Throughout history, hair has been considered a symbol of beauty (for women) and virility (for men)…
A strand of hair has an average lifespan of about 5 years, yet you are losing 60 to 100 hairs every day. It may not sound like much but what can you do when the effect is visible to the naked eye?
Hair loss is not just a cosmetic problem. It is one of health and well-being. Chinese and Tibetan medical texts state that you can tell a person’s general state of health by looking at their hair, skin, and nails.
How do you improve the quality of your hair and your overall health?
Well, it’s important to know that hair grows from the hair follicles of the skin on your scalp… and that over 90% of your hair is basically dead protein and is rich in sulfur.
Sulfur is the fifth to ninth most abundant mineral in the body and is widely dispersed in the atmosphere, especially in rain water…but because we’re eating plants grown in greenhouses and wild foods No, our body has got it over the years. Sulfur deficiency.
If you want to add some extra sulfur to your diet, you should consume more high-protein superfoods such as hemp seeds, bean pollen, goji berries and algae such as spirulina, chlorella, etc.
The best approach, however, is to add a few grams of organic sulfur, also known as MSM, to your diet daily. MSM is an almost magical ingredient that helps build strong bones and teeth, clears your complexion, increases flexibility and mobility, reduces joint pain, and makes your eyes more radiant and glowing. You can get it from SacredEden.com health food store.
Silica is another important mineral for your hair. It is also found in nails, bones and muscles. Dark green leafy vegetables are some of the best sources of silica… From medicinal plants like nettle and horsetail to the more traditional kale and spinach, greens will do wonders for your health.
Vitamin C also plays an important role… Vitamin C can be found almost everywhere nowadays from pharmacies to health food stores. Make sure you supplement with at least half a gram twice a day.
Hair loss in Chinese medicine is linked to loss of Jing. Jing translates as “essence” and is one of the 3 treasures…a substance that must be protected and not wasted.
Loss of Jing essence causes hair loss, lower back pain, joint pain, etc… Chinese medicine lists some plants that can restore Jing essence such as Schizandra Berry, Morinda Root , noni fruit, etc.
Luckily, we’ve discovered an even more powerful sacred plant that can restore this jing essence, increase your energy, purify the blood, and help turn white hair back to black. It is called “Xie Shou Wu” or “Ho Shou Wu”, which translates as “the black hair of Mr. Ho”.
Legends say that Zi Shou Wu turned Mr. Ho’s hair from white to black when he was 58, helping him father many children and restoring his youthful appearance. He lived to be 130!
