Feeling of uneasiness is a general sensation of discomfort or distress that is often difficult to pinpoint. It can manifest as a vague sense of unease, restlessness, or anxiety, affecting one's overall well-being. This symptom can occur intermittently or persistently and may be associated with other physical or emotional symptoms. In medical terms, uneasiness can stem from various physiological or psychological factors, making it a complex issue to diagnose and treat. Understanding its underlying causes is crucial for effective management and relief.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) views feeling of uneasiness as a manifestation of disharmony within the body's internal systems. According to TCM, this symptom can arise from various patterns of disharmony, including imbalances in Yin and Yang, Qi, and Blood, or disruptions in the flow of vital energy.
Identifying the specific pattern of disharmony is essential in TCM, as it guides the selection of appropriate treatments. Unlike Western medicine, which may focus on symptom relief, TCM aims to restore overall balance and harmony within the body to address the root cause of uneasiness.
