Eczema

TCM views eczema as a result of internal imbalances, such as heat, dampness, or blood deficiency, affecting the skin. Rather than just focusing on the symptoms, TCM aims to restore balance in the body’s energy (Qi) through personalized treatments, including herbal medicine, acupuncture, and dietary adjustments. Herbal remedies in TCM help clear internal heat, nourish the skin, and improve circulation, providing long-term relief by addressing the root cause.

In contrast, Western medicine typically treats eczema with steroids, which reduce inflammation and offer quick symptom relief. However, steroids only manage symptoms and can lead to side effects like skin thinning with prolonged use. TCM’s holistic approach, focusing on internal balance, offers a safer and more sustainable solution for eczema without the risks associated with steroids.

Dermatitis

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treats dermatitis by addressing both symptoms and underlying imbalances. It views skin conditions as a reflection of internal disharmony, often caused by heat, dampness, or blood stagnation. Herbal medicine is used to clear heat, remove toxins, and nourish the skin. Acupuncture improves circulation and reduces inflammation, while dietary therapy helps balance the body. TCM also applies herbal washes, creams, or balms for soothing effects. By restoring internal balance, TCM aims to relieve itching, redness, and flare-ups, offering a natural and holistic approach to managing dermatitis.
