Clear Skin Without Dangerous Topical Ointments

Sharon’s severe reaction to Splenda

Very often allergic reactions to everything from familiar household items,  environmental toxins, and prescription medications to the food we eat and the air we breathe, can cause severe skin problems.

We developed our signature facial, called QiGlow, as an effective treatment for complexion problems that have been irresolvable with western treatments.

Sharon, pictured here, at first noticed small pimples that she attributed to her menstrual cycle and hormone changes.  After a few months, the small pimples became larger and redder.  And a few months after that they were huge, angry looking deep pimples that were painful to the touch.

Sharon was beside herself and the stress was piled on because she had her own business as a beauty consultant for a cosmetic company.

Naturally, she started with her own products as well as over the counter astringents, acne creams, and every cosmetic skin treatment ointment and potion she could find.  And, her makeup drawer became a treasure trove of creamy  coverups in every shade and thickness.

None of it worked.

After a lot of tears, extreme anxiety, untold moments of embarrassment, and hours and hours of retracing the steps of her life back in time trying to figure out what caused her skin to erupt so viciously, Sharon tracked her severe lesions to an allergic reaction to Splenda sweetened drinks.

She came to HBC to see if we could help her fix the problem from the inside and from the outside, with acupuncture and herbs, so that she wouldn’t make matters worse by trying another prescription medication or another over-the-counter cream.

QiGlow treatments provided results, as you can see!

When all other treatments have failed to provide help for a skin problem whether it’s  adult acne, rosacea, skin pigmentation problems, eczema, or something that hasn’t been named yet,  acupuncture treatments and the topical potions created from natural products and enhanced with Chinese herbs can be the clarion call in answer to skin that heals beautifully and without residual scarring.
