Dermatology
Skin disorders are among the most common diseases in the Western world, accounting for 1 in 5 outpatient visits. Despite this prevalence and the resources available in this field, many patients are dissatisfied with conventional treatments. Chinese herbal medicine has a very real and enduring history in transforming and healing a whole range of intractable conditions such as Eczema, Acne, Urticaria and Psoriasis, Asthma, Rosacea, Vitiligo, Alopecia, and more.
At Points of Health we carefully diagnose the disease and using the holistic practice of East Asian Medicine to create a plan to heal the root of the imbalance while systematically clearing the symptoms. The foundational treatment modality used in East Asian Medicine dermatology is Herbal Medicine. We maintain a full Chinese Herbal Pharmacy in order to formulate and fill customized herbal formulas for internal and external use. We use these formulae along with topical herbal products such as ointments, creams, and washes to ensure maximum potency and efficacy of treatment.
Points of Health is the one of few clinics in Central and Southern California specializing in the treatment of complex dermatological conditions using East Asian Medicine.
