How does TCM view {condition_name}?
TCM views arthritis as Bi syndrome where Wind, Cold, and Dampness obstruct meridians and Qi flow, combined with Liver and Kidney deficiencies that weaken joint structures.
Understanding the Root Cause
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), arthritis is commonly linked to Bi syndrome (痹证), caused by Wind, Cold, and Dampness invading the meridians and obstructing Qi and Blood flow. Over time, this stagnation leads to joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, while underlying deficiencies in Liver and Kidney function weaken the tendons and bones.
