DAY ONE:

(i) Revision & test on previous module's material

(ii) Atopic Eczema (part I & II)

This very common allergic disease is the most frequently seen form of eczema in the clinic. Over the past 30 years it has reached epidemic proportions in industrialised nations. When well applied, Chinese medicine can have the most dramatic benefit on this distressing and stubborn disease.

DAY THREE:

(i) Vitiligo

Another common skin disease (affecting 2% of the population) characterised by loss of pigment of the skin, with the subsequent development of white patches of skin. Although a very difficult disease to clear, none the less treatment with Chinese herbs is superior to others methods available.

(ii) Urticaria

Amongst the 20 most common skin diseases experienced by as many as 20% of the population. It is characterised by transient, oedematous, itchy papules and wheals. Although the acute form is well treated with biomedicine, the chronic form is not. Chronic urticaria can be dramatically helped with the correct formulation of herbs.
