The Best Herbs for Radiant Skin and Slowing Down the Aging Process
Rosemarie Allen • June 3, 2025

Discover how herbal remedies, microcurrent facials, and acupuncture facial sculpting can rejuvenate your skin naturally.

At A Balanced You Acupuncture & Wellness Center, we believe that true beauty emanates from within. While our clients appreciate the immediate benefits of our microcurrent facials and acupuncture facial sculpting, we also emphasize the importance of internal nourishment through herbal remedies to promote lasting skin health.

Herbal Allies for Youthful Skin

1. Goji Berries (Lycium barbarum): Rich in antioxidants, goji berries combat oxidative stress, a primary contributor to skin aging. They support collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and reducing fine lines.

2. Schisandra (Schisandra chinensis): Known for its adaptogenic properties, Schisandra helps the body resist stress, which can accelerate aging. It also supports liver function, aiding in detoxification and promoting clear skin.

3. He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum): Traditionally used in Chinese medicine, He Shou Wu is believed to rejuvenate the skin and hair. It supports kidney and liver health, organs integral to detoxification and skin vitality.

4. Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra): This herb possesses anti-inflammatory and skin-brightening properties. It can help reduce hyperpigmentation and soothe irritated skin.

5. Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis): Often referred to as "female ginseng," Dang Gui promotes blood circulation and is rich in phytoestrogens, which can help maintain skin moisture and elasticity.

Integrating Herbal Remedies with Modern Treatments

Combining these herbal remedies with contemporary treatments can amplify their benefits:

Microcurrent Facials: This non-invasive treatment uses low-level electrical currents to stimulate facial muscles, enhancing skin tone and reducing wrinkles. It's often dubbed the "non-surgical facelift."  

Acupuncture Facial Sculpting: Rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, this technique involves inserting fine needles into specific facial points. It promotes collagen production, improves circulation, and enhances skin elasticity.
