Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Dermatology is a method of healing internal imbalances that lead to inflammation of the skin. With chronic inflammation there may also be other symptoms such as digestive irregularities, pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbance. TCM treats patterns of imbalance. While the herbal formulations are targeted to your skin condition, many times these other symptoms resolve as you heal.
Herbal formulas are custom blended for your specific needs. The formulas will be modified as your body heals, like peeling back layers of an onion. The time it takes to restore healthy skin varies based on how long someone has had a condition, severity, and exposure to triggers.
Common conditions treated include: acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, shingles, urticaria, as well as other inflammatory conditions.
The recommended form to take herbs is by decoction. The dispensary cooks the herbs and sends you vacuum sealed pouches to drink daily. The cost varies based on ingredients. Topical remedies may also be advised to enhance and support treatment from the outside-in.
Dermatological conditions can be uniquely stressful for some. Unlike conditions that are internal and hidden, the visibility of skin conditions may be painful mentally and emotionally as well as physically. If someone is feeling self-conscious it prevents them from fully engaging with their environment leading to a feeling of isolation. My goal is to restore healthy skin so herbal therapy is no longer needed, and you feel at ease in your own body again.
