This practical, fully illustrated handbook is the second in our series on dermatological diseases and their treatment with Chinese herbal medicine by Sabine Schmitz. This volume examines the cause and treatment of acne and rosacea from a Chinese medicine perspective and provides advice for practitioners on their treatments in their daily practice. It covers prescriptions and treatment options for all types of acne, rosacea and TCM syndromes, detailed case studies and colour photographs of the skin and tongue for precise diagnosis. The book also contains instructions on external applications such as pastes, washes or ointments, as well as detailed diet instructions and advice. Easy to read, use and navigate, Treating Acne and Rosacea with Chinese Herbal Medicine is the perfect resource for anyone treating skin diseases in their daily practice, regardless of their specialization. 

Sabine Schmitz (M. Med. TCM) is a graduate of the Zhèjiang Chinese Medical University in Hángzhou, China where she majored in Chinese medical dermatology. Her enormous knowledge treasures from China as well as her many years of experience benefit many patients with chronic and complex skin diseases, but also many other patients with other diseases. Earlier in her career, Sabine worked in hospitals, laboratories, universities, national and international clinical research for 15 years. Sabine is based in Cologne, Germany and has a busy TCM practice specializing in skin diseases, gynecological disorders and infertility treatment. She mainly works with Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture.

Not only does this book provide a practical path to a deeper understanding of the treatment of acne and rosacea, but it does so in a way that is both learned and accessible. Ms. Schmitz introduces, explains and teases out complex concepts with clarity. As a practitioner who regularly treats skin conditions, I find the addition of her case studies to be a generous and invaluable tool allowing all who read this fine book the opportunity to greatly improve their clinical outcomes. - Kerri Westhauser, DACM, L.Ac., Associate Professor and Director of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine, Maryland University of Integrative Health, MD, USA
