Zhangjian Therapy and "Qi": The Most Popular Global Treatment for Ichthyosis
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".

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.

Ichthyosis is a rare skin disease with a global incidence rate of 1 to 4 per 1000. Patients experience dry, itchy, and even cracked skin with recurring scaling. This not only affects appearance but also damages the skin's basic functions. Patients with severe cases may suffer from impaired health of vital organs such as the liver and kidneys due to glandular dysfunction, leading to a reduced quality of life.

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.
