Fibromyalgia is a complex and often misunderstood condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and memory and mood issues. It is a syndrome that affects millions worldwide, presenting a challenge in both diagnosis and management. Despite its prevalence, the exact cause of fibromyalgia remains unclear, with research suggesting a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors.
In contrast to the Western medical perspective, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approaches fibromyalgia through the lens of energy flow and balance within the body. TCM posits that fibromyalgia symptoms arise from imbalances or blockages in the body's vital energy, known as Qi.
These imbalances are thought to be caused by various patterns of disharmony, emphasizing the importance of identifying the specific pattern affecting each individual before pursuing treatment. This holistic approach looks beyond the symptoms to address the root cause of the condition.
