  • Can acupuncture help with aging skin?

    Aging is a normal process of life. Over time, the skin changes in composition due to a reduction of proteins responsible for its elasticity. Acupuncture provides an increase of blood flow bringing collagen and other proteins to help regenerate the tissues. Oriental medicine as a whole can help balance the human body to slow down the aging process. Alexandre Hillairet, DAOM. READ MORE
