Everyone loves beauty. Women love beauty, no matter you are a queen or a servant girl. Empress Wu Zetian, the first empress of China, lived 8 1 year. She also contributed to the cause of beauty. Not only does she have a beauty secret recipe that has been handed down to later generations, but her health care methods are also quite different, but it is estimated that it is difficult for ordinary people to imitate it. -She uses handsome Toy Boy for health care. "Shen Nan's medical skill is not necessarily brilliant, but he is famous for serving the Queen (Wu Zetian), which is also a miracle in the history of physician" (Physician/Qu).

Empress Wu Zetian was the first empress in the history of China, and she lived for 8 1 year. Let's not talk about her achievements here, but only her uniqueness in medical care.

Wu Zetian is a very caring person, and doctors have also prescribed many beauty secrets for her. There are two famous beauty tips commonly used by Wu Zetian. One is "motherwort powder", which was included in the New Materia Medica edited by Su Jing, and was later included in the Secret of Foreign Taiwan by Wang Dao. Later, it was also included in medical books by later generations and renamed as "Xianji Powder". In Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty, the original name was restored in Compendium of Materia Medica. Motherwort is a good medicine for gynecology, which can be taken orally or used externally. Externally applied to the face, it has the effect of treating dull complexion and removing facial spots and wrinkles; Regular use can make the skin moist and shiny.

The specific method of motherwort noodles is to collect motherwort with all the roots and seedlings on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year. The collected motherwort can't bring a little soil, otherwise it will have no effect. Sun-drying the collected motherwort, pulverizing, grinding, adding proper amount of flour and water, concocting into egg-sized pills, sun-drying, and then using yellow mud as a stove with small holes on both sides, putting charcoal fire on the upper and lower layers of the stove, putting pills between the two layers, and igniting and firing. After a big fire, simmer for 24 hours, and you can't put out the fire halfway. The final refined pills should be white and delicate in color. Pills are usually ready to be taken out, then thoroughly cooled, put into a porcelain bowl, ground with a jade hammer (or a staghorn hammer), and then ground, and so on, the finer the powder, the better. Then mix jade powder or cornu Cervi powder into the medicine, then put the medicine in a porcelain bottle and seal it, and then take it out when using it. The preparation of this pill is very particular, including the time of receiving the medicine, the color of the medicine, the temperature during the pharmaceutical process and so on. If it is not done well, the pill will turn black and yellow, and it will lose its efficacy. The main drugs and children who make these pills must strictly follow the requirements in order to make them successfully. Wang Tao said in his notes: at first, washing your face with this medicine will make your hands smooth and your face shiny. Later, you will gradually become rosy. If used for many years, a woman in her forties and fifties will look as young as a woman in her fifties, and Wu Zetian, who is 80 years old, can still maintain a beautiful face, which seems to be related to her frequent use of this beauty secret recipe.

Another beauty prescription was prescribed by Zhang Wenzhong, a physician, to Wu Zetian, and it was called "Apply facial fat frequently", which was included in Wang Tao's "Tips for Outside Taiwan". As a beauty product, facial cream was very popular in the Tang Dynasty, which is equivalent to our facial mask today. Different from today, the mask at that time was made of natural medicinal materials. The main ingredients of this prescription are asarum, yam, astragalus, Typhonium Typhonium, Flos Magnoliae, Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Radix Angelicae Dahuricae, Fructus Trichosanthis, Indigoferae Cortex and lard. The preparation method is also very complicated. The medicine should be chopped, then soaked in wine overnight, then fried, and then slowly solidified into facial fat. Rhizoma Dioscoreae Septemlobae, Fructus Trichosanthis and lard have the effects of nourishing yin and moistening skin; Asari, Rhizoma Typhonii and Flos Magnoliae can dispel wind and dredge orifices; Astragalus membranaceus can replenish qi and kidney; Chuanxiong and Indigofera can promote blood circulation and keep moisture. Therefore, this mask can make the skin smooth, wrinkle-free and moisturize after use, and the curative effect is still remarkable.

Although there are different opinions about Wu Zetian's face-nourishing, from the perspective of ancient atrioventricular health preservation, if it is harmonious and restrained, it can also achieve the function of health preservation and longevity, so it can also reveal the reasons for Wu Zetian's longevity from another angle. Among Wu Zetian's favorite young leaders, one is her physician, named Shen Nan, who is young and handsome and knows medical skills, so she is also very favored in front of Wu Zetian. He also said that Wu Zetian's blood gas is weak, and it is very difficult to replenish qi through medicine stone. Yuanyang method should be adopted, and the combination of yin and yang will make blood gas sufficient. Wu Zetian is happy to support her from a medical point of view. Shen Nan's medical skill may not be brilliant, but he is famous for serving the Queen, which is also a miracle in the history of doctors.
