Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on the physical and emotional well-being of the patient and aims to increase your chi — your energy or life force. It integrates acupuncture, massage, herbs, breathing exercises and nutritional advice to help heal imbalances. The principle of balance (or tao as it is often referred to) is at the core of Chinese medicine: the two opposing yet complementary forces known as yin and yang help the therapist diagnose the conditions presented. The practitioner may analyse your pulse and look at your eyes and tongue to make his diagnosis.
(Some of the herbs a Chinese medicine doctor give you can smell and taste quite different to anything you may be used to! Most practitioners will give you the herbs in their dry form for you to take home and boil, then tell you to drink the infusion a certain number of times a day.)
Traditional Chinese medicine is known to treat all physical conditions such as infections and illness as well as psychological conditions like depression and anxiety. Chinese herbs can help with coughs and colds, eczema, acne, asthma, bronchitis, digestive complaints, high blood pressure, cystitis, insomnia, menstrual and menopausal problems, psoriasis and infections. The practitioner will usually combine the use of herbs with acupuncture and nutritional advice.

You can also treat acne with the following Chinese methods:
Cure Acne With Root water
Root water is a Chinese herbal product obtained from the forests of China. It is very potent in fighting off skin blemishes. Root water is composed of root herbs and alcohol. It is supposed to be applied on the skin with the use of a cotton ball. Root water is known to force the skin to renew facial tissues. As such, it is best used with water-based skin moisturizers because it can dry the skin if used regularly for one to two weeks.
Anti-acne capsules with Chinese Herbs
If you go to a Chinese pharmacy and ask for a treatment for acne, they are more likely to produce a Chinese Herb capsule.
