Acne, swells and other lesions are manifestation of trapped heat in the body. It can arise due to 'heat in the lungs', 'heat in the digestive system', or 'heat in the blood'. When these organ systems do not function smoothly to clear the heat, it attempts to exit via another outlet in the body, the skin pores. If there is an element of dampness, the inflammation worsens and becomes infected. These are some of the many herbs used to treat acne and inflamed conditions. Depending on the individual's syndromes, different herbs are combined. They may be either taken topically or internally. As TCM approaches the patient's health as a whole, clearing the surface heat will also improve the overall well-being and the improve the body's flow of energy (Qi).
