Hot, red, and worse at night
Blood Heat · Xue ReBright, angry patches that feel warm to the touch. She runs hot, flares in warm rooms, and the itch peaks after bedtime.
Often: heat radiating from the skin, restless sleep

Her skin is telling you a pattern.
I'd love to help you understand her pattern through Chinese medicine. On a free 30-minute call, I'll guide you through the questions about her skin, sleep, digestion and history, then explain what the answers suggest and why.

If you're here
You already know the cycle.
- The steroid cream worked, then it didn't.Clear for a week, back worse, and now you're afraid to use it.
- You've tried everything reasonable.Moisturizers, elimination diets, the subscription box, the advice from strangers online.
- It's loudest at night.Tiny nails cut again, scratch marks on her cheeks, nobody sleeping.
- You want to know why.Not another cream. The reason her skin keeps doing this.
The idea
Eczema isn't one thing.
Two babies with the same rash can need opposite care. Chinese medicine sorts them by how the skin behaves: hot or dry, weeping or wandering. Here's how the four look, in plain words first.
Weeping and sticky
Spleen Dampness · Pi ShiPatches that ooze and crust. It often started with formula or first foods, and her digestion is part of the story.
Often: oozing, loose stools, bloating after feeds
Comes and goes, moves around
Wind-Heat · Feng ReA rash that appears suddenly, spreads, and fades somewhere else. Triggers in the air and the season matter.
Often: sudden flares, environmental sensitivity
Dry, rough, and thickened
Blood Dryness · Xue ZaoSkin that looks starved of moisture however much you apply. It's been there a while and doesn't weep.
Often: flaking, rough patches, little oozing
How it works
Let's work through it together.

Every claim carries its receipt
We publish what we see, dated.
- published case studies
- 4
- Each published with the family's consent
- days of documented follow-up
- 405
- The days tracked in each case file, added together
- documented protocol events
- 56
- As each case file counts them; Leo's has no documented count, so it is left out
Counted from the four published case files, the latest updated July 9, 2026.
See all case studies“It's not a lotion deficiency. He was deficient in something inside — I just couldn't figure it out.”
The published evidence: Chinese herbs matched to one eczema presentation beat placebo in two double-blind trials (Sheehan & Atherton, Br J Dermatol 1992; Sheehan et al., Lancet 1992), and the same formula given without that match did not (Fung et al., Int J Dermatol 1999). All 67 studies we cite are open and PubMed-linked in the research library, and The Two Vocabularies explains how Chinese medicine and immunology describe the same skin.
This is documented clinical practice, not a controlled study. Every baby is different, and we don't promise results by a date. Keep your pediatrician in the loop; nothing here replaces them.

Questions
What parents ask first.
Do I need to do a quiz or use the app first?
No. Book the free call and I'll guide you through the pattern questions. If you already have an assessment, we can talk through that instead.
Do I have to stop her steroid cream?
No. Keep working with your pediatrician; your plan accounts for what she's already using.
What will I understand from the call?
We'll look at skin, sleep, digestion and history together. I'll explain what the answers suggest within Chinese medicine and what needs clarification. This doesn't establish a medical diagnosis or the proven cause of eczema.
Is the call free?
Yes. The 30-minute call and pattern assessment are free. If ongoing support seems useful, we can discuss the $1,000 program; herbs and topicals are purchased separately. You don't have to buy anything to benefit from the call.
When can we speak?
Saturday or Sunday, 11 am–8 pm Eastern, with the last call starting at 7:30 pm. Choose a time at least 24 hours ahead. I'll call the number you enter on the booking page.
