The field of Chinese medical dermatology is a fascinating one, no least because the visual component gives the practitioner conspicuous diagnostic information that internal conditions often do not. In today’s podcast we talk to Mazin Al-Khafaji, one of the worldwide leading figures in the treatment of skin and autoimmune conditions with Chinese medicine. We talk about Mazin’s time in China, discuss his thoughts on use of raw herbs vs. granules and delve into the various ways he addresses these disorders, from herbal formulas to external ointments and herbal enemas. We also touch upon Mazin’s fondness for 圍棋 Wei Qi, “Go” or Chinese Chess, and how its philosophy overlaps with that of Chinese Medicine.
