1. The magical "Youth Cream" that can remove wrinkles
"Lu Mansion Forbidden Recipes", also known as "Lu Mansion Secret Recipes", was compiled by Gong Tingxian, a clinical physician of the Ming Dynasty who served as an official in the Imperial Medical Academy. He was praised by the King of Lu as the "leader of all doctors in the world". The book records a large number of prescriptions in various fields such as internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, ophthalmology, etc. It has extremely high practical value in clinical practice. It also includes some medical theories and practical health preservation content, and gathers many secret recipes and techniques from all over the world. There are various beauty methods, dietary therapies, from internal use to external use, all of which can be found. The "Sun Xian Youth Cream" that can remove wrinkles is one of the many beauty methods.
The "Sun Xian Youth Cream" contains three ingredients: Tu Guagen, Huang Bo, and Chinese jujube. Among them, Huang Bo is a traditional Chinese medicine, which is the bark of the huangpi tree of the Rutaceae family. After peeling off the rough bark of the huangpi tree and drying it, it becomes huangbo. Huangbo has the effects of clearing heat and dampness, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, purging fire and detoxification, etc. Modern pharmaceutical research has found that when mixed with vitamins and other nutrients and added to skincare products, huangbo can effectively promote skin exfoliation, keep the skin moisturized and smooth, and prevent wrinkles and aging.
Tu Guagen, also known as Chayote, has curly tendrils like grape vines. Its fruits are red and yellow, elliptical in shape, but we usually use its roots, so it is called Tu Guagen. Tu Guagen contains a variety of components, such as abundant amino acids, fatty acids, carotenoids, etc. It has the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, promoting blood circulation, and eliminating facial black spots. It has a good effect in treating acne and acne scars.
Chinese jujube is well-known and is an excellent beauty and skincare product for women. It can nourish blood and calm the mind, tonify the middle, benefit qi, and nourish the spleen and stomach.
The combination of these three medicines not only clears heat and eliminates stasis but also has excellent effects in preventing aging, removing wrinkles, and moisturizing and nourishing the skin.
Recipe for Youth Cream:
Take 30 grams of Huang Bo, 90 grams of Tu Guagen, and 7 Chinese jujubes. Grind them together into a powder, mix with warm water in the morning and evening to form a paste, and use it as a facial cleanser. Apply twice a day for excellent skin rejuvenating effects. The original book states that using this recipe for facial cleansing can make one look like a young girl in just over ten days, hence the name "Youth Cream".
