The method of treating white hair with purslane

Purslane has a certain auxiliary effect on improving white hair, but it cannot cure white hair. Purslane is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which help nourish hair follicles and improve hair health. White hair is mainly related to factors such as genetics, aging, mental stress, and malnutrition. It is recommended to combine internal regulation and external nutrition for comprehensive improvement.

1. Oral administration of Portulaca oleracea

Wash fresh Portulaca oleracea and blanch it in cold water or boil it in soup for consumption 2-3 times a week. Purslane is rich in vitamin B and iron elements, which can help improve the melanin synthesis function of hair follicles. People with weak and cold constitution should pair ginger with warm and warm ingredients to avoid excessive consumption that may cause gastrointestinal discomfort. White hair caused by long-term stress can be treated with calming herbs such as sour jujube kernels and acacia bark.

2. External application method of purslane

Take fresh purslane, crush and extract juice, add an appropriate amount of coconut oil and mix well. Apply to the scalp and massage for 10 minutes before washing off. The alpha linolenic acid and zinc elements in purslane can promote scalp blood circulation, and should be used 1-2 times a week. Individuals with scalp damage or allergies are prohibited from using it, and a skin test must be conducted before use. Can be combined with black hair medicinal herbs such as side cypress leaves and Polygonum multiflorum to enhance the effect.

3. Portulaca Tonic Diet formula

30 grams of purslane, 15 grams of black sesame, 10 grams of walnut kernel, Congee, suitable for kidney deficiency type white hair. Purslane has a cold nature and needs to be paired with warm and nourishing ingredients to balance its medicinal properties. This formula contains abundant linoleic acid and vitamin E, which can improve hair follicle microcirculation. For those with weak spleen and stomach, 10 grams of yam and 10 grams of Poria cocos can be added and boiled together. Continuous consumption for one month can show improvement.

4. Preparation method of purslane tincture

Soak 200g of purslane whole plant in 500ml of 75% alcohol, seal and store in the dark for 2 weeks, and then filter. Dilute 5 milliliters of the tincture with 10 milliliters of distilled water during use, and use a cotton swab to apply it to the roots of white hair. Tinctures have strong permeability and are suitable for locally stubborn white hair, but are contraindicated for individuals with alcohol allergies. Can be used alternately with Ligustrum lucidum tincture to reduce irritation.

5. Comprehensive conditioning plan

combines external application of purslane with dietary therapy of black beans and black rice, combined with scalp acupoint massage for better results. Pressing the temples and Baihui acupoints for 3-5 minutes daily can improve blood supply to the head. It is necessary to maintain a regular schedule and avoid staying up late and experiencing emotional fluctuations. Sudden large amounts of white hair should be promptly examined for pathological factors such as hyperthyroidism and vitiligo. Improving white hair requires long-term persistence. During the use of purslane, spicy and stimulating foods should be avoided, and scalp sun protection should be paid attention to. It is recommended to comb your hair 100 times a day to promote blood circulation, preferably with a wooden comb or a horn comb. At the same time, moderate consumption of copper containing foods such as mulberries and seaweed can help with melanin synthesis. If there is no improvement within six months, it is necessary to seek professional treatment at a regular hospital's dermatology department to rule out the possibility of organic diseases. Maintaining an optimistic attitude is equally important for delaying the progression of white hair.
