Description
A key aspect of treating skin conditions with Chinese medicine is to administer herbs both internally and topically.
Sores and lesions in Chinese medicine that appear moist, swollen, or contain pus are said to have pathologic dampness.
Sores that are red, pink, or are blood-streaked, also have an element of toxic heat. Yellow discharge is another sign that heat has combined with dampness. To disperse swelling and inflammation and eliminate toxins, herbs are used that resolve dampness and clear toxic heat.
Treatment also aims to stop the itching that may come from a sore.
For this sort of damp-heat sore or lesion, it is recommended that topical treatment is with powdered herbs or a water-based decoction. This is because lotions and oil-based ointments would worsen the dampness. Skin Repair – Topical Powder can be applied directly onto lesions, or it can be combined with water to make a paste to put on the lesion.
The Chinese medicine treatment principles of the blend are to –
• Eliminate dampness
• Clear toxic heat
• Stop itch
• Promote healing of skin

Hua Shi (Talcum), Da Huang (Radix Et Rhizoma Rhei), Huang Qin (Radix Scutellariae Baicalensis), Huang Bai (Cortex Phellodendri), Shi Gao (Gypsum Fibrosum), Qing Dai (Pulvis Indigonis), Huang Lian (Rhizoma Coptidis Chinensis).
Made with 100% food-grade herbs and will not harm dogs if licked.
Treatment Course – As a general rule, the longer a dog has suffered with a health problem the longer it takes to resolve. Some conditions heal within a week or two. Others require longer treatment. If treatment is given for more than two weeks, we recommend treating for 8 days on and two days off.
Dosage
For best results, use together with Skin Repair – Internal Blend.
Before use, test on a small area of skin to assess reaction. If there are no unwanted effects, apply to larger areas as necessary.
Apply directly to itchy areas of skin up to 5 times per day. This topical powder is made with only food-grade ingredients and is safe for internal use if licked off the skin. Most dogs will choose not to lick this formula due to the bitter taste of the herbs.
When treating skin conditions with Chinese medicine, herbal formulas are generally prescribed both internally and topically.

TP –
Willie, our black Lab, used to get hot spots on his face all the time. During a bad outbreak I discovered Skin Repair powder. The hot spots were totally gone within a week or two. We then starting giving him the drops in his food. He hasn’t had a break out since. Thank you, thank you!
