Since the olden times, the concept of beauty has varied from generation to generation and from country to country. While women with long necks are considered beautiful in some countries, there was a time when plump and voluptuous women were regarded as attractive. Today, slender women are considered gorgeous. It is sometimes sad to see young women going to great lengths just to get the slim figure they have always wanted. They are too engrossed in exercise and diet that they forget one essential condition to beauty: healthy skin.

Skin as white, clear, clean, elastic, and smooth as that of babies sitting for the picture-taking for their first birthdays is considered beautiful and healthy. What the saying “beauty is only skin deep"means is that good look does not go beyond one's thin skin. However, this could also mean that beauty is in fact based on healthy skin. . Guided by the principle “healthy skin is a condition to beauty,” let us try to find a way of keeping our skin healthy.

Healthy skin primarily requires energyof the lungs.During my university years as an oriental medicine major, I heard that the "lungs supervise the skin" and the "lungs are brother organs of the colon", and felt at a loss.

When the professor explained the above two principles to me, Igot confused at first. In the course of accumulating clinical experience, however, I came to realize that the skin, lungs, and colon collectively work to discharge waste matter, with the lungs playing the central role. Eventually, I became convinced that waste matter could be discharged completely through actively functioning lungs; thus resulting in healthy and beautiful skin,

The air inhaled through the nose supplies energy including oxygen in the lungs and receives waste matter from the blood to discharge to outside of the body through the lungs. Part of the waste matter are discharged through the skin. On the other hand, food ingested through the mouth is digested and absorbed while passing through the stomach and small intestines and the remaining waste matter are excreted through the colon.

Therefore, it is only logical to consider the lungs and colon as brother organs Particularly, since all living creatures were born with the premise that they maintain contact with the atmosphere, e actively functioning lungs are the shortcut to health.

Taking Pyunkangtang regularly enhances breathing capacity . This results in healthy tonsils and prevents not only colds but tonsillitis as well.

This means that the activated lymph gland is performing its task well. The full transmission of the atmosphere’s energy into the blood through the function of the lungs is another contributing factor. Healthy and clean bloodstream brings out skin’s natural beauty imbued with ruddy complexion and luster.
In addition, healthy blood circulation helps get rid of facial problems such as pimples and discoloration; thus making skin beautiful. Indeed, healthy tonsils are the secret to flawlessly beautiful skin.
