Abstract

According to the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) tenet that "internal imbalances manifest externally," skin aging reflects deficiencies in qi, blood, and organ systems-particularly the liver and kidneys. Tonifying Traditional Chinese Medicines (TTCM) address these root causes, nourishing the skin and delaying aging through internal regulation, as documented in classical texts including the Shennong Ben Cao Jing and the Compendium of Materia Medica.
