In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the skin is considered a reflection of your internal health, particularly the balance of your organ systems and vital energy (qi). When internal harmony is disrupted, it often manifests as skin issues ranging from acne and eczema to premature aging an dullness. The comprehensive webinar bridges ancient TCM wisdom with dermatological skin conditions to help you understand your unique skin constitution and create a personalized dietary approach for lasting skin health.

4. Comprehensive dietary therapy for each skin pattern – specific foods to embrace and avoid, optimal cooking methods, beneficial flavours, and meal timing strategies according to TCM principles;

4. Addressing modern inflammation and food sensitivities through a TCM lens – how compromised immune systems, from pharmaceutical use, environmental toxins, and processes food qualities create food sensitivities that manifest as skin conditions, and how this relates to TCM patterns;

5. Practical implementation tools including seasonal skin care adjustments, and simple tongue observational diagnostic techniques to assess your skin constitution;

6. Lifestyle practices for radiant skin – sleep optimization, stress management through a TCM lens, and daily habits that support long-term skin vitality from within.
