Keeping skin
well-nourished is critical in any skincare regime. The following is a Chinese herbal blend that
is used for anti-aging purpose. The blend is known as Qi Gui Blend.
Ingredients:
Huang Qi powder (60g), Dang Qui powder (20g);
Instruction:
Mix the powders together. Take 3g of the
mixture twice a day.
I have
discussed both herbs in this blend, Huang Qi and Dang Gui, in my previous
posts. Just to recap here: Huang Qi
(Astragalus Membranaceus) is an important anti-aging herb often used in Chinese
medicine. As discussed in my past post, Huang
Qi contains anti-oxidants such as flavonoids, polysacchsarides, amino acids,
trace minerals and triterpene glycosides such as the astragalosides I-VII. Modern
pharmacology study suggested that Huang Qi boots immune system, suppress
cancer, promote wound healing, and anti-aging.
Dang gui (Angelica
root) is known as the “women's ginseng.” Dang gui is one of the most widely used Chinese herbs. The herb contains anti-oxidants (Phenols),
organic acids, Vitamins, essential oils, and trace elements. The herb is known to stimulate blood circulation
to the skin.
Thanks for
