Diagnosing Psoriasis in Chinese Medicine
Skin inflammation and disorders can be caused by hundreds of different conditions, so diagnosing psoriases or any other skin condition requires an examination of skin sells under a microscope. For the Chinese medical practitioner, diagnosing psoriases and treating psoriasis depends on the presenting symptoms and signs of imbalance in the body. Because Chinese medical techniques and herbal medicines can address the root of the imbalance causing psoriasis, TCM is very effective at alleviating psoriasis.
Causes of Psoriasis According
to Chinese Medicine
The causes of psoriasis in Chinese
medicine generally include an
energetic imbalance in the Metal
Element, as the Metal Element
governs over the Lungs, Large
Intestines, and Skin. A Chinese
medical diagnosis will often
recognize toxic heat at the Blood
Level and require cooling herbs
internally that dispel Heat Toxins
and Internal Wind Heat.
Western Medicine has yet to clearly
identify the cause of psoriasis, but
evidence is growing that psoriasis
is likely caused by systemic factors
including immune system factors
and stress factors; this new view is
quickly replacing the view of psoriasis
as a simple skin disorder where
cells reproduce unchecked. In
Chinese medicine, all disorders
have a root imbalance, and the
immune system is just one of the
systems and strategies recognized
by Chinese medicine; this is likely
why TCM is so effective at addressing
psoriasis.
Types of psoriasis according to Chinese medicine:
- Psoriasis due to Wind Heat- Plaque psoriasis presents with lesions that are red at the base and covered by silvery scales that are very itchy with this type of Wind-Heat psoriasis. Internal Heat can begin to affect the Blood Level as it worsens and becomes more chronic.
- Psoriasis due to Blood Heat Erythrodermic psoriasis is indicated with widespread reddening and easy scaling of the skin. Activity leading to overheating of the body often triggers this type of psoriasis with a worsening condition of ‘Blood Thick’ and Blood Stagnation in Chinese medicine.
- Psoriasis Due to Damp Heat- Inverse psoriasis presents with elements of Spleen Qi Deficiency and internal dampness with smooth, red patches that generally develop in folds of the skin around the genitals, under the breasts, or in armpits as well as other areas that become damp with sweat. Another Damp Heat type of psoriasis is Pustular psoriasis where blisters of pus appear on the skin; this is often triggered by medications, infections, stress, or exposure to chemicals.
- Metal Element Lung Deficiency Leading to Psoriasis - Guttate psoriasis lesions are small, drop-shaped lesions that appear on the trunk, limbs, and scalp. Guttate psoriasis is most often triggered by upper respiratory infections due to weak Lung Qi according to Chinese medicine. The lung infection would be
