Herbs for skin
Chinese herbs can be good for your skin:
According to TCM, white skin with pink cheeks (peaches and cream) is a sign of good health, healthy energy flow and blood circulation. Some healthy people, of course, are born with dark skin and healthy people do tan.
Proper flow of energy and blood not only supports organs but also nourishes the muscles and skin. Insufficient or blocked internal energy can directly cause dark skin.
Many Chinese people offer congratulations on good health when they first see someone, saying qi se hao, (”energy color good”), meaning your complexion is good, you have good color.
TCM says you can improve your color by eating certain herbs and foods and applying acupressure. This will increase blood circulation and energy. Poor color resulting from liver disease, diabetes, wasting and malnutrition requires a doctor’s care.
