How it works
Itchy skin
Itchy skin is one of the most common symptoms of eczema. Reducing factors that contribute to itchy skin can help to soothe the skin and aid healing.1
Traditional Chinese medicine and dry skin
According to TCM, the skin is nourished by the blood. When there is a blood deficiency, TCM believes that dry skin can develop.
Dry skin is often present in skin conditions such as mild eczema because affected skin has a reduced ability to retain moisture.1
Dong quai improves skin health
Dong quai is traditionally taken to enhance blood health in TCM, thus relieving skin dryness to improve skin health. It’s also traditionally taken in TCM to help support the regeneration of the skin, and to reduce mild allergic skin symptoms including hives.
