这几个穴位，祛满脸痤疮，还你光滑好肌肤

"Persistent acne on the face,acne,and no amount of ointment seems to work. Does Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) have a good solution?" Today, let's talk about how to manage acne and solve this "face problem" from the root.

Pimples, scientifically known as acne, generally grow in areas rich in sebaceous glands such as the face, chest, back, and shoulders. They mainly manifest as comedones, papules, pustules, and cysts. Many people think it's due to "internal heat" or "excessive oil secretion," but in TCM, the causes of acne are complex and by no means due to a single factor.

In TCM classics, acne is called "lung-wind comedones" or "wine-acne." Although the names sound poetic, the causes are quite complex. TCM believes that the root cause of acne lies in the dysfunction of the viscera, especiallythe Lungs, Spleen, Liver, and Kidneys.functional abnormalities.

1. Lung-Heat Type

Acne on the forehead and bridge of the nose.The Lungs govern the skin and hair; staying up late, smoking, and a fondness for spicy food easily lead tothe accumulation of lung heat, which steams upward to the face.The pimples are small red papules accompanied by mild pain, and there may also be symptoms such as dry mouth, sore throat, and dry stools.

2. Spleen-Stomach Damp-Heat Type

Acne on the cheeks and sides of the chin.Irregular diet, overeating, and frequent consumption of fried, sweet, or raw and cold foods increase the burden on the Spleen and Stomach,causing damp-heat to generate internally and rise upward.The pimples are relatively large and soft, often with pus heads, accompanied by bad breath, abdominal bloating, and sticky, unformed stools.

3. Liver-Qi Stagnation Type

Acne on the chin and temples.High stress and emotional instability easily lead toLiver-Qi stagnation,which over time turns into fire that disturbs the face. The acne is stubborn and prone to recurrence, often accompanied by irritability, chest tightness, and in women, potential menstrual irregularities.

4. Blood Stasis and Phlegm Congestion Type

Nodular and cystic acne.Acne that does not heal for a long time and recurs repeatedly can lead toobstructed Qi and blood, resulting in blood stasis,compounded by the accumulation of damp-heat and phlegm. The pimples are hard and noticeably painful, often leaving acne marks and pits after they subside.

--Shared by a friend from the Zhou Erjin School

My eldest child started getting acne at 15. My family insisted on seeing a doctor, and after taking over ten doses of TCM, it eased a bit, but it started again as soon as the medicine stopped. I gave the child moxibustion on the navel and the Four Beauty Points for two days; half the acne went down, and the rest scabbed over. I will continue until all the acne on the child's face is gone. Many thanks to the teacher for this great method!
