The number one natural beauty tip I can give you
is to take your health seriously. In Chinese medicine, we know that
natural external beauty is a reflection of inner health and well being.
Often, the solution to external beauty problems is an internal one.
That means foods and herbs. In the case of skin problems, herbs can be
use to create creams or wraps and applied directly.
In Chinese medicine, we treat problems like acne,
blemishes, and other skin problems, hair loss, and premature graying of
the hair. Some of this you may need to see a Chinese medicine herbalist
for, but some of it you may be able to deal with yourself. I'm going to
give you natural beauty tip after natural beauty tip to help you do
just that.
Natural Beauty Tip 1 - Eyes Lacking Luster
what does it mean? You can see it in babies and young children -
bright, glowing eyes. Our oldest Chinese medicine classic states that
"the essence of the internal organs ascends to the eyes." The Bible
says something similar, "Your eyes are windows into your body. If you
open your eyes wide in wonder and belief, your body fills up with
light." Clear and glittering (shining) eyes indicate vitality of mind
and essence. Dull, clouded eyes reflect a disturbed mind, and weakened
essence - this often happens in people with long term and deep
emotional problems.
How can you fix it? Well, first of all, if you
have some emotional problems, work through it with a professional- a
counselor, therapist, or someone within your religion. This is one part
of getting to the clear, vibrant personality that shines through in
bright eyes. It may take a while to get there. Second, you can take
herbs and eat foods that benefit the eyes.
Natural Beauty Tip 2 - Bags under Your Eyes
Bags under the eyes indicate Kidney-system (root energy) deficiency,
blood stagnation, or allergies. Respectively, the solutions are to
increase energy and minimize overwork; get more movement and
circulation; and find the allergy cause, eliminate it, and take
anti-allergenic herbs and foods. The Kidney-system energy is limited.
If you overwork, have too much sex, or use more energy than your
digestive system can produce, you'll dip into this limited energy fund.
This can lead to more than circles under your eyes- you can end up with
premature aging and hair loss, impotence and infertility, and ankle,
knee, and lower back problems. If that's your problem, try to practice
moderation, eat better, and take supplemental herbs and foods.
Natural Beauty Tip3 - Dry Skin
Moistening herbs and foods are soy, spinach, asparagus, millet, barley,
salt, seaweed, apple, tangerine, pinenut, persimmon, peanut, pear,
honey, oysters, and clams. A seaweed facial wrap would be nice, too!
