Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a rich history of using plant-based collagen sources to promote plump skin. TCM herbs such as Tremella mushroom, Goji berry, Chinese angelica root, and Astragalus root are known for their collagen-boosting properties. These herbs are packed with nutrients that support collagen production and improve skin elasticity.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a holistic approach to understanding emotions and their effects on physical and mental health. TCM views emotions as an integral part of overall well-being and believes that emotional imbalances can impact the body's health. Here's how TCM can help you gain insights into your emotions and achieve a sweet balance for your physical and mental health.

Meridians spread throughout the human body in a connected network, their qi nourishes the body's internal organs. There are hundreds of acupuncture points along meridians. Meridians are essentially strings connecting acupuncture points, which are considered as passageways through which energy flows throughout the body.

Acupuncture is one of the oldest healing practices in the world, and today it's still used to treat a wide array of disorders. The practice is based on the concept that disease comes from the disruption in the flow of Qi (pronounced "chee") and imbalance in the forces of Yin and Yang.

Moxibustion is a type of heat therapy in which “moxa” (a substance made from the dried leaves of the herbs mugwort or wormwood) is burned on or near the skin's surface to warm the meridians, stimulate Qi flow, dispel cold and dampness, and strengthen the immune system.

Gua Sha is an ancient Chinese healing technique that has been used for thousands of years. It involves using a smooth-edged tool to scrape the skin and promote healing, reduce inflammation, relieve muscle tension, and improve skin health. Let's dive into the history of Gua Sha and explore its benefits.

The theory of Yin and Yang is that anything or events in nature containing two aspects: Yin and Yang. Humans are considered to be an integral part of nature, composed of the most basic matter (named "qi") and its movement. This movement consists of two basic movements with different trends.

The five elements are the movement of five basic substances: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. The five elements reinforce and restrict each other.

In TCM, the five elements are matched to five organs: liver, heart, spleen, lungs and kidneys. 

The term “on fire” is a folk term, also known as “excessive internal heat” or “hot air” and is explained by TCM theory as a category of heath syndrome. According to TCM theory, when the body’s Yin and Yang are out of balance and internal heat is strong, the body suffers from excessive internal heat.

Food therapy is used to help our bodies maintain balance of Yin and Yang and to resolve illness and prevent disease. Essentially food such as meat, fruits, vegetable and grains can be used to target, treat or supplement the treatment of certain diseases, adjusting Yin and Yang to bring balance and rehabilitate the body and mind. 

Tui Na is a form of therapeutic massage that originated in China over 2000 years ago. It uses special massage techniques to remove blockages along the meridian acupoints in order to stimulate Qi and blood flow.
