Chinese Acne Treatments
Chinese acne treatments are highly-considered as among the
most effective alternative treatments for acne. In
traditional Chinese medicine, acne, also called as "fei feng
fen ci" or the "lesion of the lung wind", is generally seen
as an aftereffect from environmental heat force.
In early Chinese medicinal theories, skin is connected to
the lungs, so it depends greatly on the lungs for the supply
of essential substances like water. In return, the skin can
change the normal respiration process of the lungs,
especially during the times when cold gains access inside
the system through sweat pores. With such theory, Chinese
experts are able to categorize acne into several kinds as
well as to provide effective treatments on each types.
The types of acne conditions in Chinese medicine are divided
into three categories: The phlegm-accumulation, the
toxic-heat, and the blood-heat type. The common signs and
symptoms for phlegm-accumulation type are cystic acne, skin
lesion, and indurative acne, that are usually accompanied
with a slippery pulse and a greasy and white fur on the
tongue. For toxic heat type acne, the main signs and
symptoms are furuncles and facial abscesses, malar flush,
and inflammatory nodules. As for the blood-heat type acne,
the common symptoms are tubercles, infiltration around acne
infected areas, red papules, accompanied with a burning
sensation.
Early Chinese skin specialists made use of individual herbs
to cure acne conditions. The formulas develop as time
progresses. The modern Chinese medication for acne is
divided into two divisions, called the ingredients
prescription and the preparation. The preparation is
basically the plan of herbal medicines formulated in line
with the prescription part.
