Herbal Medication
Herbal medication is essential in the treatment of skin conditions as it addresses the root causes of skin imbalances, like heat, dampness, blood stasis, and deficiency.
Herbs For Skin Treatment
- Clear heat and toxins to reduce inflammation, redness and itching that is common in acne, eczema and hives.
- Remove dampness to improve the skin’s healing abilities and relieve weeping or sticky skin lesions.
- Enhance Qi and blood circulation to promote healing.
- Nourish the blood and Yin to restore moisture and improve skin texture, especially for eczema and psoriasis patients with dry skin.
Acupuncture
Thin needles are inserted at specific acupoints on the body to regulate Qi flow and restore balance in the body, mentally and physically, to enhance recovery. Acupuncture is an effective skin treatment offering symptomatic relief while addressing underlying imbalances contributing to the condition.
Acupuncture For Skin Treatment
- Enhances Qi and blood flow to the skin to nourish the skin cells and support regeneration.
- Regulate the immune system to reduce inflammation in patients with acne, eczema, psoriasis and hives. This helps relieve itching and skin redness. 1
- Manage mood and stress to reduce the frequency of stress-induced eczema, psoriasis and acne flare-ups. 2
- Stimulates collagen production to aid tissue repair in damaged skin, preventing scarring from acne, eczema or psoriasis wounds. 3
Cupping
Cupping is a technique that uses glass cups and heat to create suction on the body. This suction stimulates Qi and blood flow, removing internal heat and toxins to promote healing.
Cupping For Skin Treatment
- Enhance detoxification by stimulating the lymphatic system. This clears toxins and pathogens that cause skin flare-ups. 4
- Increase blood flow to the affected area to nourish the skin, support skin repair and reduce inflammation.
- Reduce heat and remove toxins that cause inflammation, redness and pus-filled lesions found in acne and psoriasis. Cupping is especially effective in drawing out toxins and releasing heat trapped in deeper layers of the skin.
Guasha
This technique involves scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool to tone facial muscles, reduce swelling and improve circulation, enhancing skin health and complexion.
Guasha For Skin Treatment
- Improve blood and Qi circulation to the skin surface, boosting the skin’s natural healing abilities. 5
- Enhances lymphatic flow and drainage to eliminate toxins, fluids, and waste that contribute to puffiness, acne, dullness and skin irritation.
- Promotes balance by clearing excess heat and dampness, helping to calm inflammation
Bloodletting
Bloodletting involves prickling the skin with small needles to release a small amount of blood to eliminate heat, toxins and stagnation.
Bloodletting For Skin Treatment
- Clear excess heat and inflammation to relieve redness, swelling or inflammatory lesions on the skin that occur in acne, psoriasis and shingles.
- Dispel toxins that often cause breakouts, rashes, or other skin problems.
- Promote smooth Qi and blood flow to relieve skin congestion and support healing.
Electro-Lymphatic Therapy
A gentle and non-invasive technique that stimulates proper flow and drainage of the lymphatic system. A well-functioning lymphatic system supports skin regeneration and reduces inflammation to promote a clearer, healthier complexion. 6
Benefits of Good Lymphatic Flow & Drainage
- Efficiently removes metabolic waste, toxins and dead cells, preventing skin dullness, congestion and acne breakouts. 7
- Reduce fluid retention to minimise swelling and puffiness, revealing firmer, refreshed skin with a smoother appearance.
- Regulate immune response to lower the risk of skin infections and irritations, reducing flare-up frequency in eczema and hives patients caused by allergens. 8
- Reduce inflammation to calm the skin and reduce redness and irritation. 9
- Delivers nutrients, oxygen and immune cells to the skin efficiently, promoting skin healing and regeneration. 10
Cell Pro Therapy
Delivers reducing electrons into the body to strengthen our natural self-defence power, promoting blood circulation and cellular metabolism while combating oxidative stress. Reducing electrons neutralises harmful free radicals that can contribute to premature ageing, inflammation, and various skin disorders. 11
Benefits of Neutralising Free Radicals
- Protect skin cells from oxidative stress, potentially reducing the visible signs of ageing. 12
- Enhance cellular regeneration for healing and skin recovery. 13
- Reduce inflammation to relieve redness and itching. 14
- Enhance circulation for efficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the skin, while aiding the removal of metabolic waste. This supports the skin’s vitality and complexion. 15
- Support the immune system to help prevent allergic reactions and skin sensitivity. 16
- Balance the autonomic nervous system, reducing stress and anxiety which are common triggers for skin conditions like acne, eczema and psoriasis. 17

