足少阴肾经气血充盛,胡须就润泽而黑。足太阳膀胱经气血充盛,头发就润泽而黑。这两条经络的气血虚衰,胡须和头发就会变成黄色或白色。然而想要恢复其润泽,重现青黑色,虽然有涂抹染色的方法,但还不如服用补益气血的方剂作为日常调理。因为气血调和适宜,滋润的功效就会显现于外,这比起涂抹染色的功效要远胜得多。

The Kidney Meridian of Foot-Shaoyin (Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Channel) has abundant blood and qi; thus, the beard is moist and black. The Bladder Meridian of Foot-Taiyang (Foot-Taiyang Bladder Channel) has abundant blood and qi; thus, the hair is moist and black. When the blood and qi of these two meridians are deficient, the beard and hair turn yellow or white. Therefore, to restore their moisture and return them to a deep black color, although there are methods of external dyeing, it is far superior to take formulas that tonify blood and replenish qi as daily maintenance. When blood and qi are harmonious and adequate, their nourishing effects manifest externally, which is far more effective than mere external dyeing.
