How does TCM view {condition_name}?
TCM views IBS as primarily caused by Liver Qi stagnation and Spleen Qi deficiency, where emotional stress and digestive weakness create intestinal disharmony and symptoms.
Understanding the Root Cause
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), IBS is often caused by Spleen Qi deficiency, Liver Qi stagnation, and Cold or Heat invading the intestines that disrupt digestive harmony. Emotional stress, poor diet, and irregular lifestyle patterns can disturb the digestive system's natural balance, leading to the characteristic symptoms of abdominal pain, bloating, and altered bowel patterns.
