Your skin shows what is happening inside
In Chinese medicine, the skin reflects the health of the whole body. Two people with the same diagnosis, eczema for example, can have very different patterns underneath: heat, dryness, dampness, or a system that is simply run down. Treatment is built around your pattern, not just the name of the condition.
What we can help with
- Acne, including hormonal and adult acne
- Eczema and dermatitis
- Psoriasis
- Rosacea and facial redness
- Hives and itchy skin
- Skin that flares with stress, digestion, or your cycle
How treatment works
A detailed intake
We look at your skin and at the rest of you: history, diet, sleep, digestion, and what makes flares better or worse. If your skin comes and goes, bring photos of it at its worst to your visit.
An herbal formula for your pattern
For most skin conditions, Chinese herbal medicine taken internally is the main treatment. Your formula is matched to your pattern and adjusted as your skin changes.
Acupuncture and diet, where they help
Acupuncture can help with stress-driven flares and itch, and some food changes often matter more than people expect.
Steady follow-ups
Skin changes gradually. Expect regular follow-ups over several months, with your formula refined as you go.
Alongside your dermatologist
Chinese medicine can work alongside the care you already have. Please don't stop any prescribed medicine without talking to the doctor who prescribed it, and bring a list of everything you use, including creams, to your first visit.
Common questions
How long until I see a change?
Skin conditions change gradually. Many people need a few months of treatment, with regular follow-ups to adjust the formula.
Can I do this online?
Yes. Herbal treatment works well by online consultation, though seeing your skin in person at the first visit helps.
Is this the same as microneedling?
No. Microneedling and nanoneedling are cosmetic treatments for lines, scars, and texture. Needling isn't done on skin that is actively inflamed, so conditions like eczema or active breakouts are treated from the inside first.
