Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (eczema) is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease, affecting 15-30% of children in developed countries. It can occur at any age, as there is no definitive cure for this chronic disease, often accompanied by asthma or hay fever. As the treatment with corticosteroids is not completely successful, patients often seek complementary therapeutic options, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
