Skin Diseases

 

Our therapists treat skin diseases with acupuncture and/or Traditional Chinese Medicine (chiness herbs).

 

• Chinese medicine Vs Western medicine for skin disease

​

Western medicine treats skin diseases with hormones, and it is effective in a short period of time. However, hormones are harmful to the body and skin diseases will reoccur if hormones are withdrawn.

 

​In Chinese medicine, skin diseases are divided into the following types: blood heat, blood dryness, blood stasis, damp-heat and toxic heat. Depending on the type of skin diseases you suffer, the treatment principle may be different: clearing away heat and cooling blood; tonifying blood and moistening dryness; promoting blood circulation and remove blood stasis; or transform dampness and release toxin, etc.

 

Chinese medicine can treat skin diseases with different kind of techniques: acupuncture, Chinese herbs, external application of Chinese Herbal Medicine etc.

 

The effectiveness of Chinese medicine may be slower than Western medicine. Since there is no application of hormones, the diseases could be cured and will not occur again if treated properly.
