Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) beauty care integrates the wisdom of traditional medicine and the needs of modern beauty care, and realizes both internal and external beauty effects through a holistic approach. Chinese medicine emphasizes the harmony of qi and blood, and believes that “qi” and “blood” are the keys to maintaining health and beauty.
Meridian Massage: Activating Qi and Blood
According to Chinese medicine, meridians are the channels through which qi and blood run, and massage can promote the flow of qi and blood and improve the skin's condition. Common meridian massage methods include facial gua sha, head massage and foot reflex zone massage. These massage methods can not only improve facial blood circulation and enhance skin luster, but also relieve stress and promote general relaxation.
Facial Gua Sha can be done using a natural jade Gua Sha board that gently scrapes along the meridians of the face, which can help flush out toxins, reduce puffiness and enhance facial contours. Head massage, on the other hand, can relieve tension in the head, promote blood circulation in the scalp, and help improve hair quality.
Acupuncture for beauty: deep conditioning
Acupuncture is an important method of Chinese medicine beauty treatment. By stimulating specific acupoints, it can regulate qi and blood in the whole body and improve skin problems. For example, acupuncture can effectively treat acne, discoloration and wrinkles on the face. By stimulating acupuncture points on the face, such as Yingxiang and Chengjian, it can promote blood circulation in the face, accelerate metabolism and improve skin texture.
Acupuncture and cosmetic treatments need to be performed by a professional Chinese medicine practitioner to ensure safety and effectiveness. Regular acupuncture conditioning not only improves skin condition, but also regulates endocrine secretion and improves overall health.
Herbal Skin Care: Natural and Gentle
Herbal skincare is a specialty of Chinese medicine beauty care. Through the use of skincare products made from natural herbs, they can gently and effectively care for the skin. Common herbal skincare ingredients include Angelica, Ginseng and Ganoderma Lucidum, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and restorative properties.
Angelica is known to tonify and invigorate the blood and can be used to improve dull skin tone and pigmentation; ginseng is known to nourish the skin and fight aging; and ganoderma lucidum can boost the skin's immune system and promote cell regeneration. Using masks, serums and creams made from these natural herbal ingredients can provide rich nutrients to the skin and improve its quality.
Regulating qi and blood: from the inside out
Chinese medicine emphasizes internal regulation and external nourishment. By regulating qi and blood, the condition of the skin can be fundamentally improved. Common ways to regulate qi and blood include food therapy and medicinal diets. For example, the soup made of red dates, wolfberries and angelica can replenish blood and nourish the skin; astragalus and ginseng in water can help improve the body's immunity and improve the skin condition.
In addition, Chinese medicine also advocates through the theory of the five elements, according to personal constitution and seasonal changes, choose the appropriate health care methods. For example, it is advisable to detoxify and nourish the liver in spring, clear away heat and detoxify the toxins in summer, moisten the lungs and nourish yin in fall, and warm up the kidney and yang in winter. Adjusting diet and routine according to different seasons and body types can better maintain health and skin beauty.
