Acupuncture facials - also known as cosmetic acupuncture - are gaining serious traction in the world of holistic skincare, and not just because celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Gwyneth Paltrow swear by them.

🌿 What Are Acupuncture Facials?
Cosmetic acupuncture involves inserting ultra-fine needles (about one-fifth the size of typical hypodermic needles) into strategic points on the face, and sometimes the body, to stimulate:

Collagen production 🧬
Blood circulation 💉
Skin tone and elasticity ✨
Overall energy flow (Qi) 🌬️

And unlike Botox or fillers, this method is entirely natural and rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It’s often part of a broader wellness routine that addresses stress, digestion, and sleep; factors that directly impact skin health.

Promising a natural glow without injectables, cosmetic acupuncture is the holistic beauty treatment gaining fans from celebrities to Gen Z.

Benefits of Chinese Herbal medicine

Ischemic stroke (IS) is a devastating disease with high disability and mortality rates worldwide. Despite advances in medical treatment, managing IS remains a significant challenge. In China, traditional Chinese herbal medicines (TCHMs) are often sought as alternative pharmacotherapies for both prevention and rehabilitation because of their proven efficacy and relatively low incidence of adverse reactions. While TCHMs do have certain limitations, their value cannot be overlooked.

These findings suggest that TCHMs can treat IS through various pharmacological mechanisms, mainly anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, antioxidative stress, and mitochondrial regulatory mechanisms.
