ACNE
Acne is horrible and embarrassing and makes us want to hide from the world!!!!
In Chinese medicine acne involves the build-up of heat, dampness & toxicity in the body which manifests itself in the skin as inflammation. Heat and damp can accumulate in the body from poor diet habits as well as stress and emotional disturbances.
Treatment involves eliminating the internal heat, dampness & toxicity and reducing inflammation. This is achieved with a combination of acupuncture and herbs.
For long lasting results diet and lifestyle modifications may be required. Alcohol, smoking, spicy foods, caffeine, dehydration and stress should be minimised where possible.
Chinese medicine is ideal for those who wish to manage their acne naturally. To book in your initial Chinese medicine consultation with Dr Rachel Berners(CM) @ her Eltham or City practice, call Rachel direct on 0417325393.
