During seasonal transitions, fluctuations between sudden cold and heat, or dry and damp conditions are common. Rapid climate changes can easily stress the body’s immune system and skin barrier, making conditions such as hives, eczema, and shingles more likely to flare.
Western medicine typically uses antihistamines or steroids for quick relief of itchiness and inflammation, but long-term use can thin the skin and weaken the immune system. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), by contrast, addresses root causes—restoring internal balance by regulating the body’s constitution and organ functions to naturally improve skin issues.
