DERMATOLOGY


Traditional Chinese medicine offers profound insight towards treating dermatological disorders of many different etiologies. The health of our skin often reflects our internal state of balance. Herbal medicine is an integral part of healing the skin from the inside out. Much like the classic approach of compound pharmacies, herbal medicine utilizes the art and science of creating personalized prescriptions that are formulated specifically for each patient. Loose herbs may be combined in the exact dose, strength and function required by a patient’s unique condition, health history and constitution. This allows for adjustments to the medicine as symptoms begin to change, which not only reduces the potential for side effects, but also leads to lasting remission.
