What are the causes of hair loss?

Hair loss is what common people call hair loss. Some hair loss occurs when you comb your hair. If you lose less than a hundred hairs when you comb your hair every morning, it is a normal physiological metabolism process of the human body. If you lose more than a hundred hairs, it means you have hair loss and you must actively find the cause. There are many reasons for hair loss, such as high pressure in life, fast pace of work, irregular life, bad eating habits and so on.

There is another type of hair loss phenomenon where the hair does not fall out one by one, but in clumps. You can clearly see that one part of the head is scalp and the other part is hair. People call this kind of hair loss "alopecia areata", which is a serious disease.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the main cause of hair loss is the kidneys. If the liver and kidneys are deficient in qi and blood, the body's blood circulation will be weak, unable to transport nutrients to the "top of the head", the highest point of the human body when standing upright. The hair follicles on the head are not nourished and gradually atrophy, causing hair loss.

Kidney deficiency: Kidney stores the essence of the five internal organs. Kidney deficiency leads to insufficient essence and blood. Insufficient essence and blood leads to lack of nutrition supply to the hair, causing hair loss. Kidney stores essence, and its beauty is in the hair. When kidney qi is weak, hair loss occurs.

Lung damage: The lungs control the fur, and if the lungs fail, the fur will die first. The lungs are the body's most important organ for oxygen and waste exchange. The strength of the lung function directly affects the inhalation of oxygen, the excretion of waste, and the supply of nutrients in the body. Hair is the body's terminal organ, and if the lungs are damaged, the fur will be malnourished and the hair will fall out.

Toxin accumulation: Sadness, pollution, bad habits, etc. will cause the human body to absorb, produce and accumulate large amounts of toxins. These toxins, on the one hand, damage the body's organs and systems, and on the other hand, affect the body's organs and hair's absorption of nutrients, making all kinds of nourishing foods and medicines ineffective, resulting in hair loss.

Hair loss should be taken seriously by everyone. It not only affects the appearance, but may also be an early symptom of a certain disease. Everyone should actively find the cause of hair loss and actively treat it. In daily life, you should be careful not to use nylon combs and hair brushes. The most ideal thing is to use boxwood combs and boar bristle brushes, which can not only remove dandruff, but also massage the scalp and promote blood circulation.
