Is drinking Chinese medicine to get acne a detoxification?

Many people like to drink Chinese medicine for a long time to regulate their bodies, because most Chinese medicines have relatively small side effects on the human body, and they also have certain therapeutic effects on human diseases. There is also the possibility of improving human immunity in the process of drinking Chinese medicine. However, some people develop acne on their faces when taking Chinese medicine, so they wonder if acne on their faces during the process of taking Chinese medicine is a reaction to the body's detoxification?

It is possible. Detoxification with Chinese medicine will generally help acne disappear and will not cause more and more pimples. This may be because the medication is not suitable for the condition. Because detoxification needs to expel toxins from the stomach and intestines, some toxins will be excreted from the pores of the face. After all, they are excreted, and the pores on the human face are relatively small, so the pores are stretched, and there is no time to wash the face, so the toxins stay in the pores, and sometimes they are not cleaned thoroughly, forming acne over a long period of time.

Drinking Chinese medicine to treat acne during the detoxification period
