Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) interprets brown vaginal discharge as an indication of underlying disharmonies within the body, particularly involving the concepts of Qi, Blood, Dampness, and Heat. TCM seeks to understand these symptoms in the context of the body's holistic balance, identifying specific patterns of disharmony that might be contributing to the condition. Addressing brown vaginal discharge in TCM involves not only alleviating the symptom but more importantly, correcting the imbalances that lead to its manifestation.
