Throughout history, hair has been considered a symbol of beauty (for women) and virility (for men)…
The lifespan of a strand of hair is about 5 years on average, but 60-100 strands of hair are lost every day. It may not seem like much, but what can you do when the effects are visible to the naked eye?
Hair loss is not just a cosmetic problem. It is one of health and wellness. Chinese and Tibetan medicine texts state that you can tell a person’s general health by looking at their hair, skin, and nails.
How do you improve the quality of your hair and your overall health?
Well, it’s important to know that hair grows from follicles within the skin on your head… and over 90% of your hair is basically dead protein and is very high in sulfur.
Sulfur is the fifth to ninth most abundant mineral in the body and is widely distributed in the atmosphere, especially in rainwater…but because we eat greenhouse-grown plants and not wild foods, over the years our bodies have become deficient in sulfur.
If you want to add some extra sulfur to your diet, you should eat more protein-rich superfoods like hemp seeds, pollen, goji berries, and algae like spirulina, chlorella, etc.
However, the best way is to add a few grams of organic sulfur, also called MSM, to your diet every day. MSM is an almost magical compound that also helps strengthen bones and teeth, brightens complexion, increases flexibility and mobility, relieves joint pain, and makes eyes more radiant and bright. You can get it at the health food store on SacredEden.com.
Another important mineral for your hair is silica. This is also found in the nails, bones and muscles. The best sources of silica are dark green leafy vegetables… From medicinal plants like nettle and horsetail to more conventional kale and spinach, vegetables will do wonders for your health.
Vitamin C also plays an important role… Today, you can get vitamin C almost everywhere, from pharmacies to health food stores. Be sure to supplement with at least half a gram twice a day.
In Chinese medicine, hair loss is related to the loss of Jing. Jing translates to “essence” and is one of the 3 treasures… a substance that must be kept and not wasted.
Loss of Jing essence causes hair loss, lower back pain, joint pain, etc. Chinese medicine lists some plants that can restore Jing essence such as schizandra berry, morinda root, noni fruits, etc.
Fortunately, we have discovered an even more powerful sacred plant that can restore this jing essence, boost your energy, cleanse your blood, and help turn gray hair black. It’s called “Zhi Shou Wu” or “Ho Shou Wu”, which translates to “Mr. Ho’s Black Hair”.
Legends say that Zhi Shou Wu changed Mr. Ho’s hair from gray to black at the age of 58, helped him father several children, and restored his youthful appearance. He lived to be 130!
