389: Topical Steroid Withdrawal Treatment Using Traditional Chinese Medicine {NEW RESEARCH} w/ Dr. Olivia Hsu Friedman, DACM


Listen Later

What’s the best treatment for Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW)? While answers are still emerging, we’re getting closer.

TSW is a misunderstood, drug-induced condition that goes far beyond typical eczema. Many sufferers feel dismissed by doctors since there’s no formal diagnostic criteria and many dermatologists deny its existence. Yet symptoms like relentless itching, flaking, insomnia, “zingers,” and even depression can be life-altering.

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Olivia Hsu Friedman—a compassionate, research-driven Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner who reveals how TSW differs from eczema, and explains how Traditional Chinese Medicine addresses the “toxic heat” behind symptoms. 

If you’ve been told “it’s just eczema” or feel like nothing is working, this episode offers fresh hope and validation!
