Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a unique viewpoint on breast blisters, considering them as external indicators of internal disharmony. Unlike Western medicine, which typically focuses on addressing the immediate cause of the blister, TCM emphasizes the critical need to identify the underlying pattern of disharmony within the body before embarking on treatment. This approach acknowledges that symptoms may manifest differently in individuals based on their specific patterns of disharmony.
