TCM Skin Care
Acne · Eczema · Sensitive Skin
Skin conditions often reflect internal imbalance. TCM addresses constitutional patterns from within, which may help improve skin health without sole reliance on steroids. Results vary.
Scope of Care
Common Skin Conditions
TCM differentiates causes such as lung heat, stomach fire and phlegm-dampness. Clearing-heat and spleen-stomach regulating herbs, with detox-supporting acupuncture, may help reduce breakouts and improve pores and post-acne marks. Acne TCM treatment →
Eczema is often discussed in TCM as spleen deficiency with dampness or blood heat. Care may include herbs, lifestyle notes and, when suitable, acupuncture — always after an in-person pattern assessment. Results vary; this is not a dermatology diagnosis. Eczema clinic info →
Wind-dispelling, itch-relieving and blood-cooling herbs may help ease acute symptoms; constitutional care may reduce hypersensitivity to triggers over time.

TCM Perspective
Why Treat Skin from Within?
The skin reflects the body's internal state. Acne often relates to internal heat-toxins; eczema to dampness affecting the spleen. Topical treatment alone, without addressing constitution, often leads to recurrence.
Internal Herbal Medicine
Personalised formulas based on pattern differentiation address underlying organ imbalances that may contribute to skin symptoms.
Detox-Supporting Acupuncture
Specific acupoints may help metabolism of internal toxins, improve skin circulation and support repair.
Dietary Guidance
Personalised dietary advice helps avoid foods that may aggravate your pattern, using food as supportive therapy.

Visit rhythm
What a skin consult often covers
First visits usually map onset, diet, menstrual or stress patterns, and current Western topicals. Follow-ups adjust the plan; spacing depends on how active the skin is. Steroid or other prescribed medicines should not be stopped without advice from the prescribing clinician.
