The changes of hair growth can represent the health and beautification of the human body. The TCM holds that the changes of hair growth are related to human Qi and blood and the changes of essence and body fluid. The Qi and blood and essence and body fluid of different parts of the human body are different in terms of different channels and collaterals and the internal organs. So the hair in each part of the human body is different. According to physical and pathological conditions of hair, the revelation of the bizarre preventive and curative laws of hair is of great significance to the maintenance and recovery of health and beautification of the human body.

1. Capillary hair and health.

The thin and short hair on the skin is called capillary hair. The lung controls skin and hair. The skin will be strengthened and intense and the capillary will be intense and have color if there is a sound circulated, ventilated and regulated lung Qi. The defensive force is strong. Otherwise, the muscles and skin will be in the relaxing state. The capillary hair will be scarce and easily dropping. The human body is tending to be sick. The preventive and curative measures are to nourish the lung and consolidate the Qi or take medicines or acupuncture and moxibustion.

2. Hair and health.

The hair grows by the essence of parents. " The essence of kidney lies in the hair." "The hair is the residue of the blood." So the hair grows by the essence of kidney and Qi and blood. The dark and nourishing and thick hair which cannot drop easily is a symbol of the kidney essence and adequate Qi and blood. The white and dry and thin hair which can drop easily reflect the weak kidney essence and Qi and blood. To prevent the hair diseases, we must not hurt kidney and waste blood. The curative measures are to take medicines which can nourish kidney and blood. When you take acupuncture and moxibustion, you'd better use cold abscess and the related strong acupoints.

3. Eyebrow and health.

The eyebrow grows by the surplus vital energy of sluggish eyes or Bin Qiao or Qiao channels. The inner side of brows is nearby the sun. The outer side of brows grows by adequate channels and Qi and blood. If these channels and Qi and blood are adequate, the brows will be clear and long. Otherwise, the brows will be thin and dry. Qiao or Qiao channel controls the Yin and Yang of the human body respectively. The operation of channels Qi circles around like a ring without end. The twelve regular channels cannot reach Qiao or Qiao channel, so the brows have no invigorating and declining changes all the life and have few diseases. But some patients with thin brows and falling brows must receive treatment in the specific departments.
