Acupuncture for skin conditions
Facing the world clear and bright Acupuncture for skin problems can be a big help Problems with your skin can seem very unfair in that there's often no hiding them! Your skin may worsen with certain foods, when you're run down, or if you're pre-menstrual. Jessica will ask lots of questions to reach a fully individualised diagnosis of your problem.
Acne, dry skin, eczema, psoriasis and rashes all have different diagnoses in Chinese medicine, and can respond well to treatment. Acupuncture helps restore harmony across your body, helping re-establish natural processes and rhythms, giving your skin the balance it needs.

What proportion of commonly used treatments are supported by good evidence, what proportion should not be used or used only with caution, and how big are the gaps in our knowledge? Of around 2500 treatments covered 13% are rated as beneficial, 23% likely to be beneficial, 8% as trade off between benefits and harms, 6% unlikely to be beneficial, 4% likely to be ineffective or harmful, and 46%, the largest proportion, as unknown effectiveness" © Jessica Kennedy 2005-09, all rights reserved |
