CLINICAL INSIGHT
Research into integrative Chinese medicine approaches for rosacea shows improved symptom reduction compared with standard care alone, particularly when inflammation, circulation, and microbiome balance are addressed together.
Clinical Symptom Reduction: A systematic review published inFrontiers in Pharmacologyin 2024 examined the combination of TCM with standard biomedical treatments for rosacea. The study found that this integrative approach led to a significant reduction in clinical symptom scores compared to standard treatments alone. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
High Cure Effective Rate: A study published in theChinese Journal of Integrative Medicineinvestigated the effects of the Chibixiao Recipe (CBX), a TCM formulation, combined with minocycline and spironolactone in treating female rosacea patients. The treated group achieved a cure-markedly effective rate of 87.5%, significantly higher than the 45.0% observed in the control group receiving only minocycline and spironolactone. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
