Improvement in blood circulation can also rehydrate the skin by stimulating the sweat glands and sebaceous glands, to help with exfoliating by encouraging the proliferation of new cells, thus giving skin brightness.

TCM believes that the formation of eye bags is caused by kidney failure, lack of sleep or fatigue. This could easily make people look old and haggard. The treatment method: stimulate the corresponding acupuncture points through acupuncture, accelerate the decomposition of local fat, and tighten the loose eyelids. Chinese medicine also believes that the formation of eye bags is directly related to the function of the spleen and stomach, especially the function of the spleen, which directly affects the function of muscles and the metabolism of body fat.

As the rate of collagen production slows down and elastin, which firms and restores skin's elasticity quickly, decreases, or even breaks, the skin begins to age naturally around the age of 25, especially for women. When the blade needle is used to puncture the dermis below the wrinkle, it directly stimulates and activates the collagen below the wrinkle; increasing the content of collagen below the wrinkle, allowing the skin to regain elasticity and become plump.

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through the skin at strategic points of the body. The key component of traditional Chinese medicine is the use of Acupuncture which is most commonly used to treat pain. Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force. Many Western practitioners view the acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and tissues connectivity. Some believed that this stimulation boosts your body's natural painkillers. Acupuncture is used mainly to relieve discomfort associated with a variety of diseases and conditions, including, Chemotherapy-induced and postoperative nausea and vomiting, dental pain including tension headaches like migraines, labour pains, lower back and neck pains, osteoarthritis and menstrual cramps pains syndromes.

Many gastrointestinal problems can be attributed to disharmony in the Stomach, the Spleen or both organ-meridians, which may lead to symptoms such as indigestion, nausea, burping, bloating, constipation, abdominal pain and loose bowel movements. In TCM, these issues are traditionally treated with digestive tonic herbs and acupuncture .Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) use the tongue and mouth as a diagnostic tool for thousands of years. Different sections of the tongue correlate to specific organ systems in the digestive tract. The coating, size, colour and shape of the tongue can each tell a practitioner about the health of the digestive tract. Traditional Chinese herbalists view the processes of digestion differently to the way we think about them in Western medicine. According to this ancient system of medicine, consumed food is initially processed by the stomach organ-meridian (OM), where it is 'ripened' or broken down into its useful (‘pure’) and waste (‘impure’) components. Of these, the useful parts are directed upwards to the Spleen organ-meridian system, where they're transformed into the nutrients, energy (Qi), Blood and fluids the body needs, while the wastes are directed downwards to the Small Intestine and ultimately the Large Intestine for excretion.

Traditional Chinese Medicine can help alleviate symptoms of insomnia, sleep apnoea, and feelings of stress and anxiety which can interfere with sleep. In traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture employs needles to help balance your flow of qi (or chi) throughout your body. Needles are strategically placed in specific points along 14 meridians – or qi pathways – in your body in order to rebalance your energy flow. When qi gets stuck, it can cause pain, discomfort, reduced bodily function, or illness. Strategic placement of the needles releases the blockage and allows energy to flow as your body’s natural healing process kicks in. After an acupuncture session, many individuals report a blissful, relaxed or even dazed feeling referred to as “acu land.”

When used in conjunction with Western fertility treatments, acupuncture increases conception rates by 26%.
