Patient's question:
To all medical professionals, may I ask if semen can be used to clean the face? Can it be used as a face mask? How is it traditionally done? Please advise.Additionally, may I inquire if using vitamin E to clean the face is effective? My friend uses it at night to clean her face and says it works well. What else can be consumed to promote blood circulation?
Doctor's answer:
??????No. Semen contains amino acids and proteins, which are indeed nutritional components, but the amount is not more than that of a single egg, let alone can it benefit beauty or skin health. Therefore, women do not need to endure the odor and swallow semen.As for the TCM concepts of "harvesting yang to nourish yin" or "harvesting yin to nourish yang," they are unreasonable. If they were valid, they would only refer to the positive energy derived from sexual pleasure between the two genders. It is worth noting that some viruses can be transmitted through semen. In such cases, consuming semen would be an unwise decision.
