Eczema & psoriasis

Chronic inflammatory skin conditions in TCM are read as Wind, Heat, Dampness, or Blood deficiency in varying combinations. Psoriasis patterns tend toward Blood Heat with Blood stagnation; eczema patterns often involve Damp-Heat or Blood deficiency depending on presentation. Treatment can substantially reduce flare frequency and severity.

Acupuncture regulates the systemic pattern; herbal formulas do most of the deeper work for skin conditions. Topicals from Chinese herbal medicine may be used alongside. Sustained results usually take 3+ months, with the biggest gains after 6.
