提防秋冬脫髮
秋冬天氣乾燥，皮膚乾噌噌可以塗潤膚霜，那麼頭皮呢？除了頭皮乾燥問題，有人甚至覺得秋冬天脫髮問題比夏天嚴重。從中醫角度來看，正所謂「秋收冬藏」，相比春夏天氣血會偏向體表、四肢及頭部各處，秋冬天的氣血會沉伏在臟腑之中，供應給頭髮養份相對減少，掉髮數量有可能因此增多。
中醫理論認為，頭髮健康與肝腎大有關係，因為「肝藏血，髮為血之餘」、「腎藏精，其華在髮」，所以秋冬天要多注意肝腎保養，適量進食黑色食物，例如黑木耳、黑豆、黑米、黑糯米、黑芝麻、黑棗、桑椹、烏雞等。每天梳頭及按摩頭皮，洗頭時間不宜過長，水溫亦不宜過高，以免洗走過多頭皮油脂以致乾燥。最後要有充足睡眠，因為熬夜會傷及肝腎，保持心境開朗，因為情緒緊張、壓力過大都會導致肝氣鬱結，導致脫髮。

Prevent hair loss in autumn and winter
It is quite dry during fall and winter. You can apply moisturiser on dry skin, but what about your scalp? In addition to the problem of dry scalp, some people have more severe hair loss in autumn and winter than in summer. From Chinese medicine perspective, fall is about harvest and winter is about storage. In spring and summer, qi and blood will flow to the body surface, limbs and head. The qi and blood will be saved into organs during autumn and winter. The nutrients to hair is relatively reduced which may worsen hair loss.
Chinese medicine believes that hair health is related to liver and kidneys as liver stores blood and hair is an extension of blood. The health of the reproductive system is closely related to the kidneys, the kidneys can also dictate the health of hair. Therefore, you need to pay more attention to liver and kidney maintenance in autumn and winter, and appropriately consume black colored food such as black fungus, black beans, black rice, black glutinous rice, black sesame seeds, black dates, mulberries, black chicken. Brush your hair and massage your scalp every day, and do not wash your hair for too long. The water temperature should not be too high to prevent washing away too much scalp oil and causing dryness. In the end, you must have enough sleep, because staying up late will hurt the liver and kidneys. Remember to keep a happy mood, as emotional stress and excessive stress can lead to liver qi stagnation and hair loss.
