TCM views PMS as primarily caused by Liver Qi stagnation, where blocked energy flow affects emotional regulation and creates physical symptoms before menstruation.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), PMS is often linked to Liver Qi stagnation, which affects emotional and hormonal regulation throughout the menstrual cycle. Stress, overwork, and emotional strain can aggravate this pattern, leading to mood swings, pain, and digestive issues before menstruation as energy becomes blocked.
