Condition Categories
Dizziness encompasses a range of sensations, from feeling faint and lightheaded to experiencing a loss of balance or vertigo—a false sense that you or your surroundings are spinning or moving. It can be momentary or persistent, and it may be indicative of various underlying conditions. Severe dizziness is particularly disorienting, often requiring medical attention to determine its cause and appropriate treatment.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, dizziness is often perceived as a disharmony within the body's internal landscape. It's considered a symptom of underlying imbalances, whether in Qi (vital energy), Blood, Yin, Yang, or the harmony between these elements.
Identifying the precise pattern of disharmony is crucial in TCM, as it guides the bespoke treatment—aiming not just to alleviate the symptom of dizziness but to address its root cause and restore the body's balance.
