Facial Rejuvenation sessions are full body acupuncture treatments that also include extra work on the face, including cupping, jade rolling, guasha, and tuina depending on your individual pattern of imbalance and what you need. Lindsey takes into consideration your TCM diagnosis and these sessions are whole body, holistic treatments, leaving you feeling ultra relaxed.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the skin is related to the TCM organ Lung, or in other words, the Lung controls and regulates the skin. This is the Metal element. You know you have a Metal imbalance if you are experiencing:
- Shortness of breath, respiratory allergies, or skin problems
- Dry skin and mucus membranes
- Frequent illness and/or lingering illness
- Excessive grief and melancholy
- Disorganized, unable to keep commitments, sedentary
- Your symptoms are worse in the Autumn or dry climates
A balanced Metal element looks like this:
- Balanced attachment, knowing when to hold on and when to let go
- Moist, supple skin and mucus membranes
- Strong immune system, recovering from illness quickly
- Strong lungs and voice
- Grieves deeply and completely before letting go
- Reflects inwardly; inspired by beauty in many forms
- Strong, discriminating, principled, living by inner values
The lungs are about inhalation and exhalation. We need to breath life into our very being, but also exhale and clear what no longer serves us. The challenge of the Metal phase is to open to inspiration and harvest what is valuable in our lives and let go of what no longer furthers your growth. It is also about the ability to develop the strength to grieve loss. If you are feeling like you may be out of imbalance in the Metal element, acupuncture can help. Also, follow these basic guidelines to help balance Metal:
- Eat cooked, warm, moisture filled vegetables, soups, and stews
- Moisten the diet by cooking with coconut oil or ghee
- Get exercise in the fresh air
- Get enough rest
- Run a humidifier to keep airways moist
- Avoid cold drinks, cold and raw foods, sugary, dairy, and unsprouted or unfermented wheat
- Use journaling to explore memories, feelings, and thoughts
