The health care franchise expert recommends that people with skin diseases can use traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) fumigation therapy. The skin is the largest organ of the human body, with a large area and numerous pores. In addition to its protective function of defending against external pathogenic factors, it also has multiple functions such as secretion, absorption, permeation, excretion, and sensation. TCM fumigation therapy (also known as TCM vapor bath and vapor therapy) utilizes these physiological characteristics of the skin, allowing the medicine to be absorbed through the surface layer of the skin, penetrate through the stratum corneum, and transport through the dermis into the bloodstream to exert pharmacological effects. TCM fumigation integrates various functions such as TCM therapy, heat therapy, vapor therapy, and TCM ion penetration therapy. Characterized by a combination of temperature, humidity, and drug concentration, it treats diseases according to symptoms, effectively treating various skin diseases.
Centuries of TCM practice have shown that TCM fumigation therapy highlights the characteristics of TCM and specialty expertise in the treatment of skin diseases. Compared with conventional therapies, it has the following three major advantages:
Medicine administered through the skin avoids irritation to the oral mucosa, digestive tract, and gastrointestinal system, reduces the burden on the liver and kidneys, targets the disease directly, reaches the affected area promptly, thus enhancing the utilization of the medicine.
Natural medicines are environmentally friendly, safe, and reliable. They offer unique therapeutic effects based on differential diagnosis and treatment, providing medical functions that cannot be achieved by orally taken medications.
Fumigation expels toxins, making the treatment process an enjoyable experience akin to a "TCM sauna." This helps alleviate the suffering and discomfort of patients and significantly enhances the patient's inherent ability to fight diseases.
TCM fumigation therapy is effective for the following skin diseases: psoriasis, ichthyosis, eczema, acne, post-herpetic neuralgia from shingles, flat warts, neurodermatitis, cutaneous amyloidosis, erythema nodosum, chilblains, and pruritus.
Health care franchise experts remind that TCM fumigation treatment is not suitable for the following groups of patients: those with acute infectious diseases, severe heart disease, hypertension, severe anemia and dizziness, arteriosclerosis, pregnant women and women during menstruation, individuals with a tendency to bleed from the skin, and those allergic to drugs.
