Skin Disorders

 

The Skin is the largest organ in the human body. It also functions as a barrier between the external environment and the internal organs. Skin functions to fight against bacteria, viruses and toxic materials as well as to regulate body temperature and to excrete waste products. Skin also has the most nerve endings and is responsible for transmitting information about pressure, heat, cold and pain to the central nervous system. In Chinese Medicine Lungs are in charge of the skin’s health. It is the main organ to irrigate the skin, while liver and heart help to nourish skin with blood. It is an essential part of Chinese diagnosis to look at the color of one’s complexion and therefore determine what type of organ imbalance one suffers from. Therapeutically, we address the affected organ to treat a skin condition from inside out. Even if you receive facial rejuvenation acupuncture treatment, you will leave not only looking but feeling younger as well.
