TCM Dermatology - A holistic approach to the treatment of eczema or acne.

Beautiful, radiant and flawless skin is associated with health and vitality. Patients with chronic skin conditions suffer not only physically, but also emotionally and socially, and it can be frustrating to find effective and sustainable treatment approaches. Sleep problems due to persistent itching or burning of the skin are common and it is not uncommon for sufferers to suffer from depressive episodes because they feel uncomfortable in their skin or the inflammatory processes as stressors weaken the body.

Dermatology is a recognized specialty of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and has a long history. Chinese herbal medicine plays a central role in restoring the normal, healthy function of the skin. Complementary and supportive treatments include acupuncture, nutritional adjustments or external applications of herbs in the form of tinctures or creams.
