TCM views eczema as manifestations of internal disharmonies including Heat, Dampness, or Blood deficiency affecting the Lung, Spleen, and Liver systems that govern skin health.
Eczema is a chronic skin condition that causes persistent dryness, intense itching, inflammation, and unpredictable flare-ups that can significantly impact daily comfort and quality of life. At Qin's Clinic, we use Traditional Chinese Medicine to address both surface symptoms and the internal imbalances that trigger eczema, taking a comprehensive internal and external approach to restore skin health naturally.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), eczema is often linked to Heat, Dampness, or Blood deficiency, as well as imbalances in the Lung, Spleen, and Liver systems that affect skin health. These patterns may be influenced by diet, stress, environmental factors, or genetic predisposition, requiring treatment that addresses internal causes rather than just external skin symptoms.
