What It Means To be a Member of the International TCM Dermatology Association.
As a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with a focus on dermatology, Seth Drake treats skin conditions by viewing the body as an interconnected system. In holistic dermatology, skin health is not seen as an isolated issue but rather a reflection of a person’s overall well-being. Imbalances in digestion, the immune system, or stress levels can manifest as skin problems. Therefore, treating these underlying causes is key to achieving long-term relief.
Seth’s approach goes beyond simply managing symptoms. He takes into account the whole person, considering aspects such as gut health, hormonal balance, lifestyle, and diet. By focusing on root causes, Seth’s treatments help restore balance to the body, aiming to eliminate the need for constant symptom management and reduce the frequency of flare-ups.
At East West Dermatology, Seth creates personalized treatment plans that incorporate Chinese herbal medicine and dietary recommendations to address each patient’s unique condition. This integrative approach is designed to support overall health while targeting the specific internal imbalances that contribute to skin problems.
