Principle of traditional Chinese medicine beauty
1. Moisturize five internal organs and nourish qi and blood.

The five internal organs, namely heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney, form an organism with human skin, facial features, beard, hair and nine orifices of limbs through meridians, qi and blood, and the rise and fall of qi and blood of the five internal organs is directly related to the health of the body and face. Through the movement of meridians, yang, yin, blood and body fluid, the five internal organs expand the body surface, nourish and nourish the skin and resist the invasion of external evils, thus keeping the complexion rosy, muscles plump and skin hair moist. Therefore, the strength of the internal organs is the guarantee of a healthy and beautiful posture, and the filling of qi and blood is the guarantee of a healthy and beautiful posture and a moist face. Qi and blood are one of the most basic substances that constitute the human body and maintain human life activities, and the exuberance of qi and blood is manifested on the material basis of the face. Therefore, Chinese medicine therapy attaches great importance to the role of viscera and qi and blood in beauty, and makes the body strong and looks long by moistening the five viscera and replenishing qi and blood.

2. Dredge meridians, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis

Meridian is widely distributed in the human body, which is to run the whole body's qi and blood, contact the viscera and limbs, communicate the upper and lower internal and external meridians, and maintain the normal physiological activities of the human body. Trace substances are transported to all parts of the body through the meridian system. Only when the channels and collaterals remain unobstructed and the qi and blood flow unimpeded can we have a healthy body and moist skin. If the channels and collaterals are blocked and the qi and blood flow is not smooth, it will cause qi stagnation and blood stasis, and the skin and muscles will be dull without the nourishment of qi and blood, and even lead to skin diseases and affect beauty. Therefore, TCM treatment should follow the principles of dredging meridians, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis in order to achieve better cosmetic effect.

3. dispel wind and clear heat, cool blood and detoxify

In nature, your wind, cold, heat, humidity, dryness and fire will not cause harm to people under normal circumstances, but when the climate changes abnormally or the human body is deficient in qi, the resistance will decrease. Six qi will become evil, invade the human body and become a disease. At this time, six qi is called six yin, which is the main pathogenic factor of exogenous diseases. As far as beauty is concerned, wind evil and heat evil are the most harmful among the six evils, because wind evil is often the forerunner of exogenous evil, while face, beard and eyes are exposed, and these parts are most vulnerable to wind evil, while heat evil is most likely to attach to wind evil, invade human meridians and affect human qi and blood circulation. At the same time, heat easily turns poison into blood, which makes blood hot, thus leading to many diseases with loss of ability.

4. Detumescence and stagnation, eliminating dampness and relieving itching.

Some diseases that damage the ability, such as acne and rosacea, are mostly manifested as local redness and itching. Especially those facial diseases that persist for a long time are mostly related to damp evil. Therefore, at the same time of purging, expelling wind and clearing heat, cooling blood and detoxicating, drugs for relieving swelling and stagnation, eliminating dampness and relieving itching should be added appropriately.

5. Whitening, beautifying and reducing wrinkles

White, smooth, shiny, ruddy and elastic skin is not only a sign of health, but also the charm of beauty. Besides nourishing viscera, qi and blood, regulating yin and yang and dredging meridians, some drugs that directly nourish skin, whiten face, resist aging and reduce wrinkles are often used in beauty products.
