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 linked to spleen deficiency with dampness or blood heat. Spleen-strengthening, damp-resolving and blood-cooling herbs may support skin barrier function and reduce flare-ups alongside dietary guidance. Eczema TCM treatment →
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.
