What to do if your hair becomes gray

Faced with the problem of increasing number of gray hairs, many people are at a loss. Only elderly people grow gray hair, so why do they also have this problem at such a young age? I believe this is something that many people will wonder about. In fact, if you want to better solve the problem of gray hair, some dietary choices in daily life cannot be easily ignored. Let’s learn about how to solve the problem of increasing gray hair.

Generally speaking, when faced with an increase in gray hair in life, many people will choose to use diet to help themselves alleviate it, because this method is relatively healthy and scientific, and of course it will not bring more adverse effects to their bodies.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the following factors are related to gray hair:

One is deficiency of essence and weak blood: insufficient kidney essence cannot produce yin blood, and the deficiency of yin blood causes the hair to lose nourishment, thus turning gray. The second is excessive heat in the blood: emotional excitement causes water to fail to contain wood, the liver is hyperactive and the blood is dry, the blood is excessively hot, and the hair roots are malnourished, so the hair turns gray prematurely.

The third is liver depression and spleen dampness: liver qi stagnation damages the heart and spleen, the spleen is damaged and fails to transport and transform qi and blood, so there is no source for the production of qi and blood, which leads to gray hair.

There are many proven prescriptions and folk remedies for treating gray hair, but the main ones are as follows.

[Formula 1] 30 grams of mulberry bark, 15 grams of gallnut, and 60 grams of Amaranthus seeds. Decoction in water to extract juice, for external washing.
