The State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine has released “Chinese Citizens’ Health Care Literacy” to improve the health care literacy of the public, which includes combing the hair for health, saying that combing the hair can unblock the qi and blood and clear the mind. However, there are rumors that every time you comb your hair, you will lose your hair once, and if you comb your hair frequently, you will soon become bald. Is this idea correct or not? And how should we approach combing our hair for health? Combing hair causes hair loss? It’s a misconception! For the rumor that combing causes hair loss, Zhuang Lixing said that hair fall when combing is a product of metabolism, not combing, even if it is not combing, those hairs are still to fall off. He pointed out that elderly people with thinning hair or hair loss can also improve their hair by combing their hair. Many elderly people, who always comb their hair, see fallen hair on the comb and think that more hair combing will result in hair loss and less and less hair combing. This is actually wrong. Combing the hair can actually be considered a process of cleaning the head and removing the metabolic fallen hair, etc. Zhuang Lixing said that combing is not the culprit of hair loss, or the savior of hair loss, combing is actually helpful for hair growth. Hair loss elderly or health care can follow the steps below to comb the hair, which is conducive to hair growth. The specific method is: forehead to back of the head: from front to back combing 5 minutes, comb teeth must contact the scalp. Back of the head: comb from top to bottom for 2 minutes, neck/back: tap down the back in the direction of combing for 1 minute. Combing once in the morning and once in the evening will help prevent hair loss and improve health and wellness. There are a total of 14 major meridians in the body, and as the saying goes, “the head is the meeting of the yang”, which means there are 6 meridians that converge in the head. Combing is to stimulate the scalp through the combing of the teeth, so that the stimulation is transmitted to the meridian points in the head, thus achieving the effect of health care, which is also known as meridian health. Zhuang Lixing said there are two meridians in the head that are most important for health care, the Governor and the bladder meridian. These two meridians are the only two meridians in the head that enter the brain, and stimulating these two meridians can achieve the effect of nourishing the brain, strengthening the brain and waking up the brain. Combing your hair not only nourishes, strengthens and awakens the brain, but also helps to treat memory loss, tonifies the kidneys, improves qi and blood, and prevents brain atrophy. If you have a deficiency of Qi and blood, insufficient blood supply to the brain, often combing the hair also helps to benefit Qi and blood, improve the blood supply to the brain. The synthetic material should not be, finger combing need to be hard combing hair health can actually be said to be the easiest way to health, compared to other ways to health, combing hair health tools is very simple, a comb. What kind of comb is better? There are all kinds of combs on the market, wood, horn, ivory, jade, etc. There are also special health combs, but in fact, these have no great impact on combing the hair. Zhuang Lixing suggests that the comb is best not to use plastic or other synthetic material quality, it is best to use wood or animal horn. In addition to combs, many now also advocate finger combing, because the fingertips are blunt, combing can play a health effect. Zhuang Lixing reminded whether it is with a comb or finger, combing the key to health is to stimulate the scalp, in the finger combing must be hard, try to achieve the purpose of stimulating the scalp, but do not use too much force to cause tingling. The time to comb the hair varies from person to person, many combing the hair to maintain health say how many times and so on is too mechanical, too constrained, and may not have any reason. Zhuang Lixing said that the elderly combing hair for health as long as the morning and evening combing 3-5 minutes can be, the length of time depends on the individual.
