What can I expect from Holistic TCM Dermatology treatments?
There is an internal, systemic process underlying many common skin conditions. Western dermatological approaches are strong but ineffective or unsafe for many individuals. By finding and treating the root cause, we can clear the skin and improve overall health. Holistic dermatology treatment is safe with minimal or no side effects.
Some conditions can be completely cured with TCM dermatology while others can be managed effectively or brought to remission. It’s helpful if you’ve been diagnosed by a dermatologist, but it’s not always necessary for holistic treatment.
