In an April 2021 interview with Women's Health, Lucy Liu revealed that she regularly sees an acupuncturist, in addition to practicing transcendental meditation. Her philosophy is that it's equally important to work on your inside as well as outside, and strengthen your relationship with your body. This ideal and mindset isn't far off. Healthline lists reduced migraines, hypertension, and chronic pain as the possible benefits of acupuncture.
There are also claims that acupuncture has anti-aging properties. For younger-looking skin, Dr. Tsagaris told Harper's Bazaar that beauty acupuncture is a great alternative to Botox. "The skin is the largest organ in the body," he explained. "External signs of ageing may just be a reflection of an internal problem, such as a hormonal imbalance. Acupuncture is designed to address the cause of the problem as well as the symptoms."
Per Style Caster, Liu also attributes her glowing, flawless complexion and weight loss to acupuncture. "It can help you lose weight, it can help your skin stay young," she explained. The "Shazam! Fury of the Gods" star tried veganism for a year, before switching to vegetarianism at her acupuncturist's recommendation (via Women's Health). She began incorporating more eggs into her diet, which Insider suggests is great for boosting your metabolism.
