Dry Eczema Formula came out of the “Medical Books Compilation by Category” edited by Weng Zao in the Qing Dynasty in 1830. The formula tonifies and cools Blood, moistens Dryness, expels Wind and relieves itching. It is used for various (chronic) skin conditions characterized by dull or dark red skin lesions, infiltration and hypertrophy, lichenification, itching and scaling. It is a formulation for the help of dry eczema, dermatitis and itchy skin rashes.

ECZEMA AND DERMATITIS

Typical symptoms:

eczema and dermatitis

Disease description:

Eczema is non-contagious inflammation of the skin (Latin: dermatitis) with dry and itchy skin. Possible triggers of eczema include oily skin, infections with yeast fungi or staphylococci, a disorder of the immune system as well as psychological stress and hereditary predisposition. The most common form of eczema is atopic eczema. Atopic eczema is the result of a lack of oil in the skin, which normally prevents the skin from being dry and fragile. Symptoms of eczema can include redness, cracks, flaking, blistering, swelling.

Explanation according to the Traditional Chinese Medicine:

Acute and subacute eczema and dermatitis are mostly caused by external Wind, Damp, or Heat invading the skin, and chronic ones are mostly caused by Blood Deficiency and Dryness, or Spleen Deficiency and Dampness.

Disease description:

An acute or intermittent redness of the skin is called a skin rash. Skin rashes are itchy and discolour the skin red in a very short time, can affect anyone and usually come as a surprise. There are as many manifestations as there are causes. Possible causes include children’s diseases, allergies, intolerance to medicines and general infectious diseases.

Explanation according to the Traditional Chinese Medicine:

Chinese medicine believes that itching skin is caused by Wind Evils interfering with the Ying and Wei functions of skin (Ying is nutrition stay under the skin which nourishes Wei, and Wei is a function of skin). The occurrence of Wind Evil can be an External Wind, Damp, Heat, or Cold which attack the skin and take advantage of the Qi Deficiency, resulting in impaired Ying and Wei function; or due to Blood Heat or Blood Deficiency and Blood Dryness, which generate Wind, Qi and Blood disorder and interfere with the skin’s Ying and Wei function.
