Ms. Wang from Shanghai asked: My husband started losing hair last year, and it’s getting worse now. He doesn’t even dare to comb his hair. In order to reduce hair loss, I have used a lot of anti-hair loss shampoos, but they have little effect. Recently someone told me a folk remedy that drinking water boiled with cabbage roots can prevent hair loss. It is said that if you drink it consistently throughout the winter, hair loss will be reduced in the next summer. I would like to ask the experts if it is effective. There are many patients with hair loss, and the reasons are also complicated. Congenital reasons, excessive mental stress, chemical factors, endocrine factors, etc. may all cause hair loss. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there are two reasons for hair loss: one is blood heat and wind dryness, which consume yin blood, and the yin blood cannot nourish the hair roots, causing the hair roots to dry up or become weak and fall out; the other is spleen and stomach damp heat, and the consumption of fatty and greasy foods hurts the stomach and spleen, causing damp heat to erode the hair roots, which gradually become corroded, sticky and fall out. The root of Chinese cabbage is sweet and slightly cold in nature, and has the effects of clearing away heat and promoting diuresis, relieving exterior symptoms and dispelling cold, nourishing the stomach and quenching thirst. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, cabbage roots are sweet and slightly cold in nature, and have the effects of clearing heat and promoting diuresis, relieving exterior symptoms and dispersing cold, nourishing the stomach and quenching thirst. Therefore, it has a certain alleviating effect on hair loss caused by damp heat. In addition, cabbage roots are rich in vitamins. Vitamin B1 will affect the nutritional metabolism of peripheral nerves, affect the normal metabolism of the scalp, and promote hair growth. Vitamins C and E can nourish hair follicles and improve hair quality. People who are prone to hair loss can do more head massage to promote blood circulation. Excessive intake of sugar, salt or animal fat is harmful to blood circulation. You should drink more water and eat more vegetables. Eating more foods rich in iron, such as lean meat, egg white, spinach, cabbage, celery, fruits, etc., can help soften the scalp. The shampoo you use must be weakly acidic, and try not to use a hair dryer after shampooing to avoid high temperatures that damage the hair tissue and scalp. Perming liquid has a great impact on hair, so you should reduce the number of perming sessions. |
