Press Reviews

• Kerri Westhauser, DACM, L.Ac., Associate Professor and Director of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine, Maryland University of Integrative Health, MD, USA

Not only does this book provide a practical path to a deeper understanding of the treatment of acne and rosacea, but it does so in a way that is both learned and accessible. Ms. Schmitz introduces, explains and teases out complex concepts with clarity. As a practitioner who regularly treats skin conditions, I find the addition of her case studies to be a generous and invaluable tool allowing all who read this fine book the opportunity to greatly improve their clinical outcomes.

• Peter Deadman

Skin diseases - especially those affecting the face - can be the cause of real suffering. While modern medicine is often ineffective in treating them, Chinese medicine often excels. This wonderful book by Sabine Schmitz offers practitioners the tools to benefit countless patients and is a gift to the profession.

• Bettina Brill, TCM practitioner, Co-editor of The Lantern, Australia

Sabine has written another great clinical guide for TCM dermatology. Treating Acne and Rosacea with Chinese Herbal Medicine is packed with useful practical information, case studies, good quality illustrations, external applications and pharmacological research. A great resource for practitioners and students.

• Olivia Pojer, MD, president of the Austrian Acupuncture Association and international lecturer

By far the best book on acne and rosacea treatment with Chinese Medicine. What makes it a real treasure is the integrative approach, giving insights not only in the Chinese Medicine´s point of view but also into Western standard care.
