How does TCM view {condition_name}?
TCM views urticaria as Wind invasion combined with Blood Heat or Wei Qi deficiency, where external triggers overwhelm the body's defensive capabilities and disrupt energy flow.
Understanding the Root Cause
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), urticaria is often linked to Wind invasion, Blood Heat, or Wei Qi (defensive energy) deficiency that affects the body's ability to resist external triggers. Allergens, stress, food sensitivities, or temperature changes may worsen these imbalances, while weak immunity or underlying digestive issues can contribute to chronic hive formation.
