How does TCM view {condition_name}?
TCM views sciatica as Bi syndrome where Wind, Cold, and Dampness block meridian flow, particularly affecting Taiyang and Shaoyang channels while Kidney deficiency weakens the lumbar region.
Understanding the Root Cause
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), sciatica is commonly attributed to Bi syndrome caused by Wind, Cold, and Dampness blocking Qi and Blood flow along the channels and meridians, particularly the Taiyang and Shaoyang meridians running down the legs. Kidney deficiency may also weaken the lumbar region and predispose to chronic symptoms.
