How can Chinese Medicine heal your chronic skin condition?
If you've ever dealt with a chronic skin disease or really any complex disease of any kind you've surely been inundated with everyone's opinions about what works and what doesn't work. You’ve received all the unsolicited opinions about what you should do, and “have you tried this therapy?”, and, no doubt, you've tried it all. You probably have even tried acupuncture or seen an herbalist before. So why bother seeing a traditional Chinese medicine dermatology specialist?
What’s the difference of the Chinese medicine approach?
Treating the root cause and not just chasing symptoms. Most conventional treatments focus on relieving symptoms, and those symptoms often come back once you stop the medication, cream, wash, etc. With Chinese medicine, when we address the root cause of disease we can correct the core imbalance and allow you to heal completely without needing to stay on any herbs or medicines for the long term.
A detailed diagnostic system. The disease diagnosis of “eczema” or “acne” is just the beginning. With Chinese medicine treatment, every case of eczema will get a different treatment. We look at exactly how your skin disease is manifesting. Is it more dry, more weepy, more red and inflamed, is there more itching or more burning, etc? The specific features of your skin disease are used to construct a customized formula and treatment strategy for you.
Different presentations, get different treatments. Chinese herbal medicine is not a one size fits all approach. Your formula is customized for you. We have a 500-herb pharmacy that gives us many options to customize and modify your formula based on what your skin needs and your formula will change as your skin heals.
Location specific targeted treatment. Psoriasis that appears on the limbs versus the scalp versus the hands and feet all require different. Unlike many conventional treatments we are able to tailor your formulas and treatments to target those areas and treat your skin disease wherever it is manifesting.
Whole body, whole person treatment. We are looking to bring all parts of your system into balance and harmony, not just the skin. We will spend just as much time checking in on all the parts of your system as we spend talking about your skin. Your mental health, your digestive health, your reproductive health, and everything else is an integral part of maintaining and reclaiming your skin’s health.
Every case is unique. With a thorough intake and Chinese Medicine diagnosis we can create a treatment plan specific to your needs. If you or someone you know suffers from chronic skin disease and wants to avoid pharmaceuticals and medical interventions and get to the root of your skin issues, TCM Dermatology may be the best option for you.
