According to a recent survey by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, atopic dermatitis is the number one chronic illness among infants aged 0-4. In severe cases, we often see people still suffering from atopic dermatitis well into their teenage years or even adulthood. Atopic dermatitis, which causes rashes and itching across the skin, is not simply a skin condition. So what causes this condition, and how can it be treated? This book takes a comprehensive approach to atopic dermatitis from the perspective of traditional Korean medicine. It offers a kind and detailed explanation of what irritates the skin, how this skin condition can be treated, and what food prescriptions can help relieve itching. The authors of this book argue that atopic dermatitis is no longer a condition seen only in a small number of children—it is the accumulated result of the contradictions of modern civilization, and nature's warning against environmental destruction. Because the causes of atopy align with the reasons our children have grown weaker today, the authors contend that treating atopy is no different from raising a healthy child.
