Can I wash my hair during my period?

We know that women's bodies are relatively weak during menstruation. This is because their immunity and digestive abilities are relatively poor during menstruation. Therefore, we recommend that women pay attention to their food, clothing, housing and transportation during menstruation. There are many aspects that need to be paid attention to during menstruation. Some female friends like to wash their hair during menstruation. So is this a good practice? Let's take a look at the analysis below.

1. Western medicine believes that there is no medical basis for not washing your hair during menstruation, but Chinese medicine theory disagrees. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the head is the head of the six yang meridians and the uterus is the starting point of the Ren meridian. During menstrual period, blood circulation is inherently poor. Washing your hair will cause blood to concentrate in the head, affecting the blood circulation in the uterus, making it impossible for the blood in the uterus to be discharged smoothly, which can easily cause a decrease in menstrual blood volume or menstrual pain.

2. On the other hand, since the pores on the hair roots are open, if you catch a cold at this time, it is easy to cause headaches, especially if you wash your hair at night or before going to bed.

3. Since night is yin and head is the first of six yang, when yin and yang are at odds, headaches will be more serious. If you go to bed immediately before your hair is completely dry, and your body's resistance and metabolism are low, all kinds of problems will definitely find you.

4. Scientists' research results also show that if you wash your hair during menstruation, the brain nerves will be stimulated and the uterus will contract. If the uterus contracts, the hormone secretion in the body will become disordered. If this situation accumulates over time, it will cause cell canceration and lead to gynecological cancers such as breast cancer and uterine cancer.

5. Women's body resistance will be weaker during menstruation than usual. At this time, you must pay attention to maintenance. If you don't pay attention, it is likely to have a certain impact on the body. Therefore, it is best for female friends not to wash their hair during menstruation. If there are special circumstances, they cannot wash their hair in the first three days. Do not use cold water to wash your hair, but hot water.

In the above article, we introduced the reasons why female friends are in poor health during menstruation. We recommend that female friends pay great attention to self-care during menstruation. It is best not to wash your hair during menstruation to avoid harm to the body.
