During the autumn season, some patients will notice skin dryness and more skin irritations. This is because the skin is a part of the lung organ system that we maintain and nourish during this time of the year. During this season, the skin could become more sensitive, more irritated, and patients will experience more drying and cracking. For this reason we treat the skin and lung organ systems during the fall.

 Exofactors For Skin Health

Think about the temperature and climate and ask yourself: Do I live in cold weather and need to warm the body, or hot weather and need to cool the body? Too much or too little sun exposure can affect and harm all parts of the body because the skin is an organ system and closely related to all other organs in the body. If one always staying indoors and away from sunlight, the body is deprived of the sun’s energy. However, over exposure to the sun is not healthy either because it can lead to skin cancer and various skin diseases. This is especially true for males before the age of 64 because men in this age bracket are hot in nature and must work to cool off the body.

Patient Testimonial: Eczema

"Natural medicine is the way to go because this is the best medicine I've ever had!"

At four months old, my son developed eczema on his cheeks. When he was old enough to crawl, it spread all over his neck, arms, and legs. He was covered in big, red spots that inflamed throughout his body. His skin was dry, flaky, and scaly that looked and felt like an alligator. There was not a spot on his arms, hands, and leg that wasn't eczema. Everything I did for my son did not help. He was miserable. His eczema kept him up all day and all night, causing him to be restless. I was restless, too. 

When his pediatrician told me that it was just a baby rash, which is common in infants, it will eventually go away. Since it didn't go away and it came back worse than before, that was when his pediatrician diagnosed my son with eczema. What came across my mind was “are you kidding me!” I couldn't believe such a thing could happen to my precious little boy. I wasn't aware of what eczema was or have I seen them before so seeing my son acquire such condition was unbelievable.

We used everything from over the counter antihistamine cream, and body oil to prescription steroid cream and nothing helped to relieve the pain he was experiencing. His primary pediatrician even increased his steroid cream dosage and recommended other over-the-counter creams, but it just made his eczema worse. I felt hopeless for my son. Even with intensive research on eczema, everything I did for him, including his doctor recommendation and home remedies for eczema did not work. It was just a temporary relief. There was nothing modern medicine could do to help my little boy. The inflammation was unbearable that it made him irritable, grumpy, and itchier that he couldn't stay asleep for more than 15-30 minutes at a time. All I wanted was my baby boy to be happy, but the eczema was controlling his life.

One day, my neighbor recommended that I visit Agape Natural Health in Orange County because they have a friend who had eczema and they are no longer suffering from bad scaly, itchy and dry skin by doing acupuncture. I was skeptical when my neighbor told me about acupuncture because I didn't believe in natural medicine. Since I’ve exhausted all my options, I was desperate to try other alternatives. After visiting Agape Natural Health website, some babies and adults suffered from eczema and seeing images of their result were incredible. It lead me to believe there was hope for my son to be a joyful boy again.

At sixteen months old, I took my son to Agape Natural Health. My first impression of the clinic felt very welcoming, like home. The staff members were friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. They answered all my questions and concerns. After our consultation with Dr. Huang, we began treatment right away. Dr. Huang was very gentle towards my son and showed so much love towards the both of us. Dr. Huang prescribed my son with children's natural herbals and natural cream for the skin. The cream worked like a miracle! After applying the cream all over the eczema portion of his body, two days later, the red bump that was throughout his legs went away. I couldn't believe it! 

Coming into Agape Natural Health for acupuncture treatment, all I hoped for was to relieve my son itchiness and for him to get sleep but in return, I gained more than I asked for from acupuncture. Before, my son would never smile. He was always grumpy, angry, inactive, and crying because of his eczema. After doing treatments every week with Dr. Huang, my son went through a transformation. Five months of acupuncture treatment, his severe eczema is now 96% better! I couldn’t believe it, I wasn’t expecting his eczema to go away. Thinking “is this real?” because the result was out of this world. My son is now happier than ever. He is now able to nap for three hours straight and stay asleep for more than 4-5 hours a night. My baby boy is back to normal, and he is always smiling! 

At first, my friends and I were skeptical about acupuncture, but my husband was supportive of having our son try natural medicine. Now, my friends and family is 100% believer in natural medicine. They were impressed with the results my son received from natural medicine. They noticed significant changes in him. He is more playful, outgoing, his skin is better, and looking a lot healthier. They couldn’t believe that acupuncture, natural herbs, and cream could do such wonder to the human body internally and externally compared to modern medicine. 

For a person that didn’t believe in natural medicine, I am now 100% a firm believer in natural medicine. I would recommend anyone that is going through depression, those that are sleepless, have no energy or overweight to see Dr. Huang at Agape Natural Health because it’s better to do natural medicine than modern medicine. If they are skeptical about it, take it from the person that didn’t believe it at first and witnessed it first hand on the miracle that it did to my son. I would share them his story and show them pictures to help them realize that natural medicine is the way to go because this is the best medicine I’ve ever had. 

Sincerely,

Temperature Control and Regulation

In a sense, the body is a small universe with a heat and energy giver, exemplifying the sun within a solar system. The hypothalamus of the brain acts as a “thermostat” to control body temperature. This homeostatic mechanism maintains 37 degrees Celsius (or 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit) in a healthy person. It not only controls the external temperature but also internal temperature of important organ systems.

When the body is exposed to a cold environment and the temperature begins to drop, the hypothalamus senses this change and triggers heat-generating and heat-conserving activities. Small groups of muscle cells are stimulated to involuntarily contract - an action called shivering. These muscular contractions produce heat, which warm the body. At the same time, blood vessels within the skin also constrict to reduce blood flow, which allow heat to be retained in deeper tissue. 

Similarly, if a person becomes over heated, the temperature control center of the brain triggers a series of changes that promote loss of body heat. Sweat glands in the skin are stimulated to secrete watery perspiration. As the water evaporates from the surface, heat is carried away and the skin is cooled down. At the same time, the brain center causes blood vessels in the skin to dilate. This allows the blood that carries heat from deeper tissue to reach the surface where more heat is lost to the outside. Also, the brain center stimulates increased heart rate, causing a greater volume of blood to move into the surface vessels and an increase in breathing rate allowing more heat carrying air to be expelled from the lungs. 

The 14 vertical organ systems (female reproductive, male reproductive, liver, gallbladder, heart, small intestine, pericardium, lymphatic, stomach, spleen, lung, large intestine, kidney, and urinary bladder) have different internal temperatures, as do the seasons. If there is an imbalance of internal environment, the organ systems show different symptoms or illnesses. The internal temperature variations of foods and herbs are able to balance the internal temperatures of the organ systems.
