    Dealing with Acne sucks! It affects us all (seriously, apparently at least 90% of people have experienced pimples or acne once in their life). While some might be more severe than others, it's fair to say, no one really likes it and wants it to go away. But rather than picking on acne (pun intended), maybe it's a form of your body telling you that there's something wrong. This week's episode, we cover how to treat patients or yourself who suffer from Acne from a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective to help re-balance and find peace from pimples.

You get a spin off series!! We announce the book on the 1st of every month (on our FB page), so that you can follow along and the episodes will come out every 15th of the month. We'll see if the book is worth your time, effort and money reading. As well as dissect the little bits of information through the book. For our first book, we're reading The Web that has no Weaver by Ted J. Kaptchuk 2nd Edition. This book weaves the bridge between the unknowns of Chinese Medicine from a Western World, in hopes to share the knowledge and philosophy of the Chinese. Let's cross this bridge together this week on Du With us!
