Is hair loss really inevitable?
When it comes to the hairline, from the perspective of disease, we will first think of "seborrheic alopecia". You should note that this "seborrheic alopecia" is not the same as "alopecia areata". The so-called "alopecia areata" refers to the limitation of hair loss, that is, it falls out piece by piece, and finally the block is joined together. Seborrheic alopecia is different. Its area is not obvious, on the contrary, it is hair loss from the forehead, and the hair at one end appears to be sparse and shed, and there is also seborrhea. This kind of hair loss is indeed mostly male.
How is this seborrheic alopecia caused?
The first, because of genetics. According to the survey, about 70% of patients are inherited in families.
The second is the problem of male hormones. An increase in male hormones often leads to this problem.
Of course, we can't say that every person with a receding hairline belongs to the "seborrheic alopecia" in the state of disease. There are a significant number of people who, in terms of symptoms, do not reach the state of disease. How do we understand this situation?
Here, let me tell you a simple truth - this is likely to stem from the weakening of our spleen and stomach.
Our hair, in addition to blood, is the external condition of the kidneys. The kidneys, their bloom is in the hair. Whether our liver and kidneys are good or not determines whether our hair is good or not. But don't forget, it's not just our liver, kidneys and hair that are closely related. The relationship between the spleen, stomach and hair is also very close. On the one hand, the spleen and stomach are the foundation of nurture, the source of qi and blood biochemistry. The spleen and stomach are good, the qi and blood are sufficient, and the hair is naturally nourished. On the other hand, you can see by looking at the meridian flow chart, our foot yang and stomach meridians follow the forehead. The "Lingshu" clearly states that the stomach meridian "follows the hairline to the forehead". Therefore, the relationship between our hair and our spleen and stomach cannot be ignored. In particular, the relationship between the hairline and the spleen and stomach is closer.
Therefore, the receding hairline and the withering and thinning of hair in the forehead are related to the weakness of the spleen and stomach. Because the spleen and stomach cannot produce and nourish qi and blood well, and the stomach meridian qi is unfavorable in front of the forehead, it causes the above embarrassment.
Some people may say, I can eat and drink, how can my spleen and stomach be weakened?
It is important to know that this weakness of the spleen and stomach does not refer to specific stomach diseases, but to the reception and transportation functions of the spleen and stomach. In other words, how much of what you eat can be converted into qi and blood that nourishes your hair under the movement of the spleen and stomach? The decrease in this indicator is difficult to measure by "whether there is discomfort". Therefore, this weakness of the spleen and stomach cannot be manifested by specific diseases. It can be said that it is due to a natural aging trend of the human body.
Knowing this, we also understand a truth - in order to keep our hair and protect our hairline, we need to take our spleen and stomach seriously.
How to take the spleen and stomach seriously?
In fact, the spleen and stomach, as the acquired foundation of our body, really don't have too many needs. It just needs us to eat well. What does it mean to eat well? This is to eat in quantities, eat regularly, eat slowly, eat calmly, eat quietly, and eat with meat and vegetables. Do not eat anything that is too cold, too hard, too spicy, or too salty. Eating is a major event to nourish our qi and blood, a major event to maintain the foundation of the day after tomorrow, and it is a solemn thing, not a casual thing. To eat well is to eat with a "sense of ritual", not "fooling". It's a pity that there are too few people who can do it in contemporary society.
In short, you have to eat well, and your spleen and stomach must be comfortable. It will help us to slow down the receding hairline.
