Eczema is a common inflammatory skin disease, characterized by symptoms such as dry skin, erythema, blisters, and scaling, accompanied by intense itching. At Guiyuan Traditional Chinese Medicine, we help patients relieve eczema symptoms and fundamentally adjust the imbalance of the body by integrating various treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine. Here are some of the main treatment strategies we use:
1. Traditional Chinese medicine for internal and external use
In traditional Chinese medicine theory, eczema is often caused by insufficient liver and kidney function, stasis of blood and heat, or accumulation of damp and heat. Therefore, we will prepare suitable Chinese medicine prescriptions according to the patient's constitution and symptoms. These prescriptions are designed to clear away heat and detoxify, nourish the liver and kidneys, and moisturize the skin to remove blood stasis, such as Longdan Xiegan Decoction or Wuwei disinfectant drink. In addition, we also provide topical Chinese ointments or lotions to directly soothe skin symptoms.
2. Acupuncture treatment
Acupuncture can regulate the body's internal balance and enhance the skin's ability to repair itself. Acupuncture at specific acupoints, such as Dazhui and Fengchi, can effectively reduce skin inflammation and relieve itching. Acupuncture also helps improve overall blood circulation and Qi flow in the body.
3. Moxibustion treatment
Moxibustion is a treatment method that uses the heat energy generated by burning mugwort. It is especially effective for eczema caused by cold and dampness. Moxibustion can warm yang, remove cold, and dredge meridians, thereby helping to relieve skin discomfort caused by eczema.
4. Diet adjustment and life guidance
Guiyuan Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes the importance of diet in the treatment of eczema. We recommend that patients avoid spicy, greasy and allergenic foods, and increase their intake of high-fiber, high-antioxidant foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains, to help remove toxins and heat evils from the body. In addition, maintaining good living habits, such as moderate exercise and adequate sleep, is also an important part of treating eczema.
At Guiyuan Traditional Chinese Medicine, we are committed to providing integrated TCM treatment options that are personalized to patients with eczema based on their symptoms and underlying causes. We believe that through comprehensive treatment with Chinese medicine, we can not only effectively control the symptoms of eczema, but also improve the patient's overall health and quality of life. If you or your family are suffering from eczema, you may wish to seek professional help and treatment from Guiyuan Traditional Chinese Medicine.
