摘要

Atopic Dermatitis (AD) in infants is an increasing global concern, with conventional treatments focusing on alleviating acute symptoms through topical steroids and mineral oil-based emollients while overlooking underlying imbalances. In contrast, Chinese Medicine takes a holistic approach, addressing both the symptoms and root causes. Herbal bath therapy, which takes advantage of the high permeability of infant skin, plays a crucial role in treatment. This method follows a three-phase process—draining, harmonising, and tonifying—to restore skin integrity and reduce the risk of recurrence.
