How does TCM view {condition_name}?
TCM views acne as Heat, Dampness, and Toxin accumulation primarily affecting the Lung, Stomach, and Liver systems, where internal imbalances manifest as skin inflammation.
Understanding the Root Cause
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acne is typically associated with Heat, Dampness, and Toxin accumulation, often linked to imbalances in the Lung, Stomach, and Liver systems affecting skin health. Hormonal fluctuations, chronic stress, and dietary factors can further aggravate these patterns and lead to persistent skin breakouts and inflammation.
