Our skin is our outer covering, just like the bark on a tree. Actually, in a number of Asian languages, the words are synonymous. Occasionally, a skin condition is due to an abrasion or contact allergy but if it lingers it may be reflecting an inner state of disharmony. If there is heat and itching the condition may be reflecting an inner state of pathogenic heat that is trying to vent through the skin. If the condition is dry it may also reflect heat, but like a dry river bed it may indicate a condition of lack of water where there just is not enough fluid to come up and moisturize the skin. Again, with this system of medicine everything is reveled through proper assessment by the trained practitioner the internal condition of each individual internal organ and system in order to figure out why a condition is arising in the body.

Let’s explore some common issues manifesting on the skin and how we might go about treating them.
