Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common digestive disorder characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, and irregular bowel movements that can significantly impact daily life, work productivity, and emotional well-being. At Qin's Clinic, we offer a holistic Traditional Chinese Medicine approach that addresses the complex relationship between digestive function and emotional health to restore balance and improve quality of life naturally.
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.
