How to detoxify your skin for anti-aging ~ Wu Mingzhu recommends: taking a bath with fruit peels

With the change of seasons, dry skin and lack of elasticity and brightness often trouble women who love beauty. Chinese medicine practitioners point out that taking a bath with fruit peels can not only make the skin smooth and delicate, but also relieve stress and lose weight. However, for those with allergic skin, it is recommended to start with a small amount of peel and then gradually increase the amount to avoid over-irritation of the skin and causing discomfort.

Chinese medicine practitioner Wu Mingzhu pointed out that bathing for health preservation is not an invention of modern people. Medicinal bath therapy has already existed as early as the Warring States Period 4,000 years ago. The medicinal baths recorded in traditional Chinese medicine have uses ranging from curing diseases to fitness and beauty, and are a very popular way of maintaining health. To keep your skin hydrated, you should first start with the internal environment.

Bathing nourishes blood and detoxifies

Taking a bath can stimulate nerves, secrete hormones in the brain, and awaken body cells to start activity. Taking a bath regularly can also speed up blood circulation, thereby relaxing the body and mind, allowing cells to obtain a sufficient supply of oxygen and nutrients. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, taking a bath can not only eliminate toxins from the body, but also has the effect of activating blood circulation and moisturizing the skin.

It is recommended to adjust the bath recipe according to your mood and physical condition. If you have trouble sleeping, you can add a few drops of lavender essential oil. If you do not want to use essential oils, you can also make your own Chinese medicine bath bag. Take appropriate amounts of Schizonepeta, Kochia scoparia, Saposhnikovia, Angelica, Coix seed, and Sophora flavescens. After boiling, add the juice to the bathtub to relieve insomnia symptoms. When taking a bath in spring, you can add some medicinal herbs such as bupleurum, tangerine peel, mint, rose and turmeric to nourish and protect the liver.

Fruit peel bath moisturizing can reduce weight

Chinese medicine practitioner Wu Mingzhu emphasized that everyone has different skin types, and the concentration of the medicinal bath bag should be adjusted according to the situation, and the amount of bath water should be added as appropriate; if there is no bathtub at home, you can use a small wooden bucket to soak your feet. As long as the body sweats, it can achieve the effect of activating blood circulation and relaxing. If you want your skin to be shiny and elastic, you can take a bath in fruit peel to achieve the effects of moisturizing and losing weight.

Fruit peel bath for health preservation:

• practice:

• 1. Wrap more than 10 slices of ginger and a dozen citrus peels in a pair of stockings and throw them into the bath water.

• 2. Fold the softened peel into a section and rub it on the joints or obese areas.

• 3. Apply moisturizing body lotion after taking a bath.

Tips: People with sensitive skin should start with a small amount of peel and then gradually increase the amount to avoid over-irritating the skin.

Angelica and ginger bath for cold hands and feet

In addition, for women who often have cold hands and feet, Chinese medicine practitioner Wu Mingzhu recommends using an "Angelica Ginger Bath" to relieve symptoms, because ginger and angelica can promote blood circulation throughout the body. If a little vinegar is added, it can enhance the moisturization of the skin, help soften the cuticle, restore the skin's luster and elasticity, and improve cold hands and feet.

Although taking a bath has many benefits, Wu Mingzhu also reminds that you should drink more warm water or health tea after taking a bath to regulate the body's immunity and skin moisturizing. For example, take 1 qian each of Ganoderma lucidum, green tea, Astragalus, and Panax notoginseng, add 500cc of water and boil it into a tea for immunity enhancement, which can replenish qi, produce body fluids, and regulate immunity; 4 qian of Astragalus, 1 qian of rose, add a tea bag and boil it into a tea for replenishing qi and fighting depression, which has the effect of replenishing the liver and replenishing qi, removing depression and restlessness, and restoring skin elasticity.

【Intimate Reminder】：

Although taking a bath can be beneficial to your health, people who like to take an essential oil bath should pay attention to ventilation. As for those who take a Chinese herbal bath, they must pay special attention to protecting their eyes, genitals, etc.; and it is recommended that people take a "half-body bath", that is, the water level should not be too high, the temperature should not be too hot, and the time should not be too long, in order to reduce the risk of physical discomfort.
