🌹 Rosacea in Traditional Chinese Medicine
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that develops slowly over time and often worsens if the root causes aren’t addressed.
Clinically, we see dilated vessels on the cheeks and/or nose, persistent redness (sometimes purplish), and thickening of the skin in more advanced stages.
🌿 TCM Perspective – Common Causes:
Greasy, processed foods
Excess sugar and alcohol
Smoking
Weak Kidney Essence, failing to anchor Heat and nourish the skin
Underlying Heat and Blood stasis in the face
🎯 Treatment Options:
🧴 Yi Shao Paste – apply locally to the affected area daily
⚠️ Lifestyle & Prevention Are Key:
Avoid alcohol, sugar, greasy foods, and smoking
Avoid excessive sun exposure ☀️
Avoid extreme temperatures (hot or cold)
Minimize emotional stress, which can flare facial Heat
💡 Clinical reminder: Rosacea is rarely just a skin issue — it reflects deeper constitutional imbalance, especially involving Heat and Essence.

🤰 Breech Baby in TCM & Clinical Practice
A breech presentation means baby isn’t positioned head-down for birth, increasing the chances of requiring a C-section. Understanding the type of breech helps guide expectations and management:
👶 Types of Breech Presentation:
Frank Breech (Extended): Baby’s legs are straight upward, feet by the ears — the most common type.
Complete Breech (Flexed): Baby sits “cross-legged,” with hips and knees flexed.
Footling Breech: One or both feet present first — more common in premature births.
🌿 Treatment Options:
💼 External Cephalic Version (ECV)
Doctor manually turns the baby
Can be uncomfortable
~50% success rate
🧘♀️ Chiropractic Care
Helps loosen ligaments
Can create more space for the baby to turn naturally
🌱 Acupuncture & Moxibustion
Safe, gentle, and one of the most effective complementary approaches.
European studies show ~75% success rates, especially when started around 34–36 weeks.
Moxa on BL 67 is the classic treatment to encourage fetal repositioning.
✨ As always, ensure patients are under proper obstetric care before providing treatment.
