Acu-Face-Lift
The word is OUT!!!
The treatment that celebrities and socialites in New York, L.A.
and London are turning to for a fresh, youthful look; may sound like
a new and wonderful discovery has in fact been around for centuries!
Even before needles were invented, acupressure was used
by Chinese Dynasty Emperors and their courtesans to treat
a variety of health concerns. Women of the royal court use
to regularly massage special points on their face and body to
maintain their youth and beauty.
Later when needles became available, they were inserted
into the face and body for accelerated results.
“At 35 years, the stomach and large Intestine pathways that govern the major
facial muscles begin to deplete, the muscles begin to atrophy,
facial wrinkles appear, and hair begins to thin”
Yellow Emperor’s Classic Of Medicine
The beauty of Yin and Yang . . .
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a
sophisticated system of medicine with a history
spanning 3000 years. The philosophy is based on
the laws of nature seeking balance. This balance is
known as Yin and Yang, two polar opposites that
can not exist without each other.
Yin is cold and Yang is hot and without the other,
our bodies either burn up or freeze.
Energy circulates through invisible pathways
in our body to keep us warm and strong.
Each pathway is connected to an internal organ.
When the energy in the pathways is blocked,
empty or overflowing, our internal organs are
directly affected, causing us to become ill
and age prematurely.
Blood is Yin and keeps our bodies lubricated,
preventing us from getting too hot. It nourishes our
skin and provides our body with nutrients to build
collagen but as we age,
it starts to wane,
causing our skin
to slacken and
lose its glow.
The beauty of acupuncture is its ability to affect
the flow of energy in pathways to benefit our
whole body, so what is deficient is nourished,
what is too cold is warmed, what is too hot is
cooled and what is stagnant is moved. It follows
the principle that beauty radiates from the inside
out. When our energy is flowing smoothly, our
blood is abundant and our organs are strong,
beauty reveals itself externally.
Every face tells a story . . .
The shape of the mouth, spirit in the eyes, the
lines and colouring of the face can reveal much
information about the person’s level of health
and vitality to a skilled practitioner.
TCM is about
treating the whole body, looking for patterns and
harmonising what is out of balance.
As such,
Acu-Face-Lift works on more than just the lines on
the face; it benefits and restores the entire body
(which ultimately manifests externally!)
