The occurrence of spots is caused by stagnation of Qi, blood and body fluid in the upper body.The reason why the blood is blocked is mainly due to the weakness of the liver, spleen and kidney.The liver and spleen are blocked, and it becomes a stain on the face.Therefore, freckle removal should start with nourishing viscera, dredging meridians, and regulating qi and blood.Almost every woman over the age of 30 will have various spots on her face. Although the causes of these melanin spots are different, they affect the appearance in the same way.Among all kinds of spots, 30-year-old women are most likely to develop chloasma, especially after giving birth.Why do people grow spots?Heredity is a major factor. In addition, excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays, wind and sun, long-term work in harsh environments, poor cleaning habits, irregular life, improper drug use, endocrine disorders, etc., can also cause people to develop spots .From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the occurrence of spots is caused by the stagnation of Qi, blood and body fluid in the upper body.The reason why the blood is blocked is mainly due to the weakness of the liver, spleen and kidney.The liver and spleen are blocked, and it becomes a stain on the face.Only when our viscera are functioning normally, and our qi and blood are vigorous, will youth last forever.Therefore, freckle removal should start with nourishing viscera, dredging meridians, and regulating qi and blood. This is the fundamental method for freckle removal.

Chinese medicine also believes that no matter what type of pigmentation, it is inseparable from the treatment principle of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.So, how do we deal with these spots that affect our appearance in life?Massage can help you lighten the spots. If you have red and white sweat spots, you can massage the Xiabai point on the lung meridian. The Xiabai point is on the inner side of the arm, 5 inches above the elbow crease, and in the depression on the radial side of the biceps brachii.If you have freckles, you can massage Xuehai point.As the name suggests, the Xuehai Point is the key point for generating blood and promoting blood circulation to remove stasis.How to select acupoints?Sit on a chair and straighten your legs. There will be a sunken place on the inner side of the knee, and above the sunken place there will be a raised muscle. If you touch this muscle, you will find this acupuncture point at the top.Persist in rubbing the Xuehai points on both sides for 3 minutes every day. The strength should not be too large. You can feel the soreness and swelling at the points, and the principle should be gentle.In addition, female friends often massage the Xuehai point, which can also relieve symptoms such as irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, and leukorrhea.It can be said that one hole is multi-purpose!Many women are under a lot of work pressure, feel depressed, and feel that the breath in the chest is not smooth. At this time, spots will appear on the face. This is mostly caused by stagnation of liver depression and qi caused by liver failure.Qi is the commander of blood, and it is the driving force to promote blood flow. If the qi does not go away, the blood will naturally not go.

Just like when a river slows down, there will be more silt, and when the blood flows slowly, spots of pigmentation will appear on the face.At this time, the best way is to massage the famous Taichong acupoint, which can be pressed with fingers or blunt things.If you can cooperate with Hegu acupoint again, the suffocation will go out soon.When the Qi is smooth, the blood naturally flows faster, and the pigmentation on the face will be lightened.Food can also help you remove freckles. You can drink a glass of tomato juice or eat more tomatoes every day to prevent freckles; you can also mix tomato juice with an appropriate amount of honey and a little flour to make a paste and apply it on the face for 20-30 minutes.You can drink roses in water at ordinary times, or put some petals in when cooking porridge, because roses can promote blood circulation and disperse stasis, soothe the liver and relieve depression.Cook soup with black fungus and red dates, once every morning and after dinner.It also has the effect of rejuvenating the skin and removing freckles, and strengthening the muscles. ?Warm reminder to benefit a lifetime: In life, some female friends aged 30-40 suddenly develop a lot of age spots on their faces. Some people may think that it is caused by too much sun exposure, or irregular sleep and diet.In fact, this idea is wrong.Generally speaking, the sudden appearance of spots on the face is not only due to skin aging, but also may be an early warning signal of gynecological diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease, mastitis, breast hyperplasia, and cervicitis.Therefore, once you suddenly have spots on your face, you must pay enough attention and seek medical attention in time to prevent lesions.
