How to recover from hair loss due to kidney deficiency?
For hair loss caused by kidney deficiency, you can first eat some black sesame seeds, walnuts, or Chinese yam in your daily diet, which can help nourish the kidneys and effectively improve the condition. However, severe hair loss requires timely treatment to nourish the kidneys for proper adjustment. It is most important to maintain adequate sleep and avoid excessive fatigue. The diet should be nutritious, focusing on foods that nourish the kidneys, and kidney function can also be timely adjusted by taking traditional Chinese medicine. Such measures can lead to significant improvement. Additionally, acupuncture can be used to effectively regulate the body by stimulating specific points, or cupping therapy can also be used for treatment.
Will an oily scalp occur with hair loss due to kidney deficiency?
Hair loss caused by kidney deficiency also results in an oily scalp, as the lack of nutrients in the hair leads to oil secretion. It is essential to adjust one’s condition in a timely manner if kidney deficiency occurs. For minor cases, effective relief can often be achieved through dietary adjustments. In more severe cases, however, timely medication is necessary for effective treatment to prevent the condition from worsening. Regularly consuming foods like Chinese leeks, Chinese yam, and goji berries can help nourish the kidneys. It is also crucial to prioritize rest and avoid staying up late, as frequent lack of sleep can exacerbate physical weakness and worsen the condition.
Does kidney deficiency type hair loss cause an itchy scalp?
Hair loss caused by kidney deficiency generally causes an itchy scalp because, during hair loss, the scalp lacks nutrition, leading also to a significant amount of dandruff, which results in itching. It is advised to consistently manage this condition in everyday life. To treat kidney deficiency, one can promptly take medications for effective and quick treatment. Dietary adjustments, such as including leeks, Chinese yam, and goji berries, can also significantly help in replenishing kidney deficiency and effectively managing the condition. Additionally, engaging in moderate physical exercise can help increase resistance.
How to distinguish between plum pit qi and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Plum pit qi and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can initially be distinguished by their symptoms. For example, plum pit qi primarily presents with a sensation of a foreign object in the throat, which cannot be coughed up nor swallowed down. On the other hand, GERD may lead to vomiting, gastrointestinal indigestion, and it is likely to cause symptoms such as throat pain. Therefore, distinguishing between the two based on their symptoms can be very effective. Regardless of whether it is plum pit qi or GERD, it is crucial to seek timely treatment to prevent the condition from worsening and becoming more difficult to cure.
Symptoms of colds caused by wind-cold
The symptoms of a cold caused by wind-cold primarily include feeling chills, headache, and respiratory symptoms such as a runny nose, nasal congestion, coughing, and sneezing. Additionally, symptoms like dry mouth and reluctance to drink water may appear. It is advised to keep warm regularly to avoid catching a cold. In terms of diet, it is best to avoid spicy and irritating foods, and it is recommended to consume more fresh fruits and vegetables. Drinking more plain water can effectively alleviate symptoms. If the condition is severe, it is best to go to a formal hospital and receive treatment according to the doctor's guidance.
Does taking a bath help with a cold caused by excessive internal heat?
Taking a bath after catching a cold, especially with cold water, is not effective and is generally not recommended as it can exacerbate the illness. It is advisable to use warm water if bathing is necessary, and not to bathe daily as this can also worsen the condition. It is best to treat a cold by taking medication, and dietary practices should avoid stimulating, greasy, and spicy foods. Eating fresh fruits and vegetables, drinking plenty of water, and frequent urination are recommended for effective relief. Additionally, it is important to ensure adequate rest and avoid staying up late.
The difference between having excessive internal heat and having a cold
When "excessive internal heat" occurs, it generally leads to physical weakness and can also cause pain, such as sore throat, oral pain, stomachache, etc. The symptoms of a cold mainly manifest as coughing, excessive phlegm, nasal congestion, runny nose, and an itchy throat. Therefore, effective differentiation can be made by comparing these symptoms. Regardless of whether it is "excessive internal heat" or a cold, it is important to manage the condition early to effectively prevent the illness from worsening. Drinking more plain water can also provide some relief.
What are the symptoms of a cold due to qi deficiency?
Qi deficiency cold generally manifests as symptoms such as a yellowish complexion, weight loss, dizziness, and overall fatigue, which most often occur after getting chilled in autumn. It is advisable to drink more water and urinate frequently, which can effectively remove some toxins through the urine and alleviate the symptoms of qi deficiency cold. The diet should be light and easy to digest, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods to prevent exacerbating the condition. If the condition is severe, it is essential to visit a formal hospital in a timely manner and follow the doctor's guidance for symptomatic treatment. Additionally, soaking your feet more often can effectively improve the symptoms.
Will the hair grow back after kidney deficiency type hair loss is treated?
When hair loss occurs due to kidney deficiency, normally, hair will regrow after the kidney deficiency is treated. However, in severe cases of kidney deficiency where hair loss occurs, some patients may not experience regrowth, so results can vary from person to person. During treatment, it can be beneficial to consume foods like black sesame seeds, walnuts, and black beans, which can effectively promote hair development and provide relief. It is crucial to treat kidney deficiency promptly to prevent exacerbating the condition, making it more difficult to cure. It is also important to avoid staying up late regularly.
Can soaking feet in ginger cure athlete's foot?
Soaking feet in ginger can effectively treat athlete's foot, but it requires a longer duration. If the soaking time is too short, it will not be effective in treating athlete's foot and needs to be carried out over a long term. Generally, it is recommended to soak for about 15 to 30 minutes—neither too long nor too short. Soaking for too short a period will be ineffective, and soaking for too long may cause some negative effects, so extra attention is needed. Regular foot soaking also benefits the body by promoting blood circulation, unblocking meridians, and improving physical constitution.
