Eczema

Eczema flare ups can be triggered by certain foods, changes in the weather, detergents, skin products, stress or even exercise. It can sometimes be difficult to pinpoint what your trigger is, and therefore may be difficult to avoid. While avoiding triggers can help reduce eczema flare ups, finding an underlying cause is also important.

Chinese medicine is a whole body system, so a consultation with Michaela will include a detailed health review. This helps to gain an understanding of what is going on in all the connected systems of the body, and to find where there may be imbalances or disharmony.

Treatments are completely personalised to suit your needs at the time of the appointment. This may include a combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping or external herbal applications designed to soothe irritated skin. As food and some allergies can trigger and worsen eczema, Michaela will discuss your diet with you, and suggest subtle tweaks to the diet that may help ease the impact on the system.
