The Goddess Day is approaching, and every woman wants to make herself beautiful, but a large number of women are troubled by dull complexion and ** spots.
Whitening creams, whitening **, whitening essences, etc. are expensive, not to mention, and the effect is not satisfactory. In particular, the Drug Administration from time to time issued a notice that the sampling inspection of cosmetics did not meet the requirements, and some bacteria and molds exceeded the standard; Some heavy metals exceed the standard, especially lead, mercury and arsenic; Some even add hormones to make people uneasy.
In fact, it is raised on the inside, and the beauty is on the outside. Good ** should not only be modified from the outside, but also nourished from the inside, starting from the harmony of qi and blood, and the conditioning of the five organs, so as to enhance the function of the spleen and stomach.
Now, the pharmacist recommends to you a beauty prescription that can replenish qi and blood, whiten and moisturize the skin and remove freckles - Sanbai Tang, and it is also suitable for men.
Sanbai soup comes from Li Yu's "Medical Introductory Volume: Typhoid Fever Medication" in the Ming Dynasty, which records that "white peony, atractylodes, and white poria each have one penny, five points of licorice, and they are fried in water and warm." It is a miracle prescription for treating weakness or diarrhea, or thirst, and regulating internal injuries and external feelings. ”
This recipe was originally typhoid fever and annoying, but later doctors found that this recipe could replenish qi and blood, whiten and moisturize the skin, so it spread among the people.
This recipe is well matched, and is suitable for roughness, chlorosis, melasma, pigmentation, acne, acne, acne, etc. caused by qi and blood deficiency (endocrine disorders).
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that people's ** and viscera function is closely related, if the viscera is diseased, qi and blood are not in harmony, then **rough, facial spots.
This formula starts from the function of nourishing qi and blood and regulating the internal organs, so as to achieve the purpose of whitening, freckle and acne, and can be drunk by both men and women.

And among the viscera, the spleen, liver, kidneys are most likely to be affected, if the three viscera dysfunction, so that the qi and blood are not smooth, the essence is lost, ** will become gloomy due to lack of nourishment. **Pigmentation is caused by liver qi stagnation, spleen and soil deficiency, liver and kidney insufficiency, etc., and blood circulation and blood stasis are the basic principles of reducing pigmentation.
In other words, women should pay attention to replenishing blood and thinning the liver. A woman with sufficient qi and blood, liver qi relief, and comfortable emotions often has a ruddy complexion, exuding health, confidence, and beauty from the inside out.
