Why I turned to traditional Chinese medicine to heal

Why I turned to traditional Chinese medicine to heal
After being prescribed steroid creams and immunosuppressants by GPs to no avail, Günseli Yalcinkaya decided to reframe her understanding of her body and health My first run-in with psoriasis was during my university finals, after I was 20. It’s not particularly surprising because stress is a major trigger for those with an underlying tendency towards the condition. (Together with cold weather, hot weather, dry weather, smoking, drinking, infections corresponding to strep throat and even certain medications.) However it wasn’t until last 12 months (after I was 26) that I had my first proper psoriasis flare-up. Appearing a few weeks after my second Covid vaccination – a incontrovertible fact that’s in a roundabout way correlated,...

4 artists redefining traditional henna body art

4 artists redefining traditional henna body art
Mriga, Ayqa Khan, Huq That, and Pavan Dhanjal share their personal connections to mehndi and the way they’re using it as a method of exciting creative expression Growing up, mehndi (also generally known as henna) was something I often saw as traditional and quite alluring due to its intricate process and design.

Aárd Is Keeping Traditional Aleppo Soap Alive – Setting

Aárd Is Keeping Traditional Aleppo Soap Alive – Setting
Aárd Founded by Martina Carlson and Pauline Norden, Stockholm-based Aárd was born out of a shared frustration with the ever-expanding list of products and convoluted routines dictated by the beauty industry. Their mission was clear: to simplify beauty and haircare while emphasizing transparency, effectiveness, and a minimalist approach. Inspired by Hammam: Where Beauty Meets Minimalism Aárd’s founders found inspiration within the elegant and thoughtful beauty rituals of Hammam, the general public bathing houses scattered across the Middle East. In these ancient sanctuaries, they found a profound contrast to the overwhelming product-driven beauty culture they sought to vary.
