1.How does Chinese medicine explain the formation of gray hair? The so-called “less white head”, medically known as “premature gray hair”, refers to teenagers before the age of 20, the hair turns white, the hair is white. According to Chinese medicine, the occurrence of gray hair is closely related to the dysfunction of the liver, kidney and spleen. The kidney collects essence, and its flower is in the hair; the liver collects blood, and the hair is the remainder of the blood; the spleen is the source of Qi and blood biochemistry, and when Qi and blood are abundant, the essence and blood are mutually nourished; the growth of hair comes from the moistening of Qi and blood, and if Qi and blood cannot go up to the head, the hair will turn white. Insufficient congenital endowment, liver and kidney deficiency can not glorify the hair becomes white; weak body can not produce qi and blood, long illness depletion of qi and blood, resulting in qi deficiency and blood weakness, hair loss of glorious white; young people’s yang is strong, fire and heat evil easily consume yin and blood, resulting in blood deficiency, dry heat, hair loss of nourishment early white; emotional and mental strain, damage to the heart and spleen, transport and transformation failure, qi and blood biochemical source, or qi stagnation and blood stasis, hair loss of glorious white. Therefore, the four aspects of liver and kidney deficiency, qi and blood deficiency, blood heat and emotional strain are the main causes of gray hair. 2, some people have gray hair at a young age, some have only a few, some have many, why is this? The causes of gray hair are very complex, including genetics, poor dietary habits, environmental pollution, stress, vitamin deficiency, trace element abnormalities, pigment stem cell reduction, oxidative stress, etc. Most scholars at home and abroad believe that reduced tyrosinase activity is the main factor affecting the reduction of hair pigment production and deposition. About 30% of them have a family history of what Chinese medicine calls congenital endowment deficiency, that is, there are genetic factors, which is the reason why some people appear or some people perform more obviously. 3.What kind of treatment does Chinese medicine have for a variety of conditions such as less white hair, early white hair, and senile white hair? So far, there are no proven treatments for teenage gray hair caused by genetic reasons, so we can only lament the “endowment of impatience”. At present, there are a lot of common drugs available in the market for the treatment of gray hair, for different evidence can be used seven treasure beauty temples Dan, Jin Kui Kidney Qi Pills, Liu Wei Di Huang Wan, ten whole big tonic pill, Ginseng Yang Rong Wan, Ginseng Gui Spleen Pills, female chasteberry cream, Yi Yao Wan, Yue Ju Wan, etc., in order to nourish the liver and kidney, benefit Qi and blood, nourish the heart and spleen, clear heat and cool the blood, dredge the liver and relieve depression, to improve the symptoms to a certain extent. However, “medicine is three kinds of poison”, these drugs need to be used under the guidance of a doctor, and should not be taken for a long time. 4, there are many folklore can make gray hair into black hair of Chinese medicine prescription, food therapy, external methods are available. For example, the consumption of black beans, black sesame, with pounded soapberry, He Shou Wu, honey hair washing and so on. How useful are these TCM prescriptions? Can you explain each of them? Some non-genetic premature gray hair can still be useful if you eat a reasonable diet with more foods containing trace elements such as copper and iron and tyrosinase needed to replenish the hair pigment particles. The effectiveness of prescriptions and folk remedies is not certain, and their use will vary from person to person. Black beans, black sesame is rich in copper, iron and other trace elements, can improve gray hair; He Shou Wu tonic liver and kidney, nourishing blood and hair, can increase the melanin to improve gray hair; honey is rich in vitamins, iron, calcium, copper, manganese, potassium, phosphorus and a variety of organic acids and beneficial trace elements, it is recommended to eat health care, to assist in improving gray hair; soap horn has the effect of decontamination, can be used for shampooing. 5.Is there some dietary treatment that can improve early gray hair?
