CMD Skin Solutions

Reposted from OCOM Alumni Spotlight:
Diana Hermann, MAcOM, LAc

Diana graduated from OCOM in 1999 and currently practices in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Her specialty is dermatology, both people and for pets. Diana has formulated premade granule formulas with matching topicals specifically for dermatological conditions and also has recorded webinar series that trains TCM practitioners in dermatology.

Diana's love of dogs and cats is what drives her passion to bring holistic dermatology to
more veterinarians and pet parents. She currently has nine senior dogs and one senior cat, all of which were rescued as adults or seniors. 

"I have two major professional goals: I want my legacy in this profession to be that CMD Skin Solutions makes it easier for TCM practitioners to get remarkable results treating skin conditions in their patients, and that more people have easier access to effective holistic products to ease their skin problems. And I want to help more veterinarians embrace holistic treatment for skin diseases in pets."

I'm so proud to have gotten my education at The Oregon College of Oriental Medicine (graduated 25 years ago!!). Thanks for highlighting me, OCOM! 🥰

Thank you, veterinarians! You have one of the toughest jobs ever. We here at CMD Pet Solutions appreciate you SO MUCH!

**BACK IN STOCK**
We sold out of our entire stock of Solution Y/F Herbal Foot Soaks in one day last week after publishing a video on how to resolve toenail fungus.

But we made another big batch, and it's back in stock. FYI, it works even faster for athlete's foot (fungal infection of the skin).

Our HERBAL SOAK for fungal infections of the feet/toenails is back in stock!

Solution Y/F Herbal Soak is a packet of herbs that you add to white vinegar and antiseptic mouth wash to soak the affected foot daily.

Use a container that has a lid (or pour the mixture back into a container you can close) so you can reuse the mixture for one week. After a week of soaking your foot daily, toss the old mixture and make a new batch.

The longer the herbs soak in the liquid, the stronger the mixture will be, so consider having a second batch of mixture brewing while you are using the first one, so it's ready for you when it's time to use a new batch.

I'm so excited! Our newest lip balm formula will be ready for you in 10 days. The labels are being printed right now. My lips have never been so soft! I sadly developed an allergy to the vegan wax we use in our BeeswaxFree lip balm 😫. My lips were peeling and scaly, that's how I knew I was becoming allergic. So I formulated a brand new lip balm and I can't wait for it to get to you! AuNaturel Triple Butter vegan lip balm for über sensitive lips 💋.

Contact allergy from a "safe" ingredient in skincare. Non-toxic does not mean hypoallergenic.

Lauryl glucoside is an alkyl glucoside primarily used as a surfactant in common cosmetic, skincare, and household products. This chemical is increasingly used as it is extracted from plant-based sources and considered ecologically safe. Photographed is a patient with a contact allergy due to lauryl glucoside in a personal care product.

I have seen lots of videos shared on social media about how to do facial gua sha on yourself. Most of them are clearly NOT from a trained practitioner of Chinese Medicine because they are absolutely terrible (ineffective, dangerous) techniques.

I used to teach this as a class, and this is the handout I would give. Maybe I'll record a video for you if there is enough demand, but for now, here are the written instructions for you. ENJOY!

Look at the difference in color here! This is beeswax, and both are sourced from the same vendor, both are organic and from U.S. beekeepers. Clearly the difference in color of this ingredient will affect the color of the products it goes into. So you can see that one batch of a particular ointment may vary quite a bit in color compared to past batches because of such differences in the natural ingredients.
