“TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) has allowed me to ween off all topical steroids and an immunosuppressant… TCM has put my eczema into remission. I currently am symptom-free. The herbs Olivia first prescribed had an immediate positive effect on my mood. I also experienced an immediate cooling of my body, which had begun to feel feverish most nights. The bags under my eyes have become less and less prominent, so long as I do my own work to avoid known allergens and explore potential unknown allergens. Over the treatment time, severe itch went from disrupting my nightly sleep and life to a complete non-issue. My arms, legs, neck, face, and back have cleared. .”

“I am now able to sweat, a normal skin function that allows the body to cool itself. I also notice that when I am outside and become warm from the sun, I don’t automatically go into a flare state.”

“I cannot endorse Amethysts Holistic Skin Solutions or Dr. Friedman highly enough. I have been plagued by Psoriasis for years, and under her treatment I have finally begun to see an improvement. She worked with me in order to develop a routine that worked and explained things in a way that got me past my misgivings. I would recommend anyone giving it a chance because it has certainly worked wonders for me… Thank you, Dr. Friedman!”

“The amazing thing is that with Olivia, we work as a team. It’s not like going into a western doctor’s office where you sit there for five minutes, get a prescription and leave. She takes the time to find out everything that’s going on with you, everything about you, and also offers emotional support while you’re going through the treatment. I’ve never experienced that before with any doctor or practitioner.”

“When I met Olivia for the first time via video conference it was a very smooth process. She was very honest and up front about what she could do for me and how Chinese Herbal Medicine could help…I am finally able to leave my house without hiding my face. I am actually smiling again and it has been a very long time since I have been able to.”

“After a year and half of looking for answers and consulting with a dermatologist, an eye and sinus doctor, I was left with no diagnosis and only a steroid prescription. In less than 3 months, Olivia was able to gradually resolve all my symptoms. Olivia is a pleasure to work with – she is professional, kind, and most importantly knowledgeable practitioner who you can trust.”

“After trying so many other treatments, and seeing my regular dermatologist, I was at a loss with treating my eczema. I was referred to Olivia. It was so convenient to schedule either in person or online (which I loved). Through Olivia’s easy to follow treatment plan, I quickly began seeing measurable improvements. And after a couple of months, my eczema had cleared! Thank you!!!”

“Over the last couple of years, I had developed a mild, yet persistent case of eczema over various parts of my body. Over the counter medications initially offered some relief, but never quiet cleared it up… In working with Olivia over the course of a little more than four months, her formulas really helped to control my eczema outbreaks and cleared me up completely.”

“Very quickly into the treatment I was noticing that my skin felt much younger to the touch. I hadn’t realized how unhealthy it had become over the years, but it began to feel smooth and supple. As I continued to work with Olivia, the acne also began to clear up… I no longer struggle with what was a daily issue. The treatment and knowledge that Olivia has provided me has made a world of difference!”

“A huge part of TSW recovery is having a supportive mentor who believes in you and your healing. Someone who actually understands the condition and is familiar with it and can help lead the way out. I’m so grateful for Olivia, not just for the physical help from the herbs, but also her understanding and support.”

“After 10+ years, 4 dermatologists, countless steroid creams, and no relief from the painful eczema on my hands, Olivia was the first and only person who was able to help me. Through a combination of herbs and topical creams, my hands have cleared up completely, and I actually feel like myself again. Not only did her treatment cure me of my eczema, but she was wonderful to work with from start to finish. I can’t tell you enough how happy and relieved I am to have my hands back!”
“Abby”
“I have no doubt it would have taken me many more years to heal from TSW had I not had Dr. Olivia’s help. I wish everyone going through this terrible condition could have the gift of Olivia’s treatment. Dr. Olivia truly gave me my life back. It’s really difficult going through a condition largely unrecognized by western medicine. Many friends and family members don’t understand the severity of what you’re going through. To have a doctor that is kind, extremely talented, and can actually support you back to health in a safe way is a gift. I will forever be grateful.”

“How do I adequately thank the person who helped me heal from the most hellacious health crisis I’ve ever experienced? I’ve been sick before, but not like this. TSW was another level. One thing that struck me immediately is just how intently she listens. With empathy. Not too many doctors fit this description these days. Coupled with her ability to explain the impact steroids have on our bodies, she outlined a program that would gradually heal me. I’m eternally grateful. Dr. Olivia, thank you with all my heart … and skin”

“I was very happy with my experience with Olivia at Amethyst…I was experiencing steroid-induced rosacea all over my face from quitting topical steroids (that I had been using daily for over a year) cold turkey. I had huge splotches around my eyes and chin, and a general puffiness all over my face. After 5 days of testing out the herbs, and two full weeks of taking the packets 2x daily, I am completely clear.”

“Dr. Olivia supported my journey as I weaned my skin off of years of steroid cream application by adjusting the herbal medicine formula along the way. I was also able to utilize virtual appointments, address my skin concerns and symptoms. I ended each call feeling like I had a plan for healing! Her compassion and expertise inspired me to keep on track.”
“Claire”
“I was at the point of almost giving up hope as my eczema had gotten so bad that it affected most of my body with inflamed red, itchy, and flakey skin. I tried everything, including Dupixent. Dr. Olivia said these symptoms are manageable with herbs as they help heal from the inside. After following her suggested regime…I noticed my skin making improvements. The redness and heat on my face had come down, and the dry flakes were no longer ruling my life…I’m still a work in progress but thank you Dr. Olivia for healing me and giving me hope!”
