Nothing indicates good health like clear, dewy skin. If struggling with pimples, blocked pores or other skin-related issues, it may be time to make some adjustments to your diet and beauty routine. Here are some tips from the ancient art of Traditional Chinese Medicine to help achieve the smooth, glowing complexion you’ve always wanted.
What causes bad skin?
TCM takes a holistic approach to health. To be healthy, one’s Qi (vital energy) and blood must flow freely throughout the body and its organs, maintaining a balance of yin (cooling) and yang (heating) elements. Because all of the body’s functions are interdependent, bad skin can be caused by a number of different types of imbalances.
One possibility is a malfunctioning metabolism, caused by the poor circulation of Qi or blood. When your body fails to eliminate waste properly, those toxins will be expelled through your skin, potentially causing acne.
Skin problems can also be a sign of inflammation arising from an excess of heat in the body. Excess heat in the lungs is a common culprit, as the lungs are responsible for providing the skin with blood and Qi. If you have digestive problems, stomach heat could be another cause. Meanwhile, excess heat in the blood is accompanied by signs of inflammation throughout the body, such as rashes or sensations of heat.
The last cause of bad skin is “damp heat.” This occurs when dampness accumulates in the body and combines with heat, leading to symptoms such as oily skin, eczema and acne.

Traditional Chinese medicine treatments for skin disorders have been in use since 1100 to 221 B.C. in China. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal therapy are the most common methods in TCM used to treat skin conditions and can provide longer-lasting relief than Western methods. Chinese herbology is effective for several reasons. Due to the complexity of plant materials, it is far more balanced than medicine that is based on isolated active ingredients, and is far less likely to cause side effects. Herbal medicine primarily seeks to correct internal imbalances rather than to treat the symptoms alone, and therapeutic intervention is designed to encourage this self-healing process.
