During menstruation, the body's resistance is relatively weak, so it is best not to let the body feel the invasion of evil energy, otherwise it may lead to illness. The older generation said that one should not wash their hair during menstruation, otherwise they will get sick. Is there any scientific basis for this statement? Today, the editor will share with you the topic of whether you can wash your hair during menstruation. Women, come and take a look.
During menstruation, waste in the body can be converted into blood and excreted through the cervix. Due to the loss of blood, the body's resistance naturally decreases, and the blood circulation slows down. If you wash your hair at this time, not only will you be exposed to wind and cold, but it will also cause blood to gather in the head, resulting in insufficient uterine blood. In traditional Chinese medicine, during menstruation, the body is relatively in a state of deficiency of qi and blood. During menstruation, there is insufficient qi and blood, and the blood supply to the brain is relatively insufficient. At this time, the head is easily affected by wind and cold. Cold and hot stimulation during hair washing may also cause symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, insufficient blood supply to the brain, and vascular spasms, which is gout. Therefore, women should avoid washing their hair less during menstruation.
From a medical theory perspective, it is recommended that women do not wash their hair for 3-5 days during their menstrual period, and it is best to avoid washing their hair for 1-3 days during their menstrual period. But now it's difficult for women not to wash their hair, so doctors suggest that if they have to wash their hair, it's best to do it in the middle of the day, and the washing speed should be faster. After washing the hair, pay attention to keeping it warm, use a hair dryer to dry it, and never let the cold enter the body.
In summary, it is best for women not to wash their hair during their menstrual period. If they do not wash their hair, they should pay attention to keeping warm after washing it. They should use a hair dryer to dry it before going out, and try not to go out in windy weather to avoid feeling cold.
