Managing Psoriasis with Chinese Medicine
Psoriasis, a chronic condition characterised by red, scaly patches of skin, can be both physically uncomfortable and emotionally challenging. From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, psoriasis often reflects internal imbalances involving heat, dryness, toxin accumulation, and blood stagnation. At our clinic, we focus on addressing these underlying factors to provide relief, improve skin health, and enhance overall well-being.

Understanding Psoriasis in TCM
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, psoriasis is often linked to heat in the blood, dryness, and stagnation within the body. By addressing these imbalances, we aim to restore harmony and promote the body’s natural healing processes. This holistic approach not only improves visible symptoms but also strengthens the body to reduce future flare-ups.
