Tidal fever refers to a fever that rises and falls in intensity, often peaking at specific times of the day. This type of fever is characterized by fluctuations that resemble the tides, hence the name. Unlike a constant fever, tidal fever exhibits patterns of high temperature during certain periods, typically in the afternoon or evening, and lower temperatures at other times. Understanding this fever pattern is crucial as it often indicates underlying health issues that need to be addressed.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) views tidal fever as a manifestation of internal disharmony. Unlike Western medicine, which may focus on treating the fever itself, TCM seeks to identify and address the root causes of the fever. Tidal fever can result from various patterns of disharmony, such as Yin Deficiency or Qi Stagnation. Identifying the specific pattern is essential for effective treatment, as different patterns require different therapeutic approaches.
