The condition of skin reflects and reacts to imbalances within the body’s internal landscape and the effects of the environment. Internal disharmony caused by strong emotions,organ disfunction, fluid transformation,diet and your constitution as well as environmental influences, such as wind, dryness, dampness, and heat and poison can all contribute to the development of a skin disorder. Because of holistic view of Chinese Medicine, the view of skin disorder has to be considered in the larger scope instead of looking on the local conditions during the treatment process. In some cases where the severity and situation does not allow much time to wait, treatment plan can then incorporate external herbs or conventional medicine to achieve short term objectives.
