As consequence, obviously, it affects in addition to the patient' s appearance, the daily activities, social life could also be disturbed. Therefore, it also effect patient' s psychology.Presently, due to modern medicine, acne is caused by synthesized factors, among which the androgen is the most common. In which irritates the hyperplasia of sebaceous glands. Exceed congestion of the funnel of the hair follicle, the infection of the microorganism inside the hair follicle. All above are the factors which cause acne. Currently, treatment like using the medicine pf androgen, restraining of the secretion of the sebaceous gland, anti-cornification and antibiotics are commonly used.According to TCM, acne is called lung-wind acne. In the last decade, Chinese medicine doctors had learned more about acne. In ancient times, acne referred to the disease caused by dampness-heat, heat in blood or in lung,the complexion of the phlegm and the blood stasis, the imbalance of the Flush and Conception Vessel. Professor Fan Rui Qiang had made a conclusion base on many years of clinical experiences. He concluded that beside of the heat blood in lung and stomach, he considers that it also includes the deficiency of kidney' s Yin which affects the liver), hyperactivity of ministerial fire, all above factors affect the face. In the other side, the liver and kidney have the same origin, the Yin deficiency of kidney can also result the liver' s Yin deficiency. As the time passes by, it brings the heat. Thus, Prof. Fan created a herbal soup based on his experiences, the nourishing Yin and heat-cleaning acne -removing herbal soup. It is very efficient, for the deficiency of Yin and the inner heat type in particular.In the last years, researches have made many investigations of this soup and finally formed a stable foundation. But rarely used WHOQOLJ3REF to make evaluation f its quality. Therefore, this report is an evaluation of the nourishing Yin and heat-cleaning acne -removing herbal soup, using the WHOQOL_BREF, it also reveals the enhancement or the transformation after using this herbal soup.Investigation' s method: From November 2004 to February 2006, we have been observing and making researches of 64 cases of patients who suffer from the acne of Yin Deficiency and inner heat type. We divided into 2 groups in random. 32 cases compared with 32cases. The 32 cases are called treatment group, they had tried the nourishing Yin and Heat-cleaning acne -removing herbal soup. Also use the facial acupuncture treatment (principally using the surrounding style). While the compared group using only the herbal soup. Both groups used the SanHuang ointment. The treatment routine was totally 4 weeks. During the experiment, each week in between we assessed the damage and the enhancement of the skin. Use the WHOQOL-BREF evaluation. After the experiment was done, we divided the WHOQOL-BREF table into PHYS, PSYCH, SOCIL, ENVIR, and 24 points. After experiment was finished, we arranged all ye clinical researches. Insert them into the computer, set the database withSPSS 11.0 software.The investigation' s result: 1. After the treatment, both groups patient' s damaged skin is enhanced. P=4%, P<0. 05, while the treatment group efficiency ranked 90. 63%. P=3. 9%, P<0. 05 based on the statistics. There revealed the comparison between 2 groups. No side-effects have been discovered. 2. Both groups have improved. Before taking treatment, both groups ranked P>0. 05 physically, psychologically, socially and the environment aspect were not obvious. After the treatment, P=0. 000. Comparing with the psychologically, P<0.05. Therefore, it is very obvious the enhancement of the treatment group is much more efficient than the compared group. The physical, environment aspects and the comparison of the compared group are not obvious P>0. 05, nonsense in Statistics.Conclusion: Integrating all the clinical experiments. It reveals the following: Using only the herbal soup is efficient, it enhances patient' s damaged skin. But we consider that the treatment is more efficient when using the facial acupuncture at the same time. And the time of treatment last shorter. During the experiment, we also discovered by surprise that the facial acupuncture could balance the facial' s grease, hair follicle-constriction, no side effect at all. It also brings a better life for the patients, psychologically, socially in particular. This report provides an extra new treatment, worth promoting.
