Guest guest Posted August 19, 2002 Report Share Posted August 19, 2002 Hi Kathe, Because chinese medicine has a different diagnostic system and there are many causes for acne it is hard to say one herb is good. We tend to use formulas and treat the root where acne is only a symptom. The two most common causes are stomach heat and Liver/gall bladder stagnation or heat. I have used the formulas chai hu shu gan wan, long dan xie gan wan, xiao yao wan and margarite pills depending on the diagnosis and signs at a time. this is all used in conjuntion with acupuncture which is an important part of the process, especially if there is liver qi stagnation. bob --- nkbaker2001 <nkbaker2001 wrote: > Hi I'm new to the group.
