Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) interprets scanty and yellow urine as an indicator of imbalances within the body's internal systems. TCM views symptoms as signals of disharmony among the body's fundamental elements.

For this specific symptom, TCM primarily considers the balance of Yin and Yang, and the flow of Qi and Blood. The treatment approach in TCM involves identifying and correcting the underlying pattern of disharmony, rather than just addressing the symptom itself.
