Beauty
Oriental Medicine promotes the flow of Qi and blood, balances the Yin and Yang, and regulates excesses and deficiencies. The Qi of the organs manifests in the face. Therefore, Cosmetic Acupuncture, as a specialty of
Oriental Medicine, treats the whole person with the specific goals of reducing wrinkles, enhancing skin tone, and improving muscle firmness by restoring balance and stimulating the flow of Qi and blood to the face and neck regions. Although the focus of Cosmetic Acupuncture is on beauty, its main objective is to promote health. Beauty is a matter of balance.
Equilibrium
A healthy person is one in perfect balance between the forces of Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang are complementary opposite aspects of every thing in nature. For instance, day is Yang and night Yin, hot is Yang and cold Yin, blood is Yin and Qi is Yang, and so forth. Every phenomenon in the universe alternates through cycles of Yin and Yang.
Day changes into night and summer into winter and vice versa. This interplay of complementary opposites contains within itself both aspects of Yin and Yang. Day is predominantly Yang, but after it peaks at noon, the Yin aspects within it gradually start to manifest whereas the Yang characteristics increasingly fade away as day progresses into night. In our bodies, physiological processes, symptoms, and diseases have their Yin and Yang aspects. The goal of Oriental Medicine is to restore harmony when balance between Yin and Yang is broken.
