Chinese medicine believes that our hair is closely related to liver and kidney function. Liver stores blood, when blood, liver blood deficiency, dystrophy, produces white hair; Kidney stores essence, kidney essence is insufficient, and it looks outward, but white hair is seen.
In addition, the kidney is called "the innate foundation" by predecessors, which refers to our daily behavior and activities, and slowly consumes our kidney qi bit by bit. Therefore, this is one of the reasons why people's hair slowly turns white when they are old-congenital injury.
Therefore, the elderly should first make up the liver and kidney.
However, white hair is not limited to the elderly. We often say "white-haired youth". You can see that many students are not yet in their prime, and you can clearly see the white hair on your head. What's more, black and white. The hoary head of teenagers not only gives people the feeling of maturity, but also makes children feel inferior and annoyed.
Is that boy's gray head also caused by congenital deficiency?
Of course not. Children are like the rising sun at eight or nine o'clock, full of yang. However, the main reason for juvenile hoary head is that it falls in this "full of yang" place. Children are full of yang, and it is easy to transpiration qi, blood and body fluid in the body. Over time, liver and kidney blood loss, it is difficult to be proud of, nourish our hair.
Therefore, young people with white hair should mainly nourish yin and cool blood.
Besides, we often say that many people break their hearts for their livelihood, "growing old overnight."
You see, many people who are engaged in mental work now have heavy study tasks, heavy work pressure, endless classes and endless work. Every day, when their mobile phones ring, they are afraid that Party A will put forward any new requirements.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that stagnation of liver qi, excessive spleen soil, spleen injury leading to transport, biochemical dereliction of duty, passive qi and blood, is also one of the reasons for premature delivery.
Therefore, people with high work pressure and depressed mood should soothe the liver and relieve depression in order to solve the problem of spleen and soil.
However, no matter the old people, children, or people who are tired for their livelihood, white hair is born early. In the final analysis, it is mainly caused by the loss of liver and kidney essence and blood.
Therefore, the general direction of treating white hair is to nourish liver and kidney and nourish essence and blood.
Today, I will introduce you to a prescription-Shouwu Yanshou Dan, which can tonify liver and kidney, tonify yin and yang, clear away heat and detoxify, and comes from a collection of medical prescriptions.

After nourishing vaginal fluid, add a little yang-warming medicine.
Some people may ask, why do you want to add yang-warming drugs to the recipe for nourishing yin?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that yin and yang are mutually used and restricted, so solitary yin is not long and solitary yang is not born. Adding a little yang-warming medicine to the recipe for nourishing yin is to make the effect of nourishing yin worse. The forefathers have said, "Those who are good at raising Yang must seek Yang from Yin, and then Yang will be helped by Yin, and it will be endless; People who are good at nourishing yin will seek yin in the yang, and then the yin will rise in the yang, and the spring is endless. "That's the truth.
So dodder and Eucommia ulmoides are used here to warm kidney and strengthen yang.

Not only can tonify kidney, help yang and eliminate yin,
It can also help Ligustrum lucidum and Eclipta prostrata nourish kidney yin.

Ginseng Radix and Radix Angelicae Sinensis may be added as appropriate for patients with deficiency of qi and blood.

Among them, although the monosaccharide ginsenoside rh2 accounts for only one tenth of ginseng, the daily supplement content of 16.2% has good absorption and utilization rate, small molecules are easy to absorb, the effect is clear, and it is not easy to get angry.
