First Principles thinking challenges all previously held assumptions. 
For many, what we discovered during this process may seem like blasphemy.

Here are our conclusions:

1. Prescribing herbs for dermatology can be quick and efficient.
Traditionally, dermatology in TCM has been treated by raw herbal formulas written from scratch and generally requiring long decoctions. This is cumbersome and creates resistance from patients, negatively effects compliance and damages your clinic's bottom line. 


2. The 8 most common skin conditions respond exceptionally well to granule formulas.  
There are hundreds of skin conditions but realistically, there is a bell curve and the vast majority will be the same repeating 8 or so conditions over and over.
Sure, sometimes raw herbs are needed but for 90+% of what you are going to see as a general practitioner, granules are just fine.  


3. Dermatology training can be concise AND done online. 
Currently, extensive specialty training in TCM dermatology is the only option.
It takes a long time. Classes are spread out over many in-person seminars with potentially complicated flight schedules and cancellations, expensive hotels, time away from your clinic and family and at the end, in order to actually practice what you learn generally requires further investment in a massive raw herb pharmacy (and everything that goes with managing and maintaining that) and, for some investment in very expensive decoction machines. Gotta have some deep pockets for that and just imagine how long it takes to actually get ROI (return on investment) on that. 

...and that's just to get started.


Introducing a TCM Dermatology Training For Everyone Else

Not everyone wants or needs to be a derm specialist, but you do need to know how to treat dermatology conditions. Did you know that the most common human disease (not just skin disease) in the world is acne? Roughly 95% of humanity will suffer from this condition at some point in their lives. Seems kind of important to know how to treat that... 

We went back to the drawing board. All the way back. Returning to first principles and challenging every core assumption about Chinese medical dermatology. We then teamed up with leading TCM dermatology expert Diana Hermann, MAcOM, L.Ac., CEO of CMD SkinSolutions to make this revolutionary training a reality.
We call it Strategic Dermatology. 

This is a clinical system and therefore it is not bogged down in hours and hours of theory before you can begin to use it. Strategic means focusing on the conditions you actually see and gets right to the practical applications of what you learn. 

This training distills 25 year of practice and clinical experience into about as many hours. That's invaluable. 

The 8 Most Common Conditions Covered: 

• Acne
• Rosacea 
• Perioral Dermatitis
• Seborrheic Dermatitis
• Psoriasis
• Atopic Eczema
• Pompholyx Eczema
• Herpes Zoster

But we're just getting started...

Why is Strategic Dermatology so special?

Because it's not just a training. It's a streamlined training that provides a streamlined solution. Built on the back of a brand new, cutting edge, proprietary herbal product line developed by CMD Skin Solutions, the vast majority of your dermatology cases are now effectively treated with a 36-formula, modular granular pharmacy.

We're going to repeat that:

MODULAR.  🤯

GRANULE.  🤯

DERMATOLOGY.  🤯

PHARMACY.  🤯

➡️ ⬅️ BUCKLE UP!

Now for the REALLY awesome part:

• NEW!! If you are outside the U.S. or simply prefer to use your own granule pharmacy, no problem!
  We are now including all of the specific ratios of each herb in Diana's unique formulas with every purchase.
  Yes, we are giving you the recipes! (Retail value: $priceless)​
  ​
• As an additional bonus, those who purchase this training in the U.S. you receive one (1) bottle of each of CMD Skin Solutions' revolutionary 36-formula specialized granule dermatology pharmacy to get you started right away! (retail value of > $1,000!)
  ​
  (Pre-made pharmacy is only available in the U.S. at this time due to laws and shipping restrictions not our intent to exclude international practitioners) ​
  ​
• That's right, if you don't want to, you don't have to mix your own formulas. ​
  This pre-made modular pharmacy is designed to be plug and play with a very limited number of formulas made especially for each skin disease at specific stages of presentation. All the work is done for you, think about the amount of time saved...
  
  
  

This training accomplishes the goal of precision visual diagnostics through hundreds of high-resolution images and details of the 8 most common dermatology conditions you are likely to encounter. Dermatology requires being able to identify the disease by visual inspection with a high degree of accuracy. At the conclusion of this training you will have little doubt as to which of the 8 you are encountering. 

The truly amazing part is that, once diagnosed, each of these 8 conditions are paired with a specific series and sequence of proprietary formulas based on key pattern manifestations and stage of disease. It's like plug and play. 

Remember: These formulas and combinations are used every day in Diana's own very busy TCM dermatology specialty practice. 


There are only 10 of these trainings sold per quarter in the U.S. to allow for granule pharmacy inventory to stay caught up. The program is only available for purchase quarterly (March, June, September, & December)
Once it is sold out, there won't be any more available until the next quarter. International orders are available on an ongoing basis.
