomach, Yangming decays, turns white, and is actually a problem with the spleen and stomach. Yangming is the main qi and blood, pay attention not to stay up late when conditioning, so as not to hurt qi and blood.
02
Hepatobiliary insufficiency: gray hair on both sideburns
The sideburns, that is, the area next to the ear, are mainly related to the gallbladder. Since the liver and gallbladder are mutually represented, it is also related to the liver. The liver mainly hides blood, so the long gray hair on both sideburns is mainly because of insufficient blood. While replenishing blood, we should pay attention to replenishing qi, such as eating some red dates to strengthen the spleen and replenish qi, or drink some millet porridge, because qi can generate blood, blood, and dissolve blood, and when qi is replenished, blood will rise.
03
Insufficiency of kidney qi: white hair on the top of the head and back of the brain
The top of the head is where the Du pulse and the Ren pulse pass, and the second pulse of Ren Du is most closely related to the kidney. Gray hair on the top of the head, mostly due to insufficient kidney qi. The part of the back of the head is near the Ren vein, which is naturally related to the kidney. People with gray hair on the top of the head and the back of the head, in addition to replenishing qi and blood, should also pay attention to tonifying the kidneys, and usually eat more goji berries, black sesame seeds, etc.
04
Insufficient qi and blood, dry hair
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that one of the main reasons for the graying of hair is the lack of qi and blood. Hair is an important manifestation of qi and blood in the body, and the hair is black, thick, smooth and shiny, which means sufficient qi and blood; And gray hair, hair loss, dry hair, split ends, etc. are all manifestations of insufficient qi and blood.
05
Accumulated stress, emotional instability
When the mood changes and stress are high, it is easy to make the body's nerves dysfunction, so the function of secreting melanin will also be impaired, affecting the synthesis and transportation of pigment particles, and a lot of gray hair will grow. Due to extreme tension, sadness and other negative emotions, it often causes a series of sharp changes in the body, resulting in serious endocrine disorders, so that people appear gray hair in a short time.
