Is Chinese medicine effective in removing spots?

Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are two completely different fields. Western medicine is more accustomed to using chemical substances extracted from drugs or surgical methods to treat diseases, while traditional Chinese medicine pays more attention to conditioning the patient's internal body, directly using medicinal materials or massage acupuncture to eliminate toxins in the body, thereby achieving the effect of curing diseases. In terms of facial beauty and skin care, traditional Chinese medicine also has very good therapeutic effects. So, is traditional Chinese medicine effective in removing facial lines?

How are spots formed?

The pigmentation on the face is often called spots. There are many types of spots, including chloasma, freckles, sun spots, etc. Most doctors believe that the occurrence of "spots" is mostly due to organ dysfunction, qi stagnation, blood stasis, and obstruction of collaterals.

1. Dysfunction of internal organs

The main pathogenesis of the spots are: kidney deficiency, insufficient kidney water, inability to control fire, weak blood unable to nourish the flesh, internal accumulation of virtual heat, stagnation that does not dissipate, and blocking the skin; spleen deficiency cannot transform and produce essence and the clear yang does not rise, and the turbid yin does not descend, resulting in phlegm and dampness stagnation inside the body, affecting the formation and transportation of qi and blood, causing the facial skin to be malnourished, qi and blood stagnation and the formation of brown spots; emotional frustration and mental tension lead to liver qi stagnation, loss of stored blood, liver depression turning into heat, liver fire rushing up, and blood heat unable to nourish the face. The pathogenesis is mostly attributed to the damaged functions of the liver, spleen and kidneys, which leads to the imbalance of Qi.

2. Qi stagnation and blood stasis

When the Qi mechanism is disordered and the Qi and blood are rebellious and cannot nourish the face, brown spots will appear. Many doctors agree that there will be no spots without blood stasis and that the key to the onset of the disease is Qi stagnation and blood stasis. Regardless of whether it is a disease of Qi and blood, or a disease of blood and Qi, it can eventually cause Qi stagnation and blood stasis. Qi stagnation and blood stasis and organ damage are often mutually causal. Blood stasis stagnates in the organs and meridians, causing the skin to lose nourishment and develop spots.

3. Collateral stasis

Qi and blood flow upward through the meridians and are infused into the face. The collaterals are the hubs for the distribution of the nutrient and defensive qi, blood, and body fluids, and are the final link in the transfer of nutrients. Tangible evils such as phlegm and stasis are not easy to pass through, often causing collateral stasis, which in turn obstructs the flow of qi, blood, and body fluids, which, over time, will cause phlegm and blood stasis.

What factors are related to long "spots"

age

When a woman reaches the age of 35, her body functions will slowly age. First, the Yangming meridian will decline, her face will start to look haggard, and her hair will slowly fall out.

At the age of forty-two, the three yang meridians in the upper part of the body decline, the face becomes dry and withered, and the hair begins to turn white. This shows that as the human body ages, the yang qi becomes deficient, and qi and blood cannot flow to the face, making the complexion dull, and spots appear due to blood stasis in the collaterals.

UV rays

When the skin is oxidized by ultraviolet rays, the so-called "singlet oxygen" free radicals are produced. The free radicals activate melanocytes to produce melanin deposits, causing dark spots.

Computer radiation

When the computer is turned on, it will generate static electricity, which will cause the surface of the fluorescent screen and its surroundings to absorb a lot of dust and dirt in the air. Because users are close to computers, a large amount of dust will fall on the skin, clogging the pores, making the local skin dry and causing inflammation. It also absorbs moisture on the surface of the skin and causes dehydration of the epidermis. If things go on like this for a long time, it will contribute to the formation of spots.
