People with strong kidney qi have black, shiny, and dense hair, while people with weak kidney qi have prematurely gray hair, which becomes dull and even falls out. Therefore, most premature graying of hair is related to kidney deficiency and the inability of the kidney to nourish blood and store essence. Therefore, Chinese medicine often uses kidney tonifying methods to treat premature graying of hair. Shouwu is only a medicine for tonifying the kidney, benefiting essence, and nourishing blood.
