Yin Yang Holistic Dermatology consultation determines what is unique about you. What inner imbalances led to lesions expressing on your skin? What other symptoms do you have? What kind of work do you do? What is your emotional state and how do you respond to stress?

Herbalist, Antonia Balfour looks closely at your skin and takes photos in order to inspect details, records the status of the skin and assesses progress. She will feel your pulse and look at your tongue to give important information about your constitution in Chinese medicine. Once she identifies the areas of imbalance, she puts together custom herbal formulas and recommends the best topical treatment (which may come in the form of an herb wash, cream, ointment, masque or gel). She also recommends beneficial foods as well as foods to avoid.
