According to TCM, most skin disorders are the result of the body unable to eliminate toxins completely. 

 

There are four main channels that our bodies use to eliminate waste:

Respiration
Perspiration
Urination
Defecation

​

Skin is your body's largest organ of elimination. Theoretically, a healthy person can eliminate toxins from diet or the environment. However, many people have minor irregularities that prevent the complete elimination of toxins, for example, having trouble to eliminate through normal channels, such as constipation or lack of perspiration. As a result, toxins pushed towards skin without being removed.

Common skin issues we treat include

• Itching

• Acne

• Eczema

• Psoriasis

• Shingles

• Dermatitis

​

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) restore the normal, healthy function of the skin organ along with other internal systems affecting skin function.
