Skin is our largest organ and a reflection of our internal health. Conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and itchy skin are more than surface issues—they often point to deeper imbalances in the body. At The ON Acupuncture, we take a holistic approach to skin health by addressing both the symptoms and their root causes using acupuncture and traditional Chinese therapies.
Traditional Chinese Medicine View of Skin Health
In Traditional Chinese Medicine Perth (TCM), skin conditions are linked to disharmonies in internal organs like the Lungs, Liver, Spleen, and Kidneys. TCM sees skin outbreaks as signs of heat, dampness, or blood stagnation, often worsened by emotional stress, poor digestion, or hormonal imbalances.
By identifying the pattern behind your skin concern, acupuncture can be tailored to reduce inflammation, balance hormones, regulate immune responses, and support detoxification from within.
How Acupuncture Helps Treat Skin Conditions
Skin Acupuncture Perth works by stimulating specific points on the body to restore the flow of Qi (vital energy) and blood. For skin health, it offers several therapeutic benefits:
-
Reduces systemic inflammation that contributes to redness, swelling, and irritation
-
Regulates hormones involved in acne breakouts and other imbalances
-
Improves digestion and elimination, crucial for detoxifying the skin
-
Enhances circulation, allowing nutrients to nourish the skin from the inside
Scientific studies show acupuncture can improve symptoms of eczema, itchiness, and psoriasis by modulating immune responses and reducing stress, a key trigger in many skin disorders.
Complementary Therapies: Scrubbing & Cupping
We may combine acupuncture with scrubbing therapy Perth, a gentle exfoliation technique that removes dead skin cells, improves lymphatic drainage, and supports detoxification. Additionally, cupping therapy Perth can be used to stimulate circulation and reduce stagnation, especially in cases of chronic skin congestion or sensitivity.
Our treatments are always customized and performed with utmost care to avoid irritation, ensuring even the most sensitive skin types benefit safely.
Diet and Lifestyle Guidance
Many skin issues are exacerbated by diet, stress, and environmental toxins. At The ON Acupuncture, we provide guidance on:
-
Foods to reduce internal heat and dampness
-
Stress management techniques to prevent flare-ups
-
Natural skincare practices that support healing
Our goal is not just to manage symptoms but to help you achieve clear, radiant skin through long-term internal balance.
