Hair loss indicates spleen deficiency. What are the symptoms of hair loss due to spleen deficiency?

Hair loss indicates weak spleen and kidney, graying hair is a symptom of blood deficiency. There are many health codes hidden in the hair, so let’s take a look at what is going on!

Understanding the head meridians

The Du meridian runs along the midline of the head; on both sides of the Du meridian are the bladder meridian and the gallbladder meridian.

The Du meridian runs from the two ear tips to the top of the head, and the intersection point is called the Baihui point. Baihui point is the confluence of all yang. The body's Du meridian, bladder meridian, and liver meridian all meet here, and all the yang energy gathers here.

The gallbladder meridian runs from the outer corner of the eye along both sides to the fourth toe of the foot.

Hair is the beauty of the kidneys, that is, hair is the manifestation of the kidneys. The kidneys are responsible for the color black, so whether your hair is black or shiny is actually related to the kidneys. One of the main functions of the kidneys is to retain energy. If the kidney's ability to store energy is particularly strong, hair will not fall out easily.

Hair is related to liver blood, and hair is the residue of blood. (Hair also has another alias called "Xue Yu", which is the traditional Chinese medicine name for hair. Xue Yu charcoal can be used to stop bleeding.) The liver is responsible for hair growth, and the length of hair is related to liver blood.

Hair problems

(2) Gray hair on the temples is a manifestation of Shaoyang fire, which means that the fire in the Gallbladder Meridian is too strong and cannot be contained.

(3) Gray hair that is a mixture of black and white is a manifestation of deficiency of both the stomach and kidney. This kind of person's personality is like his hair, changing from moment to moment, emotionally unstable, easily excited and depressed.

(4) Hair loss is caused by deficiency of both spleen and kidney. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the liver is connected to the spleen, the spleen corresponds to earth, and the kidney corresponds to water. Earth can overcome water. If you eat too much sweet food, it will inhibit the coagulation function of the bones and cause hair loss.

(7) Excessive dandruff is caused by excessive yin and insufficient yang, which leads to the rise of virtual fire. It means that the kidney essence is insufficient to restrain the virtual fire. If the fire is too strong, the essence and blood will gradually decrease, and the scalp will lack moisture, which will naturally produce dandruff.

(8) Oily hair is caused by excessive spleen distribution, the failure of earth to produce metal, and insufficient lung function, so nutrients can only float on the surface. Therefore, this phenomenon is related to the spleen and lungs.

(9) Why are hairs called “trouble strands”? Physiologically, it means that the hair is on fire. A gentleman should be proactive and have pursuits instead of comparing with others, so he won't be troubled.
