Natural Relief for Eczema & Neurodermatitis – The TCM Approach

1. How does TCM understand eczema and neurodermatitis?

In TCM, eczema is considered an expression of internal dampness and heat. Neurodermatitis is seen as a sign of internal disharmony—mostly caused by wind, heat, blood deficiency, and emotional factors. The goal is to calm the skin from the inside out.

2. Can acupuncture relieve itching?

Yes. Acupuncture calms the nervous system, regulates the immune system, and cools the blood. This reduces inflammation and effectively soothes itching, even for nighttime complaints.

3. What are the effects of Chinese herbs?

Herbs have detoxifying, cleansing, and skin-nourishing effects. They stabilize the constitution and are ideally suited for long-term relapse prevention. Application can be via teas, granules, washings, or ointments.

4. What role do nutrition and stress play?

A very significant one. Avoiding milk, sugar, spicy, and fatty foods is crucial. Since emotional tension often leads to "Liver Fire" and intensifies itching, TCM works both physically and psychologically to stabilize the overall condition.

5. Is TCM suitable for children with skin problems?

Absolutely. Especially for neurodermatitis or chronic eczema, TCM is an excellent choice—without cortisone, individually adapted, and effective in the long term. We use gentle methods such as herbal baths, moxibustion, and targeted nutritional counseling.
