Managing Eczema with Chinese Medicine

Eczema, characterised by itchy, inflamed, and often dry skin, is more than a surface-level condition. It reflects deeper internal imbalances in the body and can significantly impact both physical comfort and emotional well-being. At our clinic, we combine the time-tested wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with a personalised approach to address eczema at its root, offering relief and long-term management.

How Chinese Medicine Can Help

  1. Acupuncture for Symptom Relief
  • Acupuncture helps regulate the immune system and improve blood flow, providing nourishment to the skin.
  • It targets inflammation, reduces itchiness, and restores the body’s natural balance.
  • Specific acupuncture points are carefully chosen to address both symptoms and root causes.
  1. Customised Herbal Medicine
  • Tailored herbal formulas address internal imbalances such as heat, dampness, or dryness.
  • Herbs work to calm inflammation, detoxify the body, and restore moisture balance.
  • Prescriptions are adjusted throughout the treatment to match your progress and needs.
  1. Dietary and Lifestyle Guidance
  • Diet plays a significant role in managing eczema. We provide personalised dietary advice to reduce flare-ups and promote skin health.
  • Lifestyle adjustments are recommended to minimise stress and environmental triggers, enhancing overall well-being.

Understanding Eczema in TCM

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, eczema is often linked to imbalances involving heat, dampness, or dryness. It is also related to the patient’s Liver and Lung function. By addressing these underlying factors, we aim to restore harmony to the body and support the skin’s natural healing process. This approach not only alleviates symptoms but also strengthens the body’s resilience to prevent future flare-ups.
