The ancients called beauty change, and the so-called "change" means that the upper part is "day" and the lower part is "moon". This word implies the change of Yin and Yang, so the essence of the so-called change is to adjust Yin and Yang, so as to erase the traces of years and change people's appearance. In this sense, China's traditional cosmetic medicine is also a skill to regulate yin and yang. According to the ups and downs of Yin and Yang in different periods of nature and human body, it adopts the methods of Yang replenishing Yin, Yang replenishing Yang, Yang replenishing Yang, and Yang replenishing Yin to achieve the purpose of maintaining the balance of Yin and Yang between human body, man and nature, beauty beauty and nourishing life.
According to the theory of Yin and Yang, women are water, belong to Kun, belong to Yin, and are mainly blood. Therefore, women must fully consider their physiological characteristics of high estrogen secretion, thick subcutaneous fat, thin epidermis and yin deficiency, and mainly nourish yin and blood. But the theory of Yin and Yang also emphasizes that there is no pure Yin and Yang in the world. As the saying goes, Yin and Yang are mutually rooted, mutually utilized and interacted, with Yang in Yin and Yin in Yang. Therefore, the beauty of women must always understand that there is another side of the female body, which is "Yang in the body and Yang in the yin". The relationship between yin and yang must not be ignored, but should be adjusted organically and reasonably according to the ups and downs of yin and yang in different periods.
In female adolescence, due to the massive secretion of sex hormones in the body, the growth and development of the human body are obviously accelerated, and the yang is very strong. Therefore, Chinese medicine calls the human body at this time "the body of pure yang". Even for negative women, the level of positive (male) hormones in the body can be at a relatively high level. Coupled with the influence of heredity, nutrition, mental stress and many other factors, adolescence is the most likely to lead to imbalance between yin and yang.
At this time, some adolescent women, due to the high level of positive (male) hormones or low level of negative (female) hormones in the body, lead to sebaceous gland hyperplasia, exuberant sebum secretion and induce acne. This is the reason why female acne occurs frequently in adolescence. Therefore, those adolescent women suffering from acne, especially those with rich body hair on their limbs, often show yin deficiency and hyperactivity of yang. The focus of this treatment should be to suppress yang and nourish yin as a supplement and adjust the balance of yin and yang hormones in the body.
The level of androgen in yang hyperactivity type women is high, so "Pierre Siwu Decoction" (Cortex Lycii, Cortex Dictamni Radicis, Cortex Moutan, Radix Rehmanniae, Radix Paeoniae Rubra, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Rhizoma Chuanxiong and Achyranthis Radix) can be taken orally to clear away heat and cool blood. Generally, it can be taken after menstruation 12 ~ 15 days (during the high temperature period of menstrual cycle), twice a day. If you are accompanied by hairy limbs (indicating high androgen level and excessive yang), you can also increase the intensity of nourishing yin and suppressing yang, and take "Baiyu Shenghua Decoction" (Radix Rehmanniae, Herba Houttuyniae, Radix Arnebiae, Radix Asparagi, Trichosanthis Radix, Herba Dendrobii, Concha Ostreae preparata, Radix Scrophulariae, Herba Hedyotidis Diffusae, Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae, Rhizoma Anemarrhenae and parched Cortex Phellodendri) orally to nourish yin, clear heat and purge fire.
After puberty, women's bodies begin to mature day by day. However, in the young and middle-aged period, with various physiological changes caused by sexual life, marriage and childbirth, as well as many psychological pressures from society and family in adulthood, women's nervous and endocrine systems fluctuate violently, entering the "eventful autumn" period, which is likely to lead to the disorder of hormone level and endocrine function in the body, which is manifested by the decrease of skin water content, the weakening of collagen fibers and elastic fibers, and allergic symptoms.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the main reason for the physical decline of young and middle-aged women is the deficiency of yin and blood in the body (the continuous decline of estrogen level). Therefore, from the end of adolescence, women need to choose some skin care products with high water content and water-phase structure to replenish water to the skin from the outside. The most important thing is to strengthen the spleen and stomach, replenish yin and blood, and benefit body fluids according to the essence of yin and blood deficiency in young women. Only by comprehensive conditioning from the inside out can we store and maintain the vaginal fluid (moisture) in the body and skin and delay the aging of women. At this time, "Jinshui Liu Jun Decoction" (Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Poria, Glycyrrhrizae Radix, Rhizoma Pinelliae and Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae) and "Dabuyin Pill" (Cortex Phellodendri, Rhizoma Anemarrhenae, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata and Carapax et Plastrum Testudinis) can be added and subtracted to adjust and supplement the deficiency of yin and blood of young and middle-aged women. It is best to take it after menstruation is clean until ovulation day (negative low temperature period in menstrual cycle).
After menopause, with the overall decline of body function, the levels of various hormones and nutrients in the body drop sharply, and the skin lacks water and oil, resulting in obvious atrophy, dryness, aging and loss of transparency. Therefore, the skin aging of menopausal women is caused by deficiency of essence and blood, imbalance of chong and ren, and deficiency of yin and yang. Therefore, in treatment, it is different from nourishing yin and subduing yang in adolescence and nourishing yin and promoting fluid production in middle-aged and young people. Menopause focuses on regulating chong and ren, nourishing essence and blood, and nourishing yin and yang, and can be "Erxian Decoction" (Rhizoma Curculiginis, Herba Epimedii, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Radix Morindae Officinalis, Cortex Phellodendri, Rhizoma Anemarrhenae)+".
Pregnancy is a special physiological period in women's life, because the growth of the fetus after pregnancy makes a series of changes in women's endocrine function, thus affecting women's appearance. For example, melanocytes are influenced by estrogen and progesterone, which leads to skin pigmentation. Therefore, the pigment in areola, armpit, abdomen, perineum, inner thigh and other parts of pregnant women can be obviously deepened, and yellow-brown or brown spots appear on zygomatic face, nose, forehead and mouth, or merge with each other to form butterfly-shaped spots. This kind of stain generally fades naturally after delivery with the gradual recovery of hormone levels in the body. In the early pregnancy, due to the effect of progesterone, sebum secretion increases, and some women can also have acne attacks or aggravations.
These skin changes in women during pregnancy are mainly caused by the pregnancy of the fetus. Fetus is the essence of parents' blood, which embodies the spirit of heaven and earth. More importantly, she is in a special growth period, and her cells divide and synthesize very quickly. Therefore, Chinese medicine calls the fetus the body of pure yang. Therefore, although pregnant women are negative, the body of pure yang is hidden in the belly, just like holding a "fire in the womb", forming a fire with yang in the yin. Pigmentation and acne attacks in women during pregnancy are all caused by fetal fire. Especially from the fifth month of pregnancy, due to the increase of the fetus, the fetal fire is more vigorous and the skin will become dry and rough.
Because there is fire in a woman's fetus during pregnancy, there is a saying in China traditional medicine that "it should be clear before delivery and not warm after delivery", and skin care and beauty during pregnancy should also follow this basic principle. The prescription can be "Zuojin Pill" (Huanglian Pill and Wuzhu Pill), purging liver and clearing fire, and "Sanxian Decoction".
