Natural Dermatology Treatment

Dermatology is a recognized specialty in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).  TCM texts described the symptoms and treatment of many various skin diseases hundreds of years prior to their recognition in western medicine.  Since ailments affecting the skin were referred to by various names over the course of Chinese medical history, we will refer to the skin conditions recognized in TCM by their modern western names below.

Chinese Medicine Dermatology uses various methods to treat skin diseases and their associated symptoms naturally.  We use internal (ingested) Chinese herbal formulations, external (topically-applied) herbal preparations, dietary improvements and lifestyle recommendations.  We do not use steroids or antibiotics in our holistic, natural dermatology treatments of skin conditions.

**We do not diagnose or treat skin cancer.  If we suspect a skin lesion may be cancerous (or require treatment by steroids or antibiotics), we will refer you to a local western dermatologist for additional care.
