In Traditional Chinese Medicine, hypochondrial fullness and distention relieved by warmth are viewed through the lens of energy flow and balance within the body. TCM posits that such symptoms arise from specific disharmonies and imbalances in the body's vital energies—Qi, Blood, Yin, and Yang.

Recognizing the precise pattern of disharmony is essential, as it guides the therapeutic approach and treatment strategy. This condition is often linked to issues in the liver and gallbladder meridians, which are believed to influence the smooth flow of Qi and blood in the body's lateral regions.
