TCM views indigestion as disharmony in the Stomach and Spleen systems, often caused by Qi stagnation, Heat invasion, and weakened digestive function affecting food transformation.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), indigestion often arises from Spleen Qi deficiency, Stomach heat, or Food stagnation that impairs normal digestive function. Poor diet, chronic stress, irregular eating habits, and overwork can disrupt the harmonious flow of digestive energy, leading to symptoms like bloating, acid reflux, and uncomfortable fullness after meals.
