Nowadays, many young people have premature gray hair, which is also called "less gray hair" by us. This also makes many young people distressed. Gray hair appears at a young age. So what should we do?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that blood heat, weak kidney qi, and weak qi and blood are all causes of gray hair. The nutrition of hair comes from blood. If the hair turns white or falls off, it is mostly because of insufficient liver blood and weak kidney qi. If kidney deficiency and qi and blood are insufficient, the blood circulation throughout the body will be weak and unable to transport nutrients to the highest upright point of the human body - the top of the head. The hair follicles on the head will not be nourished and will gradually shrink, which will cause hair loss. The kidney governs the bones and their hair, and the growth and shedding of hair often reflects the rise and fall of kidney qi. If kidney qi is strong, the hair will be thick, black and shiny. If the kidney qi is weak, the hair will become sparse and fall off or turn white easily. Therefore, the method of traditional Chinese medicine is to nourish liver blood and kidney qi.

So today I will introduce to you two Chinese medicinal materials that are specially designed to nourish the liver and kidneys and improve white hair, hair loss and other conditions. The first flavor is Ligustrum lucidum. Ligustrum lucidum has a sweet and bitter taste and a slightly cool nature. It belongs to the liver and kidney meridian. It has the effects of nourishing the liver and kidneys, strengthening the waist and knees, strengthening the muscles and bones, and blackening the beard and hair.

The second flavor is Eclipta. Eclipta is sweet, sour, cold in nature, and returns to the liver and kidney meridian. It has the functions of nourishing the liver and kidneys, cooling blood and stopping bleeding. It can be mainly used for dizziness, loose teeth, premature graying of hair and beard, tinnitus and deafness, insomnia and forgetfulness caused by liver and kidney yin deficiency, soreness and weakness of waist and knees, and weakness of muscles and bones.

These two medicines are not cold, but very peaceful. Maybe this medicine has the function of harmonizing yin and yang. Ligustrum lucidum is picked in winter, and Eclipta is picked in summer. One winter and one summer. Cold and hot, they complement each other completely. So the details still need to be dialectically adjusted according to personal circumstances. If you don’t understand anything, you can come to the teacher and ask.
