At present, there are many modern medical treatments for the chloasma, such as taking drugs orally, applying ointment or laser, but most of them have the problems of insisting, rebounding, side-effects, etc. Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) considers that the cause of Chloasma is qizhixueyu or insufficiency of kidney and liver. But no matter using Chinese medicine or acupuncture, the course of treatment is very long and the curative effect is undefinite. So it is urgent to find a nice way to cure chloasma.Objective: This research is to discuss the curative effect of shengqingyang therapy for chloasma, and provide theory basis for reflecting the dominant position of acupuncture in treating chloasma. At the same time, study the relation between chloasma and Free radical to supply the clinical basis for making sure the cause of chloasma.Method: 61 patients from the acupuncture department of the 1st affiliated hospital of Guangzhou University of TCM were selected according to strict diagnosis standards, adopting norm and exclusion. 61 cases were randomly divided into the observation group treated by shengqingyang therapy, and the control group treated by traditional acupuncture. There were no obvious difference in sex, age, course of disease and the condition of maclulae. Then choose 30 other healthy women from the Physical Examination Center as healty conrol group. There were no obvious difference in age among the three groups. Both observation group and control group were treated with points such as a' shixue, quanliao, taiyang, yingxiang, xiaguan, ganshu, sanyinjiao, zusanli. And we added some other points when needed.
