Skin Health Through the TCM Perspective

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the skin is viewed as a reflection of the body’s wider internal balance. Skin concerns may be understood through traditional patterns such as Heat, Dampness, Dryness, Blood deficiency or stagnation, with factors including digestion, stress, sleep, hormonal changes and lifestyle considered as part of the overall picture.

Rather than focusing on the skin alone, treatment is personalised according to each individual’s TCM pattern. Acupuncture may be combined with carefully selected herbal therapy, dietary and lifestyle guidance, with the aim of restoring balance and supporting overall wellbeing from within.

This holistic approach can be used alongside conventional dermatological care, particularly for those looking to address the wider factors that may accompany recurring skin concerns.
