External therapy refers to the method of applying traditional Chinese medicine directly to the facial skin, utilizing the temperature of water to stimulate the skin, meridians, and acupoints, as well as the transdermal absorption of the medicine, to achieve the effects of removing spots, lightening spots, whitening, and skincare. It follows the principles of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment, and based on different types of melasma, different medicines are added and directly applied to the skin. The medicine is absorbed into the bloodstream through the skin, so it is faster and more comfortable than taking medicine orally, without any adverse reactions, and without burdening the liver. It is known as "green therapy."
