What if the key to healing stubborn hormonal acne wasn't just in creams or diets, but in balancing your emotions and reconnecting with the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine? Dr. Linh Love, a doctor of Chinese medicine and expert herbalist, believes that healing begins from within. 

In our recent conversation, Dr. Linh revealed how stress, emotions, and physical imbalances are deeply intertwined, and how addressing emotional health can clear the skin and improve overall well-being.

Let’s dive into how this ancient Chinese wisdom tackles acne from the inside out, using herbs, acupressure, and diet to restore balance.

The Connection Between Emotional Balance and Hormonal Acne

Dr. Linh shared how Chinese medicine views the body as an interconnected system, where emotions like stress and anger can directly impact the liver, leading to skin issues like hormonal acne. She explained how addressing emotional imbalances helps clear the skin from within, and offered practical tips to support emotional well-being.

Chinese Herbs for Skin Health

Dr. Linh discussed the role of specific Chinese herbs, such as ginger and mint, in cooling the body and supporting skin health. She highlighted how these herbs work on an energetic level to help clear heat and balance the body, particularly for acne and other skin issues.

Using Acupressure for Healing

We also explored the power of acupressure in promoting better energy flow and relieving stress. Dr. Linh shared how simple acupressure points can help clear blockages in the body and improve both emotional and physical health, particularly for stress-induced skin issues.

The Role of Diet in Chinese Medicine

Food is considered medicine in Chinese medicine, as it should be throughout all medicine, and Dr. Linh emphasized the importance of a balanced diet to support detoxification and overall wellness. She shared her own experience of healing hormonal acne by focusing on foods that support the liver and digestive system.
