Dermatology in Chinese Medicine
The Huangdi Neijing states: 'The Heart is the foundation of life and the source of mental vitality; its radiance is manifested in the face, and its vitality flows through the blood vessels.' As the facial skin is the thinnest part of the body, changes in the state of the blood vessels directly impact facial health. Since blood vessels extend beneath the skin throughout the entire body, skin health is intimately linked to vascular health. In TCM, vascular health is governed by the 'Heart,' which encompasses the physical heart, the cardiovascular system, blood, and psychological well-being.
Therefore, we advocate for a diagnostic and therapeutic approach to dermatology and medical aesthetics that focuses on the cardiovascular system, blood circulation, and psychological state.
RCMP Ma Wing Lam is the Honorary Secretary of Association for Integrative Aesthetic Medicine, Hong Kong (AIAM). He is dedicated to promoting dermatology and aesthetic medicine from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, especially in psycho-dermatology, where he organically connects skin and the psychology of the heart in traditional Chinese medicine to deal with complex system problems with interdisciplinary knowledge.
