Hemorrhagic conjunctivitis is an eye condition characterized by inflammation and bleeding of the conjunctiva, the delicate membrane covering the white part of the eye. This condition manifests through symptoms like redness, swelling, and ocular discharge, often accompanied by pain and discomfort. The presence of bleeding makes it a particularly alarming condition for those affected.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approaches hemorrhagic conjunctivitis by looking at the body's overall balance and harmony. In TCM, eye health is not seen in isolation but as a part of the body's systemic health.
Particularly, this condition is linked to the body's Qi and Blood balance and the health of the Liver, which in TCM is closely related to eye health. TCM identifies two key patterns related to this condition: Toxic Heat and Wind-Heat with Phlegm, emphasizing the need to correct these imbalances for treatment.
