Treating eczema the Traditional Chinese Medicine way



This morning, I visited a TCM practitioner for my second acupuncture. I've what the National Skin Center specialists called eczema, a skin condition.
They couldn't find a cure for my condition and therefore I turned to a TCM practitioner for help.
The TCM was recommended by a ex classmate who also had the same problem. In fact, his condition was worse than mine in that he would scratch until the affected part bleed. He was cured by acupuncture after a few months.
I like the TCM practitioner. He is in his 50s and a soft spoken reassuring and confident man. He told me my condition should improve as times goes by. The queue at his clinic is as usual long. By the time I arrived at his clinic (9:30am) I was number 20 in the queue. His fees including medication and acupuncture is about $40. He has 30 years of TCM practice and a graduate from a university in China.
I hope he could find a cure for my condition.
I used to take antihistamine tablets which could temporarily stop the itching but it has side effects.
If the treatment is successful, I will put his name and address of his clinic in this blog.
