Anti-Aging Treatments with Facial Acupuncture

     Mаnу реорlе are fаmіlіаr wіth the іdеа that асuрunсturе and Chinese medicine trеаtѕ раіn аnd illness. Few реорlе аrе aware that асuрunсturе саn be uѕеd аѕ аn anti-aging tооl. But уеѕ, it іѕ true. Acupuncture саn hеlр a реrѕоn lооk аnd fееl younger. How is that роѕѕіblе, уоu аѕk? 
     ​​Anti-aging acupuncture, also known as cosmetic acupuncture in certain circles, works on both the "root" and the "branch" levels, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine. This old adage means that the body is treated from both the inside and outside.
      Treating the outside involves specific acupuncture techniques that promote collagen production and local circulation, resulting in reduced fine lines and wrinkles, and increased tone in facial muscles. It lifts, tightens, and enlivens the tissue, effectively turning back the clock without the need for surgery.
Treating the body from the inside involves using acupuncture techniques and herbal formulas to ensure efficient and balanced organ function, leading to overall health. When the body functions in a balanced and efficient manner, health ensues, resulting in a healthy and lustrous glow in the skin and improved energy levels. This is because acupuncture focuses on treating the whole body, rather than just the presented illness.
      Acupuncture has found exciting use in the area of anti-aging, as it treats wrinkles without using any creams, gels, potions, or treatments developed from artificial ingredients that may cause further aging. This practice has been in use for over two decades, which is just a blink of an eye in the ancient world of acupuncture.
     Overall, acupuncture is a valuable tool for emotional health, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other conditions that benefit from Chinese medicine, herbal medicine, osteopathy, and massage therapy. As an acupuncturist and massage therapist, I believe that combining these practices can lead to optimal results for patients seeking comprehensive care.

    Traditional Western medicine offers aggressive and irritating anti-aging options like surgical interventions and Botox, which are not ideal. On the other hand, acupuncturists focus on natural treatments that aim to treat the whole person. Herbal therapies may be used in combination with acupuncture, often with great success.
      When choosing an Eastern medicine approach, it is essential to work closely with your therapist. Acupuncturists begin by completing a thorough patient history while listening for the real reason behind the patients' complaints. This form of medicine believes that a facial wrinkle may have its origin in another area of the body. If that problem is resolved, then the wrinkle will lessen.
      Acupuncture is based on the ancient Taoist practice and focuses on balancing both the Yin and Yang. It also focuses on the quality of your body's Chi, which is defined as the energy that flows through your body in 14 different paths. All of these come together to help your physician determine your final diagnosis.
Your health challenge happens when your Chi, or body's energy, is disrupted, allowing problems to develop. With the restoration of your Chi's flow and the rebalance of Yin and Yang, your health is restored, emotional issues are lessened, and physical symptoms are reduced. One of the best side effects of this bodywork is a younger and healthier look. Fewer wrinkles will make their home on your face when you are well balanced and restored.

    Acupuncture is a much better option to enjoy for anti-aging options instead of going under the knife for a traditional facelift procedure. Although facial softening and the resolution of wrinkles through acupuncture occur very slowly and over a period of time, it is a patient and effective option to consider.       If you are looking to lessen wrinkles and are seeking anti-aging options, you owe it to yourself to research acupuncture options. Who knows, you might get a little Yin and Yang rebalance in the process.
