The Lung Meridian: Your Skin’s Hidden Superpower in TCM

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the secret to glowing, resilient skin doesn’t start with serums—it starts within your body’s meridian system. Among these energy pathways, the Lung Meridian holds a unique role: it’s the guardian of your skin.

At Redmint, we believe in honoring the connection between internal balance and external beauty. That’s why our acupuncture and skincare rituals often begin by supporting the Lung Meridian.

🌬️ What Is the Lung Meridian?

The Lung Meridian is an energetic channel in TCM that starts in the chest, runs along the inner arm, and ends at the thumb. While the physical lungs manage breath, the Lung Meridian governs skin health, immunity, and emotional balance.

It’s one of the 12 primary meridians that circulate Qi (vital energy) and support the body’s natural harmony. Think of it as an energetic bridge between your lungs and your skin.

✨ How the Lung Meridian Impacts Your Skin

According to TCM, “The Lung governs the skin and body hair.” When this meridian is balanced and flowing freely, your skin reflects it through:

  • Hydration and elasticity

  • Even tone and natural glow

  • Resistance to environmental stressors like dryness and pollution

  • Faster healing from breakouts or inflammation

But when the Lung Meridian is blocked or weak, you may experience:

  • Dry, flaky, or sensitive skin

  • Acne, eczema, or dull complexion

  • Poor immune function

  • Signs of emotional stress reflected on the skin

🌿 How Redmint Supports the Lung Meridian

Our acupuncture practitioners are trained to activate specific points along the Lung Meridian to restore balance, increase circulation, and support your skin from the inside out. Combined with herbal therapies and holistic facials, this approach delivers both visible and lasting results.

Some key Lung Meridian points used in our treatments:

  • LU1 (Zhongfu) – Clears heat and opens the chest

  • LU7 (Lieque) – Strengthens immunity and regulates pores

  • LU9 (Taiyuan) – Nourishes the skin and boosts lung Qi

💆♀️ Acupuncture for Beauty—Beyond the Surface

When you receive acupuncture that targets the Lung Meridian, you’re not just treating symptoms. You’re helping your body:

  • Circulate nourishing Qi and fluids

  • Reduce internal inflammation

  • Release emotional tension stored in the chest

  • Support deep, cellular skin repair

This is where TCM beauty begins: with balance, harmony, and vitality flowing through every layer of your being.
