Why choose Zhangjian Therapy?

1. What is Ichthyosis?

Ichthyosis is a hereditary skin condition characterized by dry, rough skin covered in scales due to abnormal keratinization. Different types of ichthyosis present with different symptoms, resulting in varying manifestations in individual patients.

2. Why is Ichthyosis so difficult to cure?

Because ichthyosis is a hereditary skin disease caused by gene deletion, patients only see the scales on their skin, don’t see the damage to the skin's basic function. In particular, blockage and narrowing of the three major glands in the skin, along with premature aging of new skin cells, lead to severe abnormalities in skin metabolism. Therefore, simply removing the surface scales of the skin cannot cure ichthyosis without restoring the skin's basic function.

3. Why can Zhangjian Therapy treat ichthyosis?

Zhangjian Therapy utilizes vaporized fumigation technology patented in both China and the U.S. It vaporizes plant-derived extracts and applies them to the skin surface. This process softens keratin and removes scales while unclogging the three major glands of the skin—sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and hair follicles. As the glands open and close, they actively absorb the medicinal vapors, allowing the active compounds to enter the body. This action specifically helps repair the basal layer of the skin and improves the cellular environment. Once the skin’s basic functions are restored and metabolism returns to normal, ichthyosis can be effectively resolved.

 Zhangjian Therapy Fumigation Process

"Qi", an energy source from the mysterious East that has existed for thousands of years...

1. What is "Qi"?

In the Eastern context, "Qi" is not simply air or gas; it's not just breathing, but also movement, flow, excretion, strength, energy, and the universe.

If you are unfamiliar with "Qi", maybe you are familiar with Qigong and Taiji in Chinese Kung Fu, especially those who have seen films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Kung Fu Panda, who can certainly sense the presence and spiritual ambiance of "Qi".

2. The operation of "Qi" and its conditioning of the body

Many people don't fully understand Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), thinking it's just about herbal medicine. In fact, TCM is not just about herbal medicine; it also includes "Five Elements," "Yin and Yang," and "Qi". TCM holds that "Qi" is the most fundamental and subtle substance that constitutes the human body and sustains life activities. It is formless yet functional, flowing throughout the body, penetrating the internal organs and meridians, equivalent to the driving force and energy of life.

3. Zhangjian Therapy and "Qi"

Currently, the most effective global treatment for ichthyosis is "Zhangjian Therapy" from China. It uses herbal fumigation, where medicated steam directly contacts the scaly skin, allowing the medicinal properties of the herbs to act directly on the affected area. While removing scales, it unblocks and dilates the three major glands: sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and hair follicles. As these glands open to discharge sweat, sebum, and waste, they absorb medicinal vapor in reverse. The vapor merges with the circulating "Qi" in the body to form a new energy stream that circulates throughout the system. This energy drives microcirculation within the human body, flowing through meridians, zang-fu organs, skin tissues and blood. It ascend, descend, exit, enter and converge in the body, nourishes, regulates and facilitates bodily metabolism through exercise. As a result, it repairs and restores basic skin functions while boosting physical fitness and immunity.

The circulation of "Qi" accelerates blood flow and bodily metabolism. When the body reaches its optimal repair state, it stimulates the discharge of sebum, sweat, urine and feces to eliminate internal waste. Only when all bodily circulations are unobstructed can basic skin functions be restored. Combined with specially formulated topical nourishing skincare products exclusive to Zhangjian Therapy, active ingredients penetrate deep into the basal layer of the skin, improve the growth environment of skin cells, and protect and nourish the development of new cells. The skin becomes smooth and moisturized, and scales stop recurring.

The Invention and Global Impact of Zhangjian Therapy

1. Invention Stemmed from Love for Her Daughter

Over 50 years ago, Zhang Jian sought medical help everywhere because her daughter suffered from ichthyosis. As a doctor, she couldn't help her daughter, and even dermatologists at major hospitals were helpless with ichthyosis. Therefore, Zhang Jian embarked on her journey to research and treat ichthyosis. After several years of dedicated research and experimentation, in 1975, Zhang Jian combined her herbal formula, developed through hundreds of experiments, with ancient Chinese medicine fumigation therapy, inventing a method specifically for treating ichthyosis—Zhangjian Therapy.

By 2025, Zhangjian Therapy had cured more than 54,000 patients with ichthyosis worldwide and had received numerous awards and recommendations from multiple organizations, including the China Medical Association and the China Rare Disease Association.
