Still – it is a philosophy, because it covers the principles and ethics of fate.
The healing power of plants has been known since ancient times. The world of plants – the greatest miracle of nature and the realm of beauty. Each plant is a kind of plant, in which the synthesis takes place of a wide variety of rare and useful for the human body substances. Plants are living organisms that have a strong energy. They do not only delight us with a variety of colors – but they can do wonders. People have long noticed that everything that grows in nature has amazing and mysterious healing properties.

Doctors of ancient China believed that the skin is the “mirror of the soul” and that it reflects the harmony between the two universal principles – Yin and Yang existing within the human soul. “Outer beauty is born of inner beauty” – a fundamental principle of Chinese philosophy, according to which some plants exhibit the essence in Yang. Plants, reflecting the nature “Yang” are carriers of energy, they stimulate cell regeneration, have rejuvenating properties and prevent wrinkles. Plants that reflect this essence, restore the lipid barrier of the skin and make it more elastic. The use of cosmetic products containing ingredients “Yang” have a great effect on restoring the skin. For example, “Yang” energy saturates the skin with youth and beauty, its components are ginger and ginseng.
