      Old age and sexual decline are words that no woman likes to hear and is a fact that she doesn’t want to accept, but time is like a butcher’s knife that will constantly take away your youth and appearance. Anti-aging has become the primary issue for both men and women. Men are better off, especially women. They keep buying bottle after bottle of anti-aging cosmetics. In fact, the anti-aging effect of acupuncture is very good, but you have to endure a little discomfort. How does acupuncture achieve anti-aging? Let’s take a look at the breadth and depth of traditional Chinese medicine.

      Acupoint selection:

      Commonly used points: health and longevity points.

      Spare points: Baihui, Zhongwan, Guanyuan, Zhongji, Shuidao, Neiguan, Zusanli, Sanyinjiao, Dazhui, Taodao, Xinshu, Geshu, Ganshu, , Shenshu.

      The location of the health and longevity point: at the upper end of the philtrum groove under the nose.

      operate:

      Mainly use commonly used acupoints, and select 3-4 spare acupoints. The acupoints can be used in rotation. At the commonly used points, use a No. 28 1-inch short filiform needle to prick diagonally toward the nasal septum and twist it quickly to produce a strong sense of soreness and swelling. Conventional acupuncture was performed on other acupuncture points. After inserting a 28-gauge 1.5-inch filiform needle to gain qi, use a small amount of lifting, insertion and twisting. The needle was retained for 15 to 20 minutes. Once every other day, 20 times constitute a course of treatment. From the second course of treatment, the treatment is given twice a week, and then gradually reduced to once a week. Acupuncture can be continued for about half a year.

      Effect:

      Criteria for judging efficacy: Markedly effective: symptoms disappear completely, sleep is good, appetite is acceptable, body is strong, brain function is good, and energy is abundant; Progress: symptoms basically disappear, sleep is good, appetite is good, physical strength is significantly enhanced, and brain function is good.

      Things to note:

      (1) The Healthy and Longevity point is a new point, but the location of this point is not very clear; there are too many points, so they are recorded for clinical reference.

      (2) The needle sensation is strong when acupuncture at the main point, so it is not suitable for those with physical weakness.

      (3) Back and abdominal points, especially the back points, be careful not to penetrate deeply to avoid accidents.

      Acupuncture anti-aging is a healthy anti-aging method that women can choose. Relatively speaking, acupuncture anti-aging is not as harmful to the skin as cosmetics and it acts directly on the skin. Acupuncture anti-aging relies on the proof of time, so you cannot do acupuncture anti-aging for the efficacy, otherwise you will be disappointed.
