Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and pruritic skin disease. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), it falls under disease categories such as "tinea mildew", "blood-wind sores", "four bends of wind", and "sores of infiltration", with
yin
deficiency and dampness-accumulation being an important pathogenesis in elderly patients.
Ziyin Chushi Decoction
, created by Mr. ZHU Renkang, is an effective prescription for treating yin deficiency with dampness-accumulation in eczema and dermatitis. It can be modified for clinical treatment of elderly AD patients presenting with yin deficiency and dampness accumulation, often accompanied by
yang
deficiency,
qi
deficiency, blood stasis, blood deficiency, or blood-heat. Clinical application has demonstrated favorable efficacy.
