WHAT IS HOLISTIC TCM DERMATOLOGY?
Holistic Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) dermatology is a comprehensive approach to treating skin conditions, focusing on the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and environment. Unlike conventional dermatology, which often treats the skin's symptoms in isolation (e.g., using steroid creams, acids, or strong medications with side effects), TCM dermatology addresses the root causes of skin problems, recognizing that skin health is closely tied to internal imbalances in the body. It could be an imbalance due to
the health of an organ - stomach, lungs, liver, skin etc…
emotional dysregulation or stress
diet or lifestyle
Practitioner grade, herbal medicines and products that are founded upon the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine are used to address these imbalances and restore health. These ingredients are widely used in high quality Western products but at lower concentrations and often from inferior sources. Examples of Asian Beauty ingredients that are now widely used include:
Bakuchiol Oil - a retinol alternative
Carrot Oil - for “glass skin”
Rose Otto - for wound healing, skin brightening and to reduce redness and inflammation
Turmeric - reduces inflammation and increases blood flow
Squalene Oil - reverses UV damage
In TCM, the skin is considered a reflection of the body's internal health, particularly the state of the Qi (vital energy), blood, yin, and yang, as well as the balance between the body's internal organs. Holistic TCM dermatology uses a combination of herbal remedies, acupuncture, dietary therapy, and lifestyle adjustments to promote healing from within and restore balance.
