Chinese medicine - effective, but more research needed into treatment for eczema

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)  can be an effective treatment for eczema, according to a report from Department of Complementary Medicine, School of Postgraduate Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Exeter, however more research is needed.

Researchers at the University of Exeter carried out a review of Chinese medicine and its influence in the treatment of eczema. As Chinese medicine is promoted as a treatment for eczema, the researchers examined the existing evidence to see if it proved a useful recommendation in the treatment of eczema.

Of the two recorded clinical trials investigated, both were positive and suggest that Chinese herbs are more effective than a placebo. However, more trials are needed, particularly in relation to potential adverse side effects.