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take for my skin to improve with TCM treatment?
The recovery period varies for different individuals. It depends on the severity of your skin condition, lifestyle and eating habits, environment, frequency of treatment, as well as body sensitivity to TCM treatments.
Generally, patients may begin to see some improvement within a few weeks for mild conditions. For chronic or severe conditions like eczema or psoriasis, treatment may take 3-6 months before significant improvements can be observed.
TCM emphasises improving your general constitution and addressing the root cause of the issue, so while it can take time to see improvement, our treatment aims to provide you with long-lasting results.
Can TCM help with the itching and inflammation of eczema?
Yes, TCM can help alleviate the itching and inflammation associated with eczema. In TCM, eczema often stems from internal imbalances, such as dampness, heat, or wind, combined with a weakened immune system. To address this, TCM physicians commonly use herbs that clear heat and dampness, alongside acupuncture, to reduce inflammation, soothe the skin, and relieve itching.
For patients with chronic inflammation, Electro-Lymphatic Therapy (ELT) may also be beneficial. By promoting better lymphatic flow and drainage, ELT helps reduce inflammation, leading to calmer skin, less redness, and decreased irritation.
Will my skin condition come back after treatment?
Whether the condition recurs depends on whether the underlying imbalance has been fully addressed. Additionally, lifestyle changes or triggers can contribute to a relapse. In TCM, we view health and wellness as an ongoing journey, emphasising prevention, symptom relief, and treating the root cause of any condition.
To prevent recurrence, it is essential to maintain a balanced diet, manage stress, and follow the lifestyle changes recommended by your TCM physician. If you notice early signs of recurrence, scheduling a consultation for prompt treatment is key to keeping the condition under control.
Is my diet causing acne breakouts/eczema flare-ups?
Diet plays a significant role in skin health, and it may be contributing to your breakouts and flare-ups. Excessive consumption of spicy, greasy, or highly processed foods can lead to an accumulation of dampness and heat, which can trigger skin conditions like acne and eczema. On the other hand, a lack of nourishing foods that support Yin, blood, or the Spleen may weaken the skin’s resilience. While diet is an important factor in skin health, addressing the root cause is essential. It is best to consult a physician for an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan.

While diet is an important factor in skin health, addressing the root cause is essential. It is best to consult a physician for an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan.
Can stress cause my skin problems?
Yes, stress can greatly impact skin health. From a TCM perspective, emotional stress disrupts the flow of Qi and can cause heat or stagnation in the body, which can manifest in the skin. This can worsen conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis. TCM treatments focus on calming the mind, harmonizing Qi flow, and relieving emotional tension to prevent stress from aggravating skin conditions.
Are there any side effects or downtime associated with the treatments?
TCM treatments are typically gentle, with minimal risk of serious side effects. For skin conditions such as eczema or acne, some patients may experience initial flare-ups as the herbs work to expel toxins and pathogens. If this occurs, we recommend staying hydrated and avoiding scratching or picking at the affected areas. Should these flare-ups be more intense than expected or persist for more than a week, please reach out to us for further guidance.
Here are some potential minor side effects you may encounter:
– Acupuncture: You might experience slight soreness or mild bruising at the needle insertion sites. These symptoms are temporary and should subside quickly.
– Herbal Medication: Detox reactions like flare-ups or purging may occur. It is important to follow the dietary guidelines provided and contact us if you feel more discomfort than usual.
– Cupping and Guasha: Some bruising in the treated area is common and typically fades within a week, depending on your body’s circulation.
– Electro-Lymphatic Therapy: After this treatment, you may notice increased thirst, mild lethargy, and more frequent urination. These are normal detox responses as the therapy enhances lymphatic drainage and circulation.
Overall, there is no significant downtime associated with TCM treatments, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately. Side effects are rare, and treatments are customized to your specific needs to ensure both safety and effectiveness. It is important to always seek treatment from qualified and licensed TCM physicians to ensure the highest standard of care.
Can I claim TCM medical fees from my company and/or insurance company?
There are many flexible work benefits and insurance plans that cover TCM expenses. Please check with your respective HR/company and/or insurance agent for your eligibility.
We will be able to provide supporting documents for your insurance claim but are unable to submit any personal claims on your behalf.

Yes, stress can greatly impact skin health. From a TCM perspective, emotional stress disrupts the flow of Qi and can cause heat or stagnation in the body, which can manifest in the skin. This can worsen conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis. TCM treatments focus on calming the mind, harmonizing Qi flow, and relieving emotional tension to prevent stress from aggravating skin conditions.
