Are you on aneternal hunt for a “miracle product” that will magically give you a face lift, erase your wrinkles, and clear your skin? What if I were to tell you the secret was in a little jade or rose quartz tool that you gently scrape against your face every day? Yep, beauties, #facialguasha is one of my secrets for a contured, mostly wrinkle free 40's based on an "Ancient Chinese Secret". Seriously though, #guasha used on the face can help you beat those puffy eyes or bloated cheeks, chisel your jaw, and might even be an alternative to Botox! Facial Gua Sha is an ancient scraping massage technique developed by Traditional Chinese Medicine. It began as a treatment done solely on the body to improve blood circulation, move lymphatic stagnation and release muscle tension. Over time, a much gentler version was created for the face that involves a light gliding motion to tone, lift, and smooth the skin. The aim is to de-puff the face by facilitating lymphatic drainage into the neck and bring fresh blood & nutrients to the skin for that healthy glow. There are so many other benefits to this ritual.

Everything in the universe has a pulsating current. This current creates life. Chi is the energy of life. All living things are filled with chi. It permeates every existence and flows through everything and everybody. It is the most powerful and wonderful force in the universe. It has no shape and cannot be divided. Chi flows incessantly and forms energy patterns. It is in constant communication with its environment. This vital archaic power is manifested in various ways and is involved in the creation of life. It is the breath of the universe. Every planet, every star, and thus also planet earth possesses its own individual energy. Man is filled with this energy and receives vitality from it. When the body is filled with chi, the being is healthy. When the chi is imbalanced, this manifests itself in an illness in the respective part of the body. This knowledge is the basis of Chinese medicine and acupuncture.” . Although ‘Reflexology��� is a relatively new term in essence I believe it has been practiced for millennia on various parts of the body. Dien Chan Zone originally comes from Vietnam and has been developed with profound attention to the intricacies of TCM in it’s various expressions. So it has grown always with ancient wisdom which interpreted long before modern science that Life is above all a matter of energy. . Our emphasis on #selfcare allows us to introduce our receivers to vibrational medicine using their own hands with the simplest of instructions. This way they too are invited to explore how the energies within and without us constantly communicate and seek harmony. . Because our bodies are a reflection of the entire universe, it‘s unavoidable that with great results come huge shifts in perception. Therein it is no coincidence that in an era of increasing consciousness and widening spiritual context Facial Reflexology should emerge as a medicinal practice. #facialrejuvenation #tcm #accupressure #guasha #facialmapping #antiaging #antiagingmedicine

Turmeric is a phenomenal antioxidant for clear glowing skin, a healthy liver, lymphatic and interstitial system and is even a pain reliever if you experience achy joints or pain points due to arthritis, autoimmune disorders or even fibromyalgia. These carrot, halloumi and buckwheat fritters with turmeric, chili flakes, cumin and coriander stalks help balance the hormones and blood sugar, quell inflammation, and delight the senses.

@kalumihealth has really hit my newest #beautyobsession out of the park with a protein bar that is actually edible.⠀ ⠀ Marine collagen-based (15 grams per serving) with sweet potato and yacon syrup (low glycemic, prebiotic, and metabolism boosting) it is a great snack in between meals, my go-to airplane and travel food, and is my greatest beauty secret at the moment.⠀ ⠀ While anyone that knows me knows that I am a big fan of @vitalproteins collagen peptides and collagen beauty water I like to mix it up and I adore this isn't just another thing to drink. ⠀ ⠀ I have a bar every day (and my current favorite is Sweetie Pie while I also love the Lemon bars and Cocoa Kiss) and my collagen mushroom adaptogen coffee!⠀ ⠀ REAL foods based, no nasties.... hair, nail and skin health loving... WIN WIN!
