TCM views Crohn's Disease as Spleen and Kidney Yang deficiency with Damp-Heat accumulation and Qi stagnation that creates chronic inflammation and digestive dysfunction.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Crohn's Disease is often linked to Spleen Qi deficiency, Kidney Yang deficiency, and Damp-Heat accumulation in the intestines that create chronic inflammation and impaired digestive function. These imbalances weaken the body's ability to properly transform food and fluids while allowing pathogenic factors to accumulate and cause persistent intestinal inflammation.
