Chinese Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture in Action vs Atopic Eczema

There is a Chinese medicine clinic in Quezon City, the name is Centro Maginhawa: Acupuncture, Herbs, Qi Gong, Health Foods at 97 Maginhawa, Teachers’ Village. Tel 02-921-7649. If Chinese medicine is your thing, this may be for you.

Here is a picture of their front gate:

And here is an example of their prescription for Atopic Eczema. Unfortunately, I cannot read Chinese. Patient takes this to the nearest Chinese herbal store and this is mixed in store.

Here is an example of an article written in the Journal of Chinese Medicine in 2005: Atopic Eczema “Wind of the four crooks” by Mazin Al-Khafaji.

ATOPIC ECZEMA WIND OF THE FOUR CROOKS

From my point of view at this moment, I do not understand Chinese medicine. I post this merely out of curiosity as to how this establishment chooses to go about healing people. What I do know at the bottom of the article it says “atopic eczema can be so successfully controlled and managed this way.”

Of course long time readers may know my opinion is I always want total and final CURE. But for some people, maybe “controlled” and “managed” is victory enough. Hey, whatever makes you happy!
