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.
Acne is a common skin condition affecting both teenagers and adults, often triggered by hormonal imbalances, stress, or digestive issues that create persistent breakouts and skin inflammation. At Qin's Clinic, we use Traditional Chinese Medicine to treat acne from the inside out, addressing both visible symptoms and underlying root causes to achieve clear, healthy skin naturally and sustainably.
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.
