Seasonal Skin “Allergies” and the Search for Balance

from Chinese Medicine Matters · host Mayway Herbs

Many skin flare-ups that appear with the changing seasons are assumed to be allergies, but that is not always the case. In this episode, David Heron explores how shifts in temperature, humidity, sunlight, and daily habits can aggravate underlying imbalances and contribute to common conditions such as eczema, urticaria, perioral dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis.Drawing from both modern dermatology and classical Chinese medicine, this discussion looks at the difference between true allergic reactions and broader seasonal skin reactivity. David also shares how Chinese medicine approaches these patterns with greater clarity, helping practitioners support skin resilience and restore balance through seasonal change.You can access the written article here: https://www.mayway.com/blogs/articles/seasonal-skin-allergies-and-the-search-for-balanceDavid Heron can be reached at www.oaklandhillsacupuncture.comSee our Monthly Practitioner Discounts https://www.mayway.com/monthly-specialsSign up for the Mayway Newsletterhttps://www.mayway.com/newsletter-signupFollow ushttps://www.facebook.com/MaywayHerbs/https://www.instagram.com/maywayherbs/
