The benefits of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) reach far beyond treating acute and chronic diseases. Since ancient times, Chinese medicine doctors have used acupuncture and various Chinese herbal formulas to improve skincare and enhance beauty.

Chinese medicine views the human body as a holistic system with a complex network of interconnected parts. The body is considered healthy when the interconnected parts are in balance. In Chinese medicine, skin health reflects the condition of internal organs, and any skin-related issues may be traced back to the imbalance of the internal organs in the body.

In Chinese medicine, five significant organs (the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and spleen) connect the entire body. Skin is considered an extension of the inner organs.
