What are the health signals of the body represented by the severe oil production in hair? Today, let's analyze from the perspectives of modern medicine and traditional Chinese medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that hair oil production is a manifestation of dampness and heat. Dampness is a metabolic product of the human body, and the metabolic products should be well excreted by the body. The ways of excretion include breathing, defecation, and the elimination of sweat from the pores. If these methods are smooth and unobstructed, the metabolic products of the human body will not be stored in the body to block the operation of meridians. However, if various reasons cause the metabolic products called dampness to be stored in the body, they will accumulate dampness and produce phlegm over time, and become sticky. They will also accumulate dampness and heat to produce heat, leading to some symptoms of hyperthyroidism and heat in the human body. Specifically, for hair oil production, there are hair follicles under the hair, and if there is oil in the hair follicles, there will be hair follicles. Excessive secretion of glands can block hair follicles, leading to local inflammatory reactions and resulting in oily hair, Even prone to hair loss, which belongs to the category of dampness and heat in traditional Chinese medicine.
So what causes dampness and heat or what makes hair prone to oil production? It is necessary to mention a hormone in the body called androgen.
The secretion of androgens in the male body is relatively strong. When the secretion of androgens is relatively strong and personal hygiene is not good enough, especially during adolescence, because the secretion of androgens is relatively high, it is easy for hair follicles to become inflamed, acne on the face, small particles like oil bumps on the hair, and even small red bumps, pain, and itching in the hair, which are common in boys. Therefore, the first suggestion or important method proposed for men to have this situation is exercise.
Because during the process of exercise, one can release their energy well. Androgenin is to make male muscles powerful, and the body needs to resist and release it. Therefore, it is advised that boys with puberty should run more and exercise more. At the same time, it also reminds some middle-aged and young men that because there are many men who exercise now, they often eat protein powder, or middle-aged men often drink alcohol or eat greasy things. These things are easy to help with dampness and heat in traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, for the body, especially those protein powders, it is easy to cause excessive secretion and inflammatory reactions in the hair follicles of the male body. Therefore, these situations belong to excessive androgen secretion. Performance.
So women need to be extra careful when this situation occurs, because they also have androgens in their bodies. If androgens are secreted excessively, in addition to the appearance of oily hair, the pores will also become thick, the hair will become thick, the voice will also become thicker, and then the appetite will become more intense and constipation will occur. There are two or three of these situations, so it is necessary to pay attention to the changes in menstruation. If there are periodic changes in menstruation or a decrease in menstrual volume, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a sex hormone test to see if the levels of estrogen, progesterone, androgen, and other related hormones in the body are disrupted. Many people find that there is excessive secretion of androgens after examination. Or it may be due to the presence of polycystic ovary syndrome detected by ultrasound, resulting in excessive secretion of sebaceous glands If the hair is oily, for women of appropriate age, they are more inclined to look for similar diseases besides being in a damp and hot state.
So, what should I do if my hair has a lot of oil? What should be done to combat damp heat and excessive secretion of androgens?
If it can already be diagnosed as a disease, targeted treatment must be sought. If the body is in a stage between quantitative and qualitative changes, and there is some imbalance in the body, but it can completely self regulate. In addition to increasing exercise, controlling diet, and reducing the intake of high calorie and greasy foods, acupuncture can also be used to stimulate blood:

Recommend two acupoints:

The first acupoint is the Shangyang acupoint on the hand, which is located at the corner of the nail root on the side of the thumb at the end of the index finger;

The second acupoint is the Dadun acupoint located at the corner of the nail root on the outer side of the big toe of the foot.

Da Dun acupoint has the function of clearing dampness and heat, and Shang Yang acupoint has the function of clearing stomach fire. Two acupoints need to be pricked twice a week, with 2-3 drops of blood each time. If the amount of bleeding is too small, the effect is too poor. Because the stimulation is too small, excessive bleeding is not necessary, so 2-3 drops are enough. When using this method, you should also pay attention to your dietary habits, exercise habits, and self cleansing of the body.
