Chen Junru from Taiwan Jinghe Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Clinic shared the 10-day experience that helped her father remove a large age spot on his face. Ms. Chen said her nearly 80-year-old father has a habit of exercising outside, but he never likes to put on sunscreen. Over time, he’s developed several different-sized age spots.

Chinese trade restrictions have affected Japanese seafood exporters since even before the release began, with shipments held up at Chinese customs for weeks. Prices of scallops, sea cucumbers, and other seafood popular in China have plunged. The ban has affected prices and sales of seafood from places as far away from Fukushima as the northern island of Hokkaido, home to many scallop growers....
