Holistic Medicine for Skin Disorders

For many years, different modalities of holistic medicine have used herbs in the treatment of skin disorders, such as eczema, acne, psoriasis, alopecia, and others. Many physicians today continue to use the philosophy of holistic medicine to treat individuals who prefer less aggressive and more natural healing methods. Holistic medicine understands wellness as stability among the organisms and the surroundings we live in.

The imbalance in the equilibrium of vitality, Qi-energy, and bodily fluids leads to the progression of illness. The influence of environmental situations furthermore stimulates the development of an illness. The list of environmental conditions includes various specific weather, climate, and magnetic factors in the geographical area where the patient was born or currently resides. Some of those circumstances are the wind, solar radiation, earth magnetic activities, heat and cold, dampness and dryness, volcanic activities, etc. Also, holistic medicine sees the emotional condition as having a strong impact on an individual’s well-being.

For example, from the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) point of view, all skin disorders belong to one of the four clinical classes: Chang-Yang, Pi-Fu-Ling, Gan-Men-Bing, and Za-Bing. Translated in plain English, that generally means skin lesions, eruptions and warts; rectal polyps, cracks and hemorrhoids; and gangrene. Homeopathy looks completely different and the goal of the homeopathic practitioner is to find the remedy that, in a therapeutic dose, can cause the same symptoms as this particular individual has. The list of those remedies for skin disorders is huge and it’s very important to choose the only appropriate medication. Reiki sees in skin disorders a disbalance between cosmic and Earth energies as well as obstruction of chakra(s) that prevent energy from flowing between internal systems of the human body and Universe.

Traditional Chinese Medicine for dermatological diseases

Traditional Chinese Medicine combines the use of medicinal herbs and acupuncture. Among the most popular herbal formulas, “Three Yellow Cleanser” is number one. This herbal medicine is used for eczema, psoriasis, facial acne and many other skin disorders that belong to the class of “cold property,” as I explained above. The acupuncturist is checking the condition of Qi meridians (12 main meridians) prior to treating patients with skin disorders. The best technique for identifying access or deficiency in the meridians is pulse diagnosis. Acupuncturists develop a protocol, or a set of acupuncture points, based on the results of this method. Besides these two most popular TCM treatments, a healthy diet is very important to achieving the result. Patients with skin disorders typically receive recommendations to avoid seafood and alcohol. At the same time, consuming fruits and vegetables may benefit the treatment process.

Homeopathic treatment for dermatological conditions

The homeopathic practitioner may select the appropriate remedy either based on symptoms or the patient’s constitution. The constitutional treatment is much more advanced, but at the same time, it is more complicated. Not each homeopath can choose the correct constitutional remedy because each small detail is important and a homeopathic assessment may take as long as a few hours. The most popular symptomatic homeopathic remedies for skin disorders are Sulphur, Arsenicum Album, Graphite, Apis, etc. If, however, a homeopath prescribes a constitutional remedy, it could be any homeopathic drug registered under the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS). The Reiki healer checks the condition of the aura and chakras, and based on the location of any holes in the aura or obstructions in specific chakras, the treatment targets the energy-deficient areas of the body. Dr. Tsan—Medical Director of Viva Healthy Life has extensive academical and clinical experience in the treatment of different forms of skin disorders. Being the specialist in acupuncture, homeopathy, and Reiki, he successfully uses all these three modalities and gets maximum benefits from each of them.
