Acupuncture for Skin Conditions

Acupuncture has been used in China and Japan for thousands of years. One reason acupuncture has been used is to treat a variety of skin conditions. I have treated people with eczema, psoriasis, acne, and many other kind of skin irritations. In Oriental medicine the skin is considered the third lung. Many times skin conditions are caused by imbalances in the lung or large intestine energetic systems.

Skin conditions can be treated with acupuncture, but it does take dedication as skin takes time to regenerate. Diet and nutrition play a large part of skin health as well. I will work with you to cut out foods that can have a negative effect on skin health. If we see fit, we will also recommend that you receive nutritional counseling as well.

Some lifestyle choices that are important for skin health are:

Avoid sugar, sodas, alcohol, refined or processed foods and fried foods

Drink plenty of water

Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables

Exercise regularly

Keep stress to a minimum by receiving acupuncture, doing yoga and meditation

Get on a skin care routine and stick with it. It takes time for skin to heal

Work with someone to examine your diet to see where cuts and additions can be made. Some people are sensitive to chocolate, or coffee, or even wheat.

I suffered from acne for most of my life. It started in my teens and continued into my adult life. I had been on almost every antibiotic for acne and tried just about every cream, lotion and toner. A lot of those things worked, but I was worried about the long term effects of taking such things. Of course the medical and pharmaceutical professions don't warn of such things, but it really isn't natural. It wasn't until I really changed my diet and started to receive weekly acupuncture that it finally went away without the use of any medications or topical treatments. It took dedication. I think I received acupuncture weekly for about 6 or 7 months before my skin was completely clear. That was in 2005. Now, when my skin starts to break out I know I am due for an acupuncture treatment. So I am a big proponent of using acupuncture for skin conditions. I know that it can work if you have the dedication and want to go about it in a natural way.

During your acupuncture treatment at Element Acupuncture in Boston we will sit down and discuss all these options with you. We take the time to make sure we know all about your concerns and we come up with a treatment plan that is realistic and effective.
