Traditional Chinese Medicine views spontaneous flow of breast milk as a manifestation of imbalance within the body's energy systems. TCM considers this condition a result of disrupted Qi flow and imbalances in the body's organs and meridians, particularly those associated with the breasts and reproductive system. In TCM, identifying the specific pattern of disharmony is crucial before initiating treatment, allowing for targeted interventions that address the root cause rather than merely suppressing symptoms.
