Skin disorders in their various forms are amongst the most common diseases suffered by mankind, accounting for close to 25% of all visits to a medical practitioner. Despite this prevalence and the resources put into this field, many patients remain dissatisfied with the conventional treatments available to them, and look elsewhere for solutions.

After 35 years of clinical experience, I am totally convinced that Chinese herbal medicine has a very real and enduring answer for an enormous number of sufferers of most of the common diseases of the skin. It can induce spectacular and lasting change in a whole range of intractable conditions such as eczema, rosacea, acne and psoriasis, and yet due to a lack of specialist training and clinical experience, numerous practitioners of Chinese medicine fail to achieve optimal results that are well within their grasp.

This three-hour Fundamentals of Dermatology will outline the essentials of treating skin disease with Chinese medicine, illustrated throughout with hundreds of detailed images highlighting the importance of morphology of lesions in pattern diagnosis. Several case examples from my own practice will also be presented with detailed analysis of formulae construction and adjustments as treatment proceeds.
