Cholecystitis, commonly known as gallbladder inflammation, is a medical condition characterized by the swelling and irritation of the gallbladder. This inflammation often leads to severe pain in the upper right abdomen, potentially radiating to other areas. Cholecystitis can manifest in two forms: Chronic Cholecystitis, which develops slowly, and Acute Cholecystitis, marked by sudden, intense pain.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), chronic cholecystitis is interpreted through a lens focused on energy, balance, and the flow within the body's systems.
TCM considers this condition as a result of imbalances, particularly affecting the Gallbladder and Liver. This perspective underscores the significance of identifying specific patterns of disharmony unique to each individual, guiding personalized treatments to restore balance.
