How does TCM view {condition_name}?
TCM views vitiligo as primarily caused by Qi stagnation, Blood deficiency, and Liver/Kidney imbalance where Wind invasion disrupts melanin production and skin pigmentation processes.
Understanding the Root Cause
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), vitiligo is attributed to Qi stagnation, Blood deficiency, and Liver/Kidney imbalance that affects melanin production and skin pigmentation processes. Wind invasion or chronic internal imbalance disrupts the body's natural pigmentation mechanisms, creating areas where melanocytes cannot function properly to maintain normal skin color.
