TCM Herb session: Acne
This is the dry powder & liquid formula to clear heat and toxicity from the body. When there is heat and toxicity in the body it can show up in several ways. One way is in the form of acne. Depending upon where the toxicity and heat are stored in the body makes the difference of which herb or herbs to use for treatment. Herbs can affect one organ or several organs. In this formula, I chose to treat heat in the liver, stomach, heart, and lungs. I chose these organs because the internal heat of these organs are showing signs of heat in the areas of the exterior body that match with those organs. For example, if the tip of the tongue has small red spots and the tip of the nose has acne or is red, that indicates heat in the heart. Hopefully my DS will get some relief from his acne. We shall see!
*This is my own homemade formula used to treat acne.
**It is very important not to use herbs without the knowledge of an herbalist. Many herbs can affect people negatively and when some herbs are combined can be dangerous. Formulating herbs involves knowledge about herb combining, dosage, pathology, and pharmacology. 💗 🌿 🪴 🌱
