Acne is the most common dermatological condition affecting people today. However, Chinese medicine has recently made great progress in the treatment of this condition. The current perspective presented in this book goes far beyond the standard patterns of wind heart, lung heart, and blood heart.

Alopecia also known as hair loss, is another common dermatological condition. Chinese medicine has a particular understanding of hair loss that is quite different from the current biomedical view.

The general symptoms in both conditions are associated with what is referred to in Chinese medicine as bi syndrome. Combined treatments utilizing Chinese medicine, acupuncture, massage, and physical therapy show excellent results in reducing both pain and uric acid levels, while also improving joint function and rates of recurrence.

The clinical diagnostic and treatment methods presented here are based on many centuries of clinical observation combined with the results of modern research. By providing the time-honored clinical methods of Chinese traditional medicine, the text will undoubtedly benefit the many patients who suffer with these conditions.
