Enteric Cholera, synonymous with cholera in the intestines and intestinal infection with Vibrio cholerae, is a severe bacterial infection of the small intestine. This ailment is characterized by acute, watery diarrhea and can lead to rapid dehydration. It is primarily caused by ingesting contaminated water or food, particularly in areas with poor sanitation.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) interprets enteric cholera through a lens different from Western medicine, focusing on the disharmony of internal elements rather than the bacterial cause. TCM considers the disease a result of imbalances in the body’s Qi, Yin, Yang, and Dampness, and its treatment aims to restore this harmony.
