Trade ReviewNot only does this book provide a practical path to a deeper understanding of the treatment of acne and rosacea, but it does so in a way that is both learned and accessible. Ms. Schmitz introduces, explains and teases out complex concepts with clarity. As a practitioner who regularly treats skin conditions, I find the addition of her case studies to be a generous and invaluable tool allowing all who read this fine book the opportunity to greatly improve their clinical outcomes. -- Kerri Westhauser, DACM, L.Ac., Associate Professor and Director of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine, Maryland University of Integrative Health, MD, USA
