Over the centuries, Chinese medicine has been used to enhance beauty. Currently, Chinese aesthetic medicine is sought after as a way to promote a holistic approach to wellness. In the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon, Huang Di Nei Jing 黃帝內經, the first question posed asks why people no longer live as long as they did in the past. This text, written more than 2500 years ago, provides the answer. The concept of Nourishing Life, Yang Sheng 養生 lays out a way to promote health, vitality, and longevity by aligning the body, mind, and spirit with nature's rhythms and is the basis of Chinese aesthetic medicine. We will cover the background to this practice and give some practical advice to incorporate into one’s life.
