Chinese medicine always makes people feel magical. It's just some grass and roots, but it can cure diseases and maintain beauty. Traditional Chinese medicine has existed since ancient times, and it is mostly the secret recipe of the court's painstaking research. Up to now, modern people are also eager for it. Traditional Chinese medicine has its uniqueness. When you don't know how to choose in front of a dazzling array of skin care products, you might as well find another way and try the wonderful use of Chinese medicine. The earliest recorded secret recipe of court beauty is the "half-year red" of Zhang Lihua, the love princess of Chen Houzhu in the Southern Dynasties. Zhang Lihua is famous for her beauty, and it is said that she benefited from the secret recipe of face cream. This secret recipe is extremely important. The signboard is said to come from the domestic beauty book Pillow Porcelain, which the Queen Mother was afraid of being peeked at. The medicine used in this secret recipe is extremely simple: one egg and two ounces of cinnabar. The production method is a little more complicated: take the newborn egg, carefully open a small hole in the egg, remove the yellow and leave it clear, put it in fine cinnabar powder, seal the small hole with wax, put it in the nest with other eggs to be hatched for the old hen to hatch, and then hatch out after other chickens hatch. This secret recipe has a magical effect. It is said that it can make your face white and red after use, and all freckles, acne, blackheads and acne will be swept away, and it will never recur. By the way, even the problems of skin relaxation and wrinkles will be solved together. The secret recipe spread to the Ming dynasty, and some people upgraded the product, replacing cinnabar with golden flower rouge and a little bittern sand, and other things remained unchanged. In addition to the above effects, the upgraded product can keep the face rosy for a long time, even if it is washed three times a day, it will not fade for a long time, so it also has an extremely loud name-"Half-year Red". These beauty secret recipes seem to have various names and complicated production procedures. In fact, these traditional Chinese medicines can be easily found not only in Chinese medicine shops, but also in small Chinese medicine shops where clerks or pharmacists can prepare them quickly without any trouble. The beauty of TCM adheres to the theoretical essence of "wholeness, balance and nature". Good skin needs not only external protection and modification, but also nourishment from the inside out. The life activities of the body depend entirely on the complementarity of qi and blood, and harmony between qi and blood leads to vigorous spirit, strong physique, beautiful appearance and moaning without illness. Therefore, it is very important for women to regulate qi and blood. Therefore, first, we must persist, and second, we must relax, and we should not rush for success, so that the body can slowly recuperate in a harmonious and relaxed state. It should be noted that any tonic has side effects, and the choice of traditional Chinese medicine for beauty should be decided after consulting a doctor according to your physical condition, and you can't use it at will. Whether it is eaten or externally applied, it is necessary to adjust the medication according to the individual's physique and season. After all, everyone's body and skin are different, and different seasons and solar terms will affect everyone's microenvironment to varying degrees. If the hormone secretion in the body is unbalanced, it is difficult to achieve the cosmetic effect simply by applying a mask or taking some unilateral Chinese medicine. The traditional beauty theory of traditional Chinese medicine has always emphasized "nurturing from the inside out". Chinese medicine believes that whether a person's skin is moist or not is closely related to the function of viscera. Visceral diseases, qi and blood disharmony, skin will be rough, there will be spots on the face. Therefore, the beauty prescription of traditional Chinese medicine also starts with harmonizing qi and blood and regulating the functions of the five internal organs to achieve the effect of whitening and removing spots. "Sanbai Decoction" has the effects of nourishing qi and blood, whitening skin and moistening skin: take 5g of Radix Paeoniae Alba, 5g of Atractylodis Macrocephalae, 5g of Poria cocos and 2g of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch, decoct them in water and take them warm. It is suitable for rough skin, chlorosis, chloasma and pigmentation caused by deficiency of qi and blood and wind-cold. Traditional Chinese medicine mask can be used every day at first, or every other day. After achieving the desired effect, stick to 1 2 times a week. Because Chinese medicine is a pure natural plant, it does not contain lead, mercury, hydroquinone and other chemical components, and can be used for a long time. But for some people with sensitive skin, there will be a photosensitive effect after using angelica dahurica, so it is best to apply it at night and wash it off in the morning. The biggest feature of TCM beauty secret recipe is to return to nature and use natural materials.
