How does TCM view {condition_name}?
TCM views labour preparation as optimizing the smooth flow of Qi and Blood while balancing Liver and Kidney systems to ensure the body is energetically and physically ready for delivery.
Understanding the Root Cause
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), labour is guided by the strength and smooth flow of Qi and Blood, along with the balance of Liver and Kidney systems governing reproductive function. If energy is blocked or the body is depleted, it may lead to delayed labour, excessive fatigue, or prolonged contractions, making preparation essential for optimal birthing outcomes.
