Pearl of Health- Skin Conditions

At Pearl of Health, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture provide natural, holistic solutions for a variety of skin conditions, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and urticaria (hives). TCM views skin issues as imbalances in Qi (energy), blood circulation, and internal organ function, often linked to digestive health, stress, and immune function. By addressing the root cause rather than just symptoms, TCM promotes long-term skin healing and overall well-being.

Acupuncture improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and balances hormones, which is particularly effective for acne, eczema, and rosacea. Chinese herbal medicine detoxifies the body, strengthens the immune system, and nourishes the skin. Tui Na massage and moxibustion (moxa) support healing by improving blood flow and reducing dampness and heat, which are common causes of chronic skin conditions in TCM.

Pearl of Health also works with  childhood/paediatric skin conditions, offering gentle, non-invasive treatments for baby eczema, cradle cap, and allergic skin reactions. Pediatric Tui Na and laser acupuncture provide safe, drug-free relief, helping to soothe irritation and promote faster healing.

If you or your child suffer from persistent skin conditions, Pearl of Health offers effective, natural treatments to restore skin health and overall balance, located in Melbourne and the Macedon Ranges.

Acne is caused by Heat, Dampness, and Blood Stagnation, often linked to Lung, Stomach, and Liver imbalances. Hormonal fluctuations, poor digestion, and toxin buildup contribute to breakouts. Acupuncture and Chinese  medicine help reduce inflammation, balance hormones, improve circulation, and detoxify the skin, leading to clearer, healthier skin naturally.

Eczema, in Chinese Medicine, is caused by Damp-Heat, Blood Deficiency, and Wind, leading to inflammation, dryness, and itching. Poor digestion, stress, and immune imbalances worsen symptoms. Acupuncture and herbal medicine regulate the immune system, reduce inflammation, and restore skin barrier function for long-term relief.

Psoriasis develops due to imbalances such as Blood Heat, Blood Stagnation, and Wind-Damp accumulation, which cause inflammation, redness, scaling, and persistent itching. These internal disharmonies disrupt circulation and immune function, exacerbating symptoms. By improving blood flow, regulating the immune system, and reducing inflammation, acupuncture and Chinese medicine techniques used aat Pearl of Health provide a natural, long-term solution for managing psoriasis and promoting healthier skin.

Rosacea, from a TCM perspective, stems from excess Heat, Blood Stagnation, and imbalances in the Lung or Stomach meridians. These disruptions lead to facial redness, flushing, and chronic inflammation. Poor digestion and circulation further aggravate symptoms. Through acupuncture and Chinese medicine, Pearl of Health will help cool internal Heat, enhance blood flow, and reduce inflammation, supporting clearer, healthier skin.

Hives (urticaria) (often on the back of the arms) often indicate Wind-Heat, Dampness, or Blood Deficiency in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). These imbalances cause itching, redness, and raised welts, often triggered by stress, allergies, or poor digestion. Liver Qi stagnation and weak Wei Qi (defensive energy) may also contribute to chronic hives. Acupuncture and chinese medicine at pearl of health will help clear Heat, expel Wind, and strengthen Blood and Qi, reducing inflammation and preventing recurrence. By addressing the root cause,
