Brucellosis, also known as Malta fever or Mediterranean fever, is a bacterial infection primarily transmitted from animals to humans. This disease can cause a range of symptoms, including fever, sweats, malaise, anorexia, headache, and muscle pain.
In severe cases, it can affect various organs and cause chronic symptoms. Brucellosis is a significant health concern, particularly in areas where animal husbandry practices expose humans to infected animals or their products.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perceives brucellosis not just as a bacterial infection, but as a manifestation of underlying imbalances in the body's vital energies. In TCM, diseases like brucellosis are believed to arise from disharmonies within the body's Qi (vital energy), Yin and Yang, and the balance between the body and its environment.
The treatment focuses on restoring balance and strengthening the body's defensive mechanisms, emphasizing the identification of individual patterns of disharmony to effectively address the symptoms.
