Viral Hepatitis, an inflammation of the liver, is a collective term for several infectious diseases known for affecting liver function. These include Acute Viral Hepatitis and other forms, characterized by symptoms ranging from mild flu-like manifestations to severe liver damage.
This condition, often caused by a viral infection, leads to various sub-symptoms, significantly impacting liver functionality. These range from common forms like infectious hepatitis to more specific types such as Acute Viral Hepatitis, all falling under the broader category of Hepatitis.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perceives Viral Hepatitis through the lens of disharmony and imbalance within the body. TCM theory emphasizes that symptoms like those seen in Viral Hepatitis arise from specific imbalances and patterns of disharmony.
These patterns are often unique to the individual, highlighting the importance of identifying the specific TCM pattern affecting each patient. This personalized approach contrasts with Western medicine, which tends to categorize diseases based on common pathological features.
