TCM Dermatology

Skin-related issues can be a real nuisance and may affect your confidence in social settings. Skin being the body’s largest and most visible organ, is closely related to the Lung and problems usually arise from various internal imbalances. These imbalances are often due to toxin build up, Lung heat, Stomach heat, heat in the Blood, Blood or Yin deficiency.

TCM treatments target the underlying issues to clear up the surface manifestations and aim to balance any disharmony in the body. Some skin conditions that can be improved with TCM treatments include:

  • Acne
  • Eczema
  • Psoriasis
  • Hives
  • Sores
