How to keep your skin moisturized even in the coldest and driest months of the year:
Keeping your skin moisturized is one of the most important thing. A hydrated and well-fed skin with minerals is able to maintain its elasticity and youthfulness.
First and most important rule is that your skin health does not start with your day and night creams, anti-aging creams and correctors. It all starts within your body, therefore the most important thing is to drink plenty of water on a daily basis. Secondly, exercising, running, doing yoga and any other (outdoor) sports will also contribute to your healthy skin texture. Exercising promotes your body's circulation, and by increasing your blood flow exercise will nourish your skin cells and keep them vital. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to working cells throughout the body, including the skin.
It is a well known fact that our skin textures also reflect the condition of our inner body parts. Therefore if you have a problematic skin you can assume that your body is trying to signal you that something is problematic inside you. You do not have to think about serious problems, but it would be a considerable idea to visit a bio-resonance doctor who could give you feedback on the conditions of your inner body parts. The reason of your problematic skin could easily be intolerance against a type of food (for example sugar or gluten) or accumulated toxins that require detoxification. For me the best ways for detoxification were, leaving every kind of meat out of my diet for a two weeks period and substituting it with fresh vegetables, like tomato, spinach, radish, different types of cabbage, broccoli and others. Avoiding processed food and those that contain plenty of preservatives. Drinking naturally detoxifying tea is also a plus. You should be also careful with milk and dairy products since many of us cannot fully digest large amount of lactose.
Taking the right amount of vitamins is also needed for a healthy skin. Lack of magnesium, calcium, natrium, A, B, C, D and E vitamins could also affect the look of your skin.
Using natural skin masks can also improve your skin look. One of my favourite for winter time: Mix honey, a pinch of olive oil and coconut oil and apply it on your face. After 10-15 minutes wash it off, the result will be a glowy, smooth and soft skin with a healthy colour.
Useful exercise against dark circles under your eyes
Massage those points regularly to get rid of dark circles, under eye bags and wrinkles.
Acupuncture
There's no doubt on that Chinese medication is world famous. I happened to experience it during my year in Shanghai. At the beginning I was quite worried about being sick on the other side of the globe, without my mum's healing soup, medicine and loving care. But after having the first experience my doubts vanished immidiately. I would even say that thanks to Chinese medication methods and medicines I recovered faster than ever.
Chinese believe that the body's vital energy circulates through channels, called the meridians, that have branches connected to bodily organs and functions. Illness is attributed to imbalance or interruption of the chi, the flow of the body's vital energy. Through acupuncture treatment the interruption can be restored.
Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning. This is done by inserting needles and applying heat or electrical stimulation at very precise acupuncture points.
Photos about the meridians:
By having the meridians in our body and the body's flowing energy, it is also possible to heal the body simply by massaging certain points that are connected to meridians. In Asia you can always go for a refreshing foot massage, which can be quite painful in the end. From the painful point the masseur can immidiately tell which inner part of your body does not function properly.
Accordingly the face also shows a lot not just about your mood and inner peace, but also about your health.
The modern scientific explanation for acupuncture is that stimulating the acupuncture points the nervous system receives messeges to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals either change the experience of pain, or they are releasing other chemicals and hormones that influence the body's own internal regulating system. By a bit of stimulation and intervention on special points the body heals itself.
Your health is your wealth <3

VITAMIN C
Alternative name: L-ascorbic acid
As a medical student, I felt the need of sharing some knowledge I have been learning in medical school and hopefully would be of great help to our readers. So I decided to start writing about supplements that you can all start to consider taking seriously since we basically need them, starting with the most famous vitamin..The letter C.
We, humans usually obtain it from the intake of fruits and vegetables. Though for some people who couldn’t maintain the daily recommended amount of vitamin C just by eating fruits and vegetables, you might as well consider taking a daily supplement of the vitamin because honestly in the long run, you really do need it.
This is a photo of my recent purchase in a supermarket in Shanghai.
THERAPEUTIC USES
Vitamin C is a major antioxidant. It is needed for the development and function of many body parts and maintaining proper immune function in fighting against infections. It has been proven to increase the absorption of iron from foods and correcting a protein imbalance in certain newborns called tyrosinemia.

It has been proven to increase the absorption of iron from foods and correcting a protein imbalance in certain newborns called tyrosinemia.
It is basically a cofactor in a series of enzymatic reactions in our body including collagen synthesis, that when lacking causes a disease called Scurvy. Scurvy is a disease following a deficiency in Vitamin C leading to the formation of brown spots in the skin, spongy gums and bleeding. The spots are most abundant in thighs and legs. The person would usually look pale, depressed and immobilized with a visible loss of teeth that due to the advancing signs and symptoms of the disease could eventually cause death. The timeframe for the onset of signs and symptoms for an adult would be around one month or more than six months depending on a previous load of the vitamin.
In addition, it has been studied to help in the development and maintenance of scar tissue, blood vessels, and cartilage.
Vitamin C has been proven to be a natural antihistamine(anti-allergy), preventing both the release of histamine and increases its detoxification. 90 milligrams per day and no more than 2 grams (2,000 milligrams) per day would be effective.
It has been used for glaucoma, cataract prevention and gallbladder disease, dental cavities (caries), constipation, Lyme disease, heat stroke, hay fever, asthma, bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, infertility, diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), autism, collagen disorders,arthritis and bursitis, back pain and disc swelling, cancer, and osteoporosis.
Research were done in proving its use for hardening the arteries, preventing clots in veins and arteries, heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.

Vitamin C is water soluble; with dietary excess not absorbed, and excess in the blood rapidly excreted in the urine. It exhibits very low toxicity.
A person might experience diarrhea as a result of the osmotic water-retaining effect of the unabsorbed portion in the gastrointestinal tract (small intestine).
Indigestion on an empty stomach can also be experienced.
