There are many causes of skin diseases, such as occupation, age, and living habits etc. However, the strength of the individual’s constitution and immunity are the main factors that induce skin diseases. Common skin diseases such as shingles are usually caused by decreased body resistance. When the resistance increases, the function of the epidermal barrier will also increase, which can effectively prevent foreign fungi, bacteria and viruses, greatly reduce the incidence of skin diseases.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, skin diseases not only represent to skin problems, but also a warning sign issued by the body. They indicate that the body is in an imbalanced state, which is related to the problems of the lungs, liver, spleen, stomach and kidney in the internal organs. That is to say, the root cause of skin diseases comes from the functional problems of the internal organs, so we must make adjustment in terms of life, eating habits, work and rest.

Traditional Chinese medicine treats skin diseases not only eliminates inflammation, anti-allergic and antipruritic symptoms. Instead, it helps to enhance gasification in the body, strengthening the water-liquid metabolism function of the lung, spleen and kidney, and increase liver detoxification metabolism function. Therefore, when the immune system changes from weak to strong, the problems on the skin will be improved.
