BEAUTY & SKIN CARE - - A
Chinese herbal prescription.
Skin care should not be tied
to beauty only. It should be
viewed as a health practice.
The skin is a very important
tissue that envelops and
protects your body. If not
attended to, irritating
conditions may arise such as
dryness, peeling, itch,
pimples, and small eruptions,
etc., which may develop into
bigger problems like rashes
lasting for months or even
years. If the skin is well
taken care of, the hair and
the nails will be as well for
they are real extensions of
the skin.

The Chinese approach connects
skin problems to 'excess heat'
in the blood, which means
several things including:
�?� Too much spicy, barbecued,
deep fried, or greasy food.
�?� Too much shellfish such as
crabs, clams, mussels,
oysters, etc.
�?� Not enough sleep, or going
to bed too late.
�?� Not enough rest causing an
overactive liver.
�?� Toxins in blood due to
unhealthy eating or
environment.
�?� Not enough fluid consumed
everyday.
�?� Not eating the right kind
of food such as vegetables and
fruits to nourish or
moisturize the skin.

If you come from a different
culture, some of the causes
mentioned above do not seem to
have obvious reasons. I'll try
to explain more in another
video. Nevertheless, those
reasons are validated everyday
by observing the habits of
those suffering from dry skin
and associated problems.

Nature of skin problems:
�?� Skin problems may not be
limited to just one location.
They can move to other parts
of the body since they are
related to blood.
�?� Minor problems are easier
to treat with diet or habit
change.
�?� When a major skin problem
has developed, it will remain
a long-term irritation with
periodic flare-ups triggered
by the above-listed causes.
�?� You cannot expect fast
cure from a major skin
problem. You can only look for
steady improvements in the
form of intensity, duration,
and frequency of flare-ups.
�?� If the problem does not
spread to a new location, and
the old location is being
replaced by newer skin, it
will definitely be a good
improvement.

External treatment:
�?� Skin care is a
multi-billion dollar business
with countless products and
services for external
treatment.
�?� Surgery and other advanced
treatments are becoming
popular too.
�?� You have to find the right
kind of product or service
suitable for your skin.

Internal treatment:
The Chinese approach,
basically, is to nourish and
detoxify the blood, calm the
liver, moisturize and nourish
the skin:
1) Nourish blood
Dan Shen 丹�?
He Shou Wu �?�?�?�
2) Detoxify blood
Xian He Cao �?鶴�?
Bai Hua She Cao �?��?��??�?
3) Calm liver
Bai Shao �?��?�
Jin Yin Hua �??�??�?�
Huang Qin �?�?�
4) Moisturize skin
Mai Men Dong 麥�??�?�
Xuan Shen �??�?
5) Nourish skin
Yu Zhu �??竹
Sha Shen �?�?
A combination of 11 herbs is
recommended.

Drink one cup (8 oz) or two of
herb tea a day, morning and
night.

This is just one formula with
countless variations depending
on:
* How bad is the skin problem
and where.
* Do you make an effort for
diet or habit change.
* How sensitive is your body
