What are the methods for women to maintain health and beauty in Huangdi Neijing?

We know that in ancient times there were not as many cosmetics as there are today, nor were there any so-called beauty-enhancing drugs. So some people may ask, did women at that time not wear makeup? In fact, it is obvious that women at that time also wore makeup. In addition to rouge, there are other ways to protect the skin, especially some simple methods. Today I will tell you what methods the emperor’s inner circle women have to maintain their health and beauty?

The "Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor" says: "Since ancient times, those who are in touch with heaven have known the origin of life as being based on yin and yang." "Yin and yang are the ways of heaven and earth, the rules and regulations of all things, the parents of change, the origin of life and death, and the residence of gods." This means that the heavens, the earth, and all things in life are produced by yin and yang, and the changes of heaven and earth, changes in climate, and the growth of the human body are all caused by the changes of yin and yang.

Beauty is the goal that women pursue throughout their lives. How can one become more beautiful? All the beautiful girls have their own unique tricks. Some people use advanced artificial chemicals for beauty treatments, some spend a lot of money on photorejuvenation, some believe in hormone injections or even facelifts...but these can only achieve temporary, superficial beauty, and will return to their original state after a while. Because they overlook one thing: beauty comes from the inside out, not just on the surface. So, how can you be beautiful from the inside out? The answer can be found in four words: "balance of yin and yang." When it comes to the words yin and yang, most women probably don't understand them very well. In fact, yin and yang are everywhere in our lives. For example, during a day, daytime is yang and nighttime is yin. Only by allocating work and rest time reasonably can the human body be healthy: if you rest less at night, you will feel tired; conversely, if you rest too much at night, you will feel uncomfortable, and it will cause an imbalance of yin and yang, which may cause the body to be out of balance and cause disease.

(1) Rest: Getting enough sleep is the most basic way to regulate sub-health. Only good sleep can give our bodies the best rest and recuperation. Long-term lack of sleep will cause an imbalance of yin and yang, leading to sub-health. If you don’t get enough rest, you need to make up for it quickly.

(2) Adjust your mindset: Maintain a good mood and don’t be overly excited, nervous, or anxious.

(3) Exercise: Doing aerobic exercise every day will keep your body in the best condition. Female friends can do some yoga, practice some qigong, do some aerobics or jog at home.

This method emphasizes the balance of yin and yang, which is the way to maintain health. If you want to make yourself more beautiful and achieve the effect of beauty and beauty in normal life, you should maintain good habits in addition to the balance of yin and yang, so that we can achieve the effect of beauty and replenish minerals in the body in a healthy way.
