The head is home to the five sensory organs and the central nervous system. Regular combing strengthens the friction on the scalp, improves blood circulation, nourishes the hair, making it black and shiny, and strengthens hair roots to prevent hair loss. It also improves hearing and vision, relieves headaches, and helps prevent colds. Furthermore, it promotes blood supply to the brain and cranial nerves, helping to lower blood pressure and prevent diseases such as cerebral hemorrhage. It invigorates the brain, relieves fatigue, prevents brain aging, and slows down brain aging.
The correct way to comb your hair is: from front to back, then from back to front; from left to right, then from right to left. Repeat this cycle dozens or hundreds of times, then tidy and comb your hair until it is smooth and shiny. The comb should ideally be made of wood such as peach wood or natural materials like ox horn, with rounded teeth. Combing time is generally 5 minutes each in the morning and evening, or at other leisure times. Avoid combing after a full meal, as this may affect the digestive function of the spleen and stomach.
When combing your hair, you can also combine it with finger massage. Spread your ten fingers naturally and use your fingertips or pads to make circular kneading motions from the hairline at the front of your forehead to the hairline at the back. Then massage from the sides to the top of your head. Use even and consistent force. Repeat this dozens of times until you feel a slight warmth on your scalp.
