Peach gum gains popularity for stress relief and anti-aging benefits in skincare

Peach gum, a resin used in traditional Chinese medicine, is gaining popularity for its health benefits, including stress relief and anti-aging properties. It is now featured in skincare products due to its ability to boost collagen production. This amber-colored resin, derived from peach trees, has been used for centuries to treat various ailments. Recent studies suggest it may also help protect skin from UV damage and improve gut health, among other benefits. Preparation of peach gum is simple. After soaking the dried resin in water for up to 24 hours, it becomes a jelly-like texture. It can be used in desserts or added to smoothies for a modern twist.
