here is some advice. What you have in ayurveda is a vata imbalance it can cause EC. Now they wont call it EC b/c ayurveda is the oldest med in the world and its from India. I have not posted here for long b/c ppl dont beleave me when i tell them that you CAN cure this. Its Easy! Dont listen to derms dont listen to TCM’s i have used them all! Listen to an Ayurvedic Practitioner! Find one that studyed in India or a NAMA approved School! Google national ayurvedic medical association find a dr in your area! I had EC and ayurveda helped me soo much that i am studying ayurveda now! *** #1 ...

Again I will say it one more time. Look at my past posts. You WILL get cured with ayurveda. All of EC suffers have dry skin that is a vata imbalance. Vata= one of the 3 body constitutions in ayurveda. What this poster discribe about food allergies blowting etc is ecatlly a vata imbalance. Ayurveda is the oldest medicine in the world! Even though it is not practiced widely in the US yet, you can find some clinics in the US. There is one, happens to be the college i am attending, here in miami. Its called Sai Ayurvedic College. Also Dr. Pritima Reashure has an Ayurvedic skin clinic in NYC. I ...

bunny TCM will treat ur conditon by fixing whats wrong (the source) yes it will take long but you need to stick with it. TCM is not about immunity boosting! You need to go to a good TCM perferably one with a Dr. degree from china not a Masters from the US. Alot of US learned TCM’s dont really know all that much i have found. I was diagnosed with spleen weakness and liver qi dificency. and thats is prob what you have too. The spleen is connected to the lips. If ur TCM does not give you a diet plan he she sucks.

montrial looks like you might have the same thing as me. My TCM said it was becuase i have high damp heat from my spleen. Besides the acupuncture and the herbs she said to do exsersis to get rid of the heat. Thats problebly whey its working for you. Also to eat NOOO spices only salt and no sugar or sour things like O.J. In TCM swollen chapped lips come from the spleen and it my case i also have high eat from my liver. Go to a TCM and get yourself evaluated! Go to one that studied in china.   [End]

All the symptoms she said i have i really do have and i did not lead her on. The spleen i coneted to my lips and i have low liver ”qi” as well. As for why it started when i was 16 is b/c my male hormones put off balance my cold are (Yin) and its not level with my hot area ( yang). b/c the male hormones put up my yang hot area and in turn they go up and mess up my lips. Its all bout an imbalance not a toxin in the body.   [End]
