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 many pores. In addition to having the protective function of defending against external evil invasions, it also has multiple functions such as secretion, absorption, penetration, excretion, and sensation. TCM fumigation therapy (also known as TCM vapor bath and vapor therapy) uses these physiological characteristics of the skin, allowing drugs to be absorbed through the surface layer of the skin, penetrate through the stratum corneum, and transfer through the dermis into the blood circulation to exert pharmacological effects. TCM fumigation integrates various functions such as TCM therapy, heat therapy, vapor therapy, and TCM ion渗透therapy, combining temperature, humidity, and drug concentration, treating different diseases according to their symptoms, and effectively treating various skin diseases.
Thousands of years of TCM practice have shown that TCM fumigation therapy highlights the characteristics of TCM and specialized strengths in the treatment of skin diseases. Compared with conventional therapies, it has the following three advantages:
Medication through the skin can avoid irritation to the oral mucosa, digestive tract, and gastrointestinal tract, reducing the burden on the liver and kidneys. Drugs target symptoms and directly reach the affected area, thereby increasing the utilization of drugs.
Natural medicines are green and environmentally friendly, safe and reliable, with unique treatments based on syndrome differentiation, providing medical effects that cannot be achieved by oral medications.
Fumigation expels evil toxins, making the treatment process an enjoyable experience akin to a "TCM sauna." This helps eliminate the pain and discomfort of patients and greatly mobilizes the patient's self-healing ability to fight and remove diseases.
TCM fumigation therapy has good therapeutic effects on the following skin diseases: psoriasis, ichthyosis, eczema, acne, post-herpetic neuralgia of herpes zoster, flat warts, neurodermatitis, cutaneous amyloidosis, erythema nodosum, chilblains, and pruritus.
Health care franchise experts remind that TCM fumigation therapy is not suitable for the following types of patients: patients with acute infectious diseases, severe heart disease, hypertension, severe anemia and dizziness, arteriosclerosis, pregnant women and women during menstruation, those with bleeding tendencies on the skin, and those allergic to drugs.
