Beauty is a reflection of optimal health and an intrinsic part of our being.

Beauty is balanced, healthy, vibrant, alive, and undeniable.

On the face, beauty can be described as smooth, dewy, plump and rosy. But, according to Chinese definition of beauty, it does not end there. While beauty in Western terms is defined only exteriorly and based on current styles or trends, Chinese medicine looks at beauty a little differently. Expression, speech, demeanor, emotions, and posture all reflect internal conditions of corresponding meridians. 

A rosy face reflects healthy Spleen, Stomach, and Heart meridian function, as they are each responsible for the creation and quality of the blood. The Lungs are reflected in the condition of the skin (smooth, dry, dewy) while the Liver meridian is reflected in the eyes and forehead; imbalance of Liver can show up as wrinkles. Strong Kidney function is reflected in the posture/overall qi, and the hair. If the person has a full head of black hair into an advanced age, it is likely that he or she has strong Kidney function. If the person is balding has thin or gray hair, it is likely the person has deficient Kidney Jing.

A healthy body contains a balanced amount of Yin (cold,wet, static) and Yang (hot, dry, active) as each is an opposing force that supports the life of the other. Therefore, the body must maintain a balanced amount of Yin and Yang in order for conditions to support life in a beautiful and harmonious way. In the creation of beauty one should consider cultivating correct speech, thinking, and behavior so as to create harmonious relationships. This, in turn, creates peace, which is important for the smooth flow of qi and blood.
