Are you referring to damp, oily skin and excessive sweating?

I have all of the listed. Excess sweating not so in idle, but everytime I do cardio skin exerts moisture rather easily even with easy pace and I have pretty good fitness. In yoga class after five sun salutations I am soaked.
There is also some amount of papules, vesicles and pustules on skin. Not all of them all the same time, but overall I do have them all. The prevalence seems to depend on what I eat, and doing yoga has almost completely removed the worst of this issue, but some remain and I wonder what more can I do to counter this.

Do you get any frontal or temple headaches?
Do you have any digestive upsets?
Any nasal expectoration of phlegm?
Are your stools loose and passed easily?

1. Not really.
2. Sometimes, nothing too serious however.
3. If I understood correctly, yes. Nothing massive, but I do have congestion 99% of mornings and I quite often sneeze clear almost thick mass out. Soft, yet uniform. Hopefully I conveyed it well enough.
4. Lately more often than not, varies quite a bit, overall yes.
Partly scratch previous post. I do actually have all of the listed, but some of them are not very prevalent and can vary in occurance and intensity, like temple and frontal headache. I pay almost no mind to it, but it is actually there from time to time.
The diagnosis is cold phlegm obstruction, and the herbal formula for healing is called Er Chen Wan.
It should be taken for at least two months at a low dosage, minding that the dosage will depend strongly on where you purchase said formula from.

Interesting, thank you! What would be considered as a low dosage? I investigated a bit and it seems this is sold in packs of 200 dosages. I will order next week.

Low dose would be 8 pills, twice per day if they are 200x teapills.

Okay, thank you so much! And wow, that's a lot of teapills. I'll order some, take them and report here how things go.

Situation report:
The delivery took almost two months. I received arrival notice when I was on a trip and took the first 8 pills moments ago.
Will continue to monitor and report how things go.

How is this going?
Centralforce666 wrote: How is this going?
The two bottles of tea pills I initially ordered ran out and I ordered four more from Activeherb. During the time I waited for those, I had about 1.5 weeks of not using tea pills and about three days of using less than 16 pills per day in total of almost two weeks. I've now had from Monday fresh stock and more than enough to follow through the suggested two month period.
I've had relief for mucous buildup in nostrils from this supplement. I think that has been the main benefit from this. Mild skin rash close to solar plexus has gone better, but not away during the period I have used this supplement. I am not sure how related that is to your diagnosis.
Although I suspect that there are one or more underlying patterns of inbalance that I need to fully be aware of to rectify, which leads me to consider your recent offer of individual consultations. I think there are other factors that are at play considering I have had only slight relief to the skin issues I mentioned earlier.

Phlegm takes a long time to move.
The medicine will not give complete relief from all symptoms straight away.
The fact that the mucus congestion has reduced shows it is working but it will take time to get to the deeper levels and remove the phlegm that obstructs the channels and has built up in the interstices.
The 2 month course may still yet not be long enough.

Sorry to invade the conversation, but I just saw you had a message in the mod queue, even if you have full posting rights. I fixed this, so you now are completely unmoderated. Sorry for the inconvenience brother.

Excuse me I have an off-topic question. Will Lord Ares' ritual be shared ?

Alright. Thanks for the info.
I now have redness of skin on face, and some rash plus dry skin on face and neck. I presume this is from the drying effect of herbs?

My personal opinion is that this formula could be somewhat drying, but it is more likely you had underlying yin deficiency or heat. Heat itself can promote the buildup of phlegm, so this could be the main culprit behind this.
You have to be careful when treating this because if you sap your yang through excessive yin building, then more dampness could be created due to a deficient spleen. It takes some self-awareness to know how much you can influence your body, either through acupoints or herbs, without disturbing the balance.
The large intestine 11External ↗ point is good for stimulating the intestines to remove both heat and therefore phlegm. Stimulating this to some amount would be useful, but don't do so much that you feel tired.
Spleen 6 also removes heat and builds yin, but it is stronger on the yin side and can be too broad for some applications.
If you exercise, then your yang energy should be good enough (assuming no overexertion). So it should be safe to divert some of that into yin-building/cooling actions.
The above is just my own opinion on the matter. I don't wish to totally derail your interactions with Centralforce here. It is better that you make use of his full consultations, if you have not already.
