In a condition where long term use of western medicines such as antibiotics, steroids or

other drugs may not be appropriate, our holistic medicine can often provide an

excellent alternative.

Chinese herbal medicine has a strong history in the treatment of skin disorders. From

acne, eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo, or rosacea, we have seen good results in many cases.

Medication tends to involve local or systemic anti-inflammatories which aid in acute flare-ups

but do not prevent recurrence of lesions. The body often becomes less and less responsive to

drug treatment of this kind.

Chinese medicine views eczema as heat drying the body’s normal cooling and soothing

mechanisms. Acupuncture and herbal medicines work to cool the body and soothe the tissues

locally in order to treat acute flare-ups as well as provide long-term improvement in the condition.
