What to Do About Acne
Acne — also called fenci — is a common adolescent skin condition. It shows as small rice-grain-sized eruptions on face, chest, and back — popularly called youth beauty beans. Today not only the young have it; many middle-aged adults do too. Acne on the face is not only a matter of looks — it is a signal of disordered body function.
Specialists at Pingxintang hold: blood-heat in excess; excess of pungent-hot food; lung-stomach heat-accumulation; or washing the face in cold water; qi-and-blood congestion; in deep cases, long-standing blood-stagnation joined with phlegm — all are etiologies of acne.
So regulating the inner environment is the main way to address facial acne.
Discerning the pattern and treating per the specific cause is the main method for youth beauty beans. TCM treatment not only restores the face but also brings the body's yin-yang and qi-blood into harmony. Removing phlegm-damp, blood-stasis, inner heat, and other evils naturally protects health.
Pingxintang's specialists counsel acne patients: correcting the inner imbalance in good time is the root of winning back the face.
