As lifestyle has become an advanced country, the number of atopic dermatitis (atopy) patients is increasing significantly.

Above all, more and more newborns are born with severe fetal fever from birth.
Taeyeol is known to heal on its own as it grows, but recently, it is getting worse.
An increasing number of adults are also suffering from atopic dermatitis.
Atopy is an immunological disease and, to be precise, is systemic dry dermatitis caused by an immune imbalance.
There are many causes of this immune imbalance.
Birth factors include cases in which parents have allergic diseases.
Acquired factors include residential environment, misuse of drugs, air pollution, stress, diet exposed to pesticides or heavy metals, and house dust mites.
In addition, immune imbalances can occur in newborns even if they are pregnant in an unhealthy state or are not feeling well during lactation.
There are reports that the number of children born with fever has decreased as a result of steadily taking lactobacillus, which is known to have immunomodulatory effects, in pregnant women with allergies.
There are also reports that the symptoms of children with atopic dermatitis improved by more than 50% when the mother lactated while taking lactobacillus.
In oriental medicine, atopic dermatitis is a state in which the balance of yin and yang is broken.
Heat poison accumulates in the body and is considered to be exhausted by excessively increased yang energy.
There are also reports that controlling this imbalance in yin and yang can cure the imbalance of immune cells.
Oriental medicine treatment can be largely divided into herbal medicine to improve the constitution and diet, herbal medicine, and fumigants.
Atopy is a disease that requires improvement in constitution.
In children's atopic patients, protein food acts as an antigen, which worsens atopic dermatitis.
Therefore, there are cases where protein foods such as meat, dairy products, and beans are blocked.
However, this rather reduces systemic immunity, which not only hinders atopic treatment, but can also lead to growth disorders due to a lack of protein.
It is important to find animal or vegetable proteins suitable for your child.
For children under the age of three, oriental medicine fumigation therapy is recommended to inhale herbal medicine through the nose to reach the effect of the medicine on the skin.
Patients with severe symptoms need to improve their skin condition by applying an antioxidant to their skin to relieve itching.
Pore training is an aerobic exercise that I would like to recommend for atopic patients.
