A is for Acne
Did you now that Chinese medicine can help with acne?
Diet is essential as the overpoductive oil glands that are the culprit of this conditioned get their "juice" from the digestive tract. Innapropriate foods eaten for a long time give ample building blocks for the oils glands to do their mischief. Heat is part of the condition, that is why acne tends to exist in the upper part of the body. Thus, dietary counseling is part of the treatment.
In conjunction with diet, I like to use Chinese herbal medicinals. I use the word medicinal here because herbs are given based on an individual pattern, professionally differentiated by tongue and pulse examination, and matched with the patient's history. That is, no two patients are treated alike. Individual custom care, along with treating the root cause, is the hallmark of success.
Patient Discussion:
Teenager with severe acne and migraine headaches
Treatment:
Teenager with severe acne and migraine headaches. One herbal consultation, two herbal formulas given based upon pattern differentiation. Both problems resolved 100% in three months with no negative side effects. In addition, dietary changes made, which, when adhered to, keep the breakouts from recurring.
Chinese medicine is natural, safe, effective, holistic, unique. It is healthy for people and healthy for the environment. It treats the whole family.
It is very cost effective. As it not only cures but also keeps people free from disease, it's cost effectiveness becomes even more apparent.
So A is for acne. And so is Chinese medicine.
