Managing Rosacea with Chinese Medicine
Rosacea, often characterised by facial redness, visible blood vessels, and occasional acne-like bumps, is a chronic condition that can impact self-confidence and comfort. Beyond the surface, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) views rosacea as a reflection of internal imbalances, often linked to heat, dampness, and poor circulation. At our clinic, we take a holistic approach to address these root causes, providing relief and long-term management.
