Skincare Beauty and Holistic Wellness with TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine)

The interview with Ervina Wu, co-founder and CEO of Yina, a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) skincare and wellness brand, provides a deep dive into her personal and professional journey, emphasizing the holistic philosophy of TCM. Ervina shares how her experience as a cancer survivor showcased TCM's power in restoring her appetite and energy, treating her as a whole person rather than just a diagnosis. The conversation highlights Yina's unique approach, which combines ancient TCM formulas with modern science to create products that benefit both the body and mind. Key products discussed include the Lumi Drops, a best-selling collagen gummies for hair health based on an ancient formula, incorporating a synergy of herbs like Fo-Ti with modern ingredients like collagen and biotin. Additionally, the interview features the Bio-cellulose Mask, made from a material used in hospitals for burn victims, infused with ginseng and peptides for hydration and healing, and the bian stone gua sha tool, a "cosmic stone" that predates acupuncture and emits ultrasonic pulses, designed for both facial and body circulation and lymphatic drainage. Ervina underscores the importance of ritual and consistent self-care in aging gracefully, embracing menopause as a "second spring," aligning with TCM's preventative care philosophy.
