A short-term solution is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/t-gray-hair\">gray hair<\/a> The dyes used can cause health problems, however they are not recommended for everyone. There are better ways to restore gray hair&#8217;s natural color. Shu Rong, a veteran traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner, provides three simple tricks that may help with restoring your hair\u2019s natural color.<\/p>\n<p>TCM says hair is the manifestation \u201cdeep-rooted\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/t-blood\">blood<\/a> health. According to Chinese medicine blood is considered a fluid that nourishes the body. Qi can also influence hair color. Qi, which is the energy that fuels our bodies, is derived from what we eat and how we breathe. The hair is the final place Qi and blood reach before they reach other organs. If the circulation of Qi and blood is poor, it can cause problems. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/t-qi\">qi<\/a> If blood supply is not sufficient, hair can fall out, thin, and turn gray.<\/p>\n<p>Hair graying and loss can also be affected by emotions and worries. Ancient references have suggested that Wu Zixu (a grand warrior of ancient China) and Queen Mary (of France), both had their hair turn gray overnight\u2014is there any wonder?<\/p>\n<p>The thinking brain uses a lot of energy. TCM says that the kidneys are responsible for producing marrow and bone, and the brain requires large amounts of kidney qi in order to function. The body adjusts to the loss of melanin when a lot of kidney qi is mobilized in order to replenish energy absorbed by thought.<\/p>\n<h2>Gray Hair: When does it appear?<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cSuwen (Questions of fundamental nature),\u201d One part of the Chinese classic in Chinese medicine \u201cHuangdi Neijing,\u201d It is common for women to begin to notice gray hair around the age of 42, while it is more common for men to see gray hair around 48. They are less likely to get gray hair if they have enough kidney qi or know how to maintain their hair better. The main reasons that gray hair is more common in modern times are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Genetics:<\/strong>\u00a0A condition that causes a defect in the kidney essence or a blockage of the kidney qi, which renders it unable reach the top of its head.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Habits that are unhealthy every day:<\/strong>\u00a0Excessive sex, smoking, drinking, overeating, unhealthy eating, and intemperate consumption of sweet, greasy, and hot foods.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Diseases<\/strong>Especially: Kidneys, liver and spleen.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Location of Gray Hair\u2013A Reflection of Viscera Health<\/h2>\n<p>The location of gray hair growth can reflect the health of internal organs and\u00a0the overall health of the body. Therefore, Shu Rong believes that if the health of the body is optimized, there is a chance that color may return\u2014or at least that the graying process will slow.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Forehead:<\/strong> Spleen and stomach disorder\u2014too much thinking (pondering or worrying), constipation and diarrhea, or an inability to concentrate on eating.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Temples:<\/strong> Overheated\u00a0liver and gallbladder\u2014and the gallbladder, it is said, is in charge of decision-making. People who must think critically and make difficult choices are more likely to have gray hair around the temples.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The back of the head<\/strong> Deficiency of kidney qi and bladder. Rong believes that gray hairs on the back of the heads can indicate chronic disease. Rong needs to be especially vigilant.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4993041\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/01\/18\/1-1200x676.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy wp-image-4993041 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/themes\/eet\/images\/white.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"1428\" height=\"804\"   style=\"display:none\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4993041 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"1428\" height=\"804\" \/><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a> (Health 1+1)<\/figure>\n<h2>These are 3 simple tricks to restore natural hair color<\/h2>\n<p>Some foods can help gray hair return to its original color.<\/p>\n<p>Shu Rong recommends eating<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Black sesame seeds:<\/strong> Sun Simiao\u2019s (Tang dynasty around 652 AD) \u201cThe Essential Prescriptions for a Thousand Golds\u201d This refers to choosing high-quality black sesame seed and then preparing them by washing nine times, steaming them, sun-drying them, then adding boiled honey, jujube paste, and making 10g (0.4 ounces), pills.
