A Traditional Chinese Medicine Approach to Healing Chronic Skin Conditions
Understanding Acne & Redness: A TCM Diagnosis
Every skin condition is unique, so every treatment begins with a thorough, personalised diagnostic process.
Through tongue observation, pulse diagnosis, and a detailed intake of your skin history, menstrual health, digestion, stress levels, sleep, and lifestyle, we identify the exact TCM pattern contributing to your skin condition.
Some common clinical patterns include:
- Lung Heat and Wind - often seen in pustular acne or rosacea flares
- Damp-Heat in the Stomach and Intestines – linked to cystic and hormonal acne along the jawline and chin
- Blood Heat and Stagnation – behind red, inflamed skin or persistent breakouts
- Liver Qi Stagnation with Heat – associated with stress-related flare-ups and peri-menopausal skin changes
- Spleen Qi Deficiency - leading to damp accumulation and sluggish lymphatic detox pathways
Why TCM Works for Chronic Conditions
Chronic skin issues aren’t just cosmetic. They’re messages from your body.
TCM doesn't suppress them; it listens to them. By treating the cause, not just the symptoms, we help your skin heal naturally and completely.
Our patients report clearer, calmer, more resilient skin - often for the first time in years because their skin is no longer in constant conflict with what’s happening internally.
