Does Kidney Weakness Cause Hair Loss?

Hair is relatively important for everyone. Hair loss is common in daily life, and there are many causes for hair loss. To treat hair loss, it is necessary to eliminate the causes of hair loss and treat it accordingly. We all know that hair is mainly nourished by the kidneys. Once kidney qi is insufficient, it will lead to hair loss. Hair loss caused by kidney deficiency needs active conditioning. If not adjusted in time, the phenomenon of hair loss will not only worsen, but may also lead to other diseases in the body. What is the reason for hair loss caused by kidney deficiency? Kidney deficiency is the main cause of hair loss. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes that the kidneys govern essence, essence produces blood, and there is an inseparable close relationship between blood and hair. Therefore, patients with kidney deficiency often have insufficient essence and qi. Without nourishment, hair will fall out. External stimulation is also the main cause of hair loss. External stimulation mainly comes from perms, hair dyes, hair pulling, hair binding, poor air environment, unclean washing, etc. These stimuli directly damage the hair follicles, causing chronic hair loss, and easily damage the hair quality, making the hair thin and soft. Most of these factors are caused by humans, so we need to pay attention to them. What should I do if I have kidney deficiency and hair loss? First, there should be regularity in daily life. During treatment, not only should sexual activity be controlled, but also attention should be paid to preventing the invasion of pathogenic factors, such as emphasizing hygiene and preventing pollution of the environment, water sources, and food. Clinically, it is believed that hair loss and white hair are closely related to people's mental state and sleep. If the spirit is chronically melancholic or sleep is chronically insufficient, it can cause the nerves that supply hair to be in a tense state, resulting in vasoconstriction and insufficient nutrition for hair, causing hair to be easily dry, brittle, white, and fall out. Second, the diet should be nutritionally balanced. A combination of meat and vegetables is the basic dietary requirement for hair care. The diet should be regular, quantitative, and have less spicy, hot, greasy, sweet, and strong-flavored foods, including large amounts of meat and fish, such as mutton, dog meat, fatty meat, beef, and other heat-producing foods; avoid eating spicy foods such as ginger, scallions, and pepper; avoid eating hair-raising foods such as carp, crucian carp, and pumpkin. There is no need to worry too much about hair loss caused by kidney deficiency. Mild symptoms can be adjusted through diet. If the situation is already severe, external drug treatment or combined traditional Chinese medicine and dietary therapy can be used first.
