In Chinese medicine, skin disease is not only a problem with local skin tissues, but also a reflection of imbalanced internal body. Unlike conventional treatment which focuses on local skins using medications such as steroid, Chinese medicine doctors make the diagnosis based on all the evidence collected. These evidences included various influencing factors, physically and mentally, such as congenital pre-disposition, social environment and stress. Even for the same skin condition, the diagnosis might be different through development of the disease. Take psoriasis as an example, when it is in acute stage, treatment is more focused on clearing toxins; while it becomes chronic, treatment focus is shifted to improve circulation and boost body’s immune system against further potential attack.
Dietary advice is very important in skin disease management. Chinese medicine doesn’t recommend a strict diet or fads, but rather a moderation intake of variety of nutritious foods. As we know, a high intake of fatty foods is a contributing factor for acne, especially among teenagers. It is not recommended to have spicy foods at acute stage of skin diseases. An appropriate use of nutrition supplement under instruction of a health professional can help disease recovery.
