Traditional Chinese Medicine looks at the body as a whole. Rather than looking at one symptom and trying to correct isolated symptoms, TCM takes the entire person into account. This includes our environment, our diet, our lifestyle, and even our emotions. Practitioners of TCM often resolve problems that have resisted conventional medical solutions. Eczema would fall into this very category.

Eczema is a skin condition characterized by itchy, rough, red patches. It can vary in severity and symptoms from person to person, but it's often painful and disruptive. It's an inflammatory condition that can trigger additional problems, including asthma, allergies, infections, insomnia, emotional difficulties, and eye problems. Eczema can be difficult to address and correct, causing it to be considered a chronic condition. Many people suffer for years, with symptoms coming and going depending on the presence of triggers.

For some people, these triggers include external factors, like pollen, dust, bacteria, viruses, wool, sweat, chemicals, pollution, or even foods. But for others, the triggers can be internal, such as stress or frustration. This is where TCM can be particularly helpful.

According to TCM, eczema is due to a buildup of heat in the body. This could be caused by external or internal factors, such as a wool allergy or a weak immune system. However, there are a number of emotional conditions that can exacerbate a buildup of heat, including anger, rage, jealousy, and stress. Internalizing these emotions can create inflammation, as well as prevent people from engaging in beneficial activities, such as exercise.

While taking a vacation may not immediately clear up your eczema, decreasing stress could be a piece of the puzzle. Practitioners of TCM will take your emotional state as well as physical factors into account as they seek to help you correct imbalances in your body and release the buildup of heat and inflammation that's triggering the eczema. They may recommend a combination of acupuncture, dietary changes, herbal solutions, or even emotional releases that will help you resolve what's actually causing the problem from within, rather than just offering topical solutions that only help once you've experienced an outbreak.
