Can women wash their hair during menstruation
1. Western medicine believes that there is no medical basis for not washing hair during menstruation, but the theory of traditional Chinese medicine is different. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the head is the first of the six yang, and the uterus is the starting point of the Ren meridian. During physiological periods, blood circulation is already relatively poor. Washing hair can cause blood to concentrate in the head, affecting uterine blood circulation and making it difficult to completely eliminate blood from the uterus, which can easily lead to a decrease in menstrual blood volume or menstrual pain.
2. On the other hand, due to the opening of pores on the hair roots, if exposed to wind and cold, it can easily lead to headaches, especially when washing hair at night or before bedtime.
3. Don't wash your hair before going to bed at night, because washing your hair at night can easily cause headaches, and sleeping before your hair is dry can easily lead to illness.
4. Scientists' research results also indicate that washing hair during menstruation can cause uterine contractions due to stimulation of brain nerves. If the uterus contracts, there will be a chaotic secretion of hormones in the body. If this situation accumulates over time, it will cause cell canceration, leading to the occurrence of gynecological cancers such as breast cancer and uterine cancer.
