Encircling Glory: Cosmetic facial and body acupuncture and body
Encircling glory from within combines the best of ancient medicine with modern technology and therapeutic techniques to enhance health and beauty from the inside out. Body acupuncture addresses the internal causes of ageing and organ imbalances, which often appear on the face. Facial acupuncture also treats these concerns and has the added benefits of softening expression lines, reducing inflammation and fluid storage, increasing blood flow and brightness, and stimulating collagen growth and cell renewal.
The Alchemy of Facial Renewal
What better metaphor for the process of renewal at the core of the treatment protocols of facial acupuncture?
An alchemical approach to facial renewal not only engages patients at a deeper level but also honours the transformative potential of that wondrous organ that not only harbours a chronicle of our lives and a testament to our joys and triumphs but also provides us with the key to an authentic process of physical and spiritual renewal.
The Chinese alchemist viewed the body itself both as raw material and the vessel of its redemption. Therefore, by incorporating these two approaches, the alchemical model of facial acupuncture embraces and encourages the transformation of the patient.
According to LiveScience, “acupuncture is linked to the belief that disease is caused by disruptions to the flow of energy, or qi, in the body. Acupuncture stimulates points on or under the skin… releasing this qi. The qi then travels through channels called meridians.”
Another modern hypothesis is that acupuncture creates superficial “micro-traumas” that stimulate blood flow, which delivers much-needed oxygen and nutrients to enhance the body’s natural healing abilities.
“cosmetic acupuncture” can also fight acne and reduce signs of ageing.
