Orange Peel Skin (Enlarged Pores) on Cheeks

Your acupuncturist, who is most deeply familiar with your medical history, would be the right person to ask these questions to. What have they recommended and how long have you been going?

Your acupuncturist should be able to offer herbal recommendations, dietary recommendations and anything else that will be supportive of what they see as your diagnosis in Chinese Medicine terms.

I started going in February and went for two months to stop asthma attacks I was having. For my recent condition he suggested going 3-5 times so I just did my 5th session in 2 weeks and then will return once a month in the future. So far like I said the orange peel skin is the same although I’ve got some of the rash and redness under control, but that was accomplished through some ointments I have. He says it takes time to see results in the orange peel skin condition. He says maybe like in a month. He says first the lungs repair, then they control the regrowth of the skin. Although today for my last session he wasn’t quite as encouraging, he said to try to return before I have problems. He doesn’t really do herbs so he doesn’t have recommendations for me on that so I’m open to hearing what someone thinks would be good. I will be trying some doDeterra essential oils (a mixture of eucalyptus, frankincense and lemon oil) to help me breathe in the meantime which he thought sounded ok. You breathe them in to improve lung function. As for food he mentioned not drinking cold liquids and eating my protein earlier in the day, around lunch. I’ve read elsewhere that in Chinese medicine chicken is recommended and broccoli and carrots so I’ve been eating that.
–Do you think my treatment plan sounds like it will work? My five sessions, essential oils for breathing, then back in a month for maintenance? Do you agree that the lungs control the skin and that my skin condition is caused by weak lungs?
–He recommended some self-massage but he says that takes years before it has effect.
–And is there any place you’d recommend me learning more?

I’ve had a bad reaction to honey. It made my face go red. Is there an alternative to honey for the smoothing effect?

Thanks so much. I tried it today and mixed with egg white the mixture the
honey didn’t irritate my face. I’ll use it daily. How long does it take
to begin to show improvement? And how long does microneedling take to
work? I did buy a microneedle so I could try that as well.
