According to the above information, since sewing clothes and seeking medical treatment are listed as suitable activities today, getting a haircut on the day of Chushu is a good choice.
"The saying 'a haircut and a foot bath are better than taking medicine' shows that getting a haircut has become an option for many people to reduce internal heat. However, it should be noted that when you have a cold, it's best not to get a haircut. Don't rely solely on a haircut to relieve your cold symptoms.
In traditional Chinese medicine, a cold is caused by wind pathogens trapped inside the body. Since the head is a "yang position" and wind is a "yang pathogen," the head is more susceptible to wind invasion. Hair naturally serves as a protective layer for the head, blocking wind. After a haircut, wind pathogens can easily invade the head, worsening the cold.
As winter approaches and the weather cools down, there is a traditional saying in TCM: "cool the head and warm the feet." People with a yang deficiency constitution, who are sensitive to cold and have cold hands and feet, should wear a hat early according to the weather to keep warm. On the other hand, people with a yin deficiency constitution, who often feel warm hands and feet and are prone to internal heat, should follow the "cool the head and warm the feet" principle. Some chronic conditions, such as hypertension, which is considered to involve excessive yang energy, may not be suitable for wearing a hat too early. Patients with chronic bronchitis, however, should take care to stay warm early on to avoid catching a cold, which could lead to a recurrence of their condition.
Nowadays, the hairdressing and beauty industry has taken on a brand-new, modern appearance. The industry meets the public's aesthetic and cleanliness needs through modern management and scientific technology, rather than relying on mysterious and elusive deities.
